My OEC Finally finds a home in Quest Manufacturing Custom Vintage Tiffany Inspired Setting

[mrssalvo]

Well, IT"S DONE

After much consideration I finally found a setting for my OEC stone. A big thanks so snowbunny for posting the original Vintage Tiffany ring as her inspiration. I sent my stone and pics to Quest Manufacting and the brothers have been awesome. The ring ended up being a bit more than they anticipated and the entire piece was done by hand. It took a little longer than expected but I believe it to be so worth the wait. It will be here tomorrow am and will be sure to post hand pics. (i don't know what the tiny black dot is on the stone, i've never seen it before..)

Beautiful. I love it!

 

[Kaleigh]

Yay mrssalvo, its gorgeous!!! I love the setting!!!

 

[mrssalvo]

thanks, i think it turned out beautifully. the pic shows a small blob of metal on the far right b/t the two stones. I called quest to find out what it was. they said it was just a weird reflection or something and that it doesn''t look at all like that in person. we all know how pictures can do strange things to diamonds....

Mrssalvo! That is a work of art, truly. I am so glad it's worth the wait! Wow. Cannot WAIT for hand pics! I wonder how it will look with your e-band? Sooooo exciting!

 

[mrssalvo]

oh yeah, the e-band...well, I had hap take all the measurements for a matching miligrain e-band that would sit underneath the gallery (don't want to block those diamonds

) just in case my current one doesn't fit

It''s freaking gorgeous!!! I love the design - so elegant and unique, like ribbons of diamonds around your OEC! I just love it. Can''t wait to see more pics!!!

Milgrain... my absolute favorite.

You have to promise me that once you get that band, we will arrange a GTG so we can try each others'' rings on!

What is it? fabulous OEC day??? WOW, mrssalvo--this is an exquisite ring.

Like I said to kaleigh, these OECs have so much character and life...very different from the dime-a-dozen stones we often see today (one of which is mine!

)

Great ring, great setting, luscious stone! Congrats!
