my OEC ering

[kimikocat]

I posted this over in Rockytalky--it''s an OEC, K-colored, VVS2, 1.95 cts, in a platinum setting (basket) w/ engraving... Here I''m trying on a hearts on fire half-eternity band...that doesn''t actually belong to me!

 

[Deelight]

OMG that is beautiful I really like the band with it as well

 

[Sparkalicious]

This photo was taken before the jeweler engraved the prongs. Now the prongs are engraved with a foliate pattern, and there''s a bit of milgrain as well.

 

[kimikocat]

Another view, pre-engraving. I don''t seem to have any photos of the engraved basket...

its beautiful!! i will defintely admit that OEC''s are one of my many loves, and yours is lovely!!

 

[NewEnglandLady]

What a beautiful ring!! I can''t believe that''s a K, it looks very white, even from the sides! Enjoy it!

 

[kimikocat]

The stone has medium blue fluorescence, which may help it. But the body color is scarcily noticeable most of the time. You have to really try--and only under bright sun--to find the yellow tint.

Hey hey Kimikocat, your ring is spectacular! I just adore the engraving on the shank and the sides, and would love to see some pics of your basket after you had it engraved ...

Hello lovely PSers--

I''m at a sales meeting this week, and I don''t have my e-ring with me...so I will take more detailed shots this weekend, once I''m back home. If you take a good look at the setting, the basket joins the shank in a way that''s just a bit clumsy, but the engraving work helps redeem it, a little bit. I''ll post some detailed images of the engraved basket and prongs and you can see what I mean.

BTW--I took the ring with me when I visited Larry Van Craeynest in San Francisco, and he brought out a gorgeous silver piece engraved by his father. It was amazing to see the difference b/t the engraving on my shank, and the very three-dimensional work done by the van Craeynests. My ring was hand-engraved--all the sides are asymmetrical because my engraver followed his eye--but Larry''s father practiced an even more refined form of hand-engraving, and his leaves and flowers have a bit more life. There aren''t many artists of that caliber left...
