EEEEE! I am so excited to show off my latest acquisitions, both from DBL.

The first pretty was purchased as a finished ring that David had on his website- a neon pink sapphire ring with a diamond melee halo. The sapphire is 2.23 carat and reminds me of candy. It makes me very hungry looking at it :cheeky: I have named her 'Pink Panda'.

The second pretty required a LOT of back and forth and OCD behaviour on my part. I am HORRIBLE at making decisions regarding setting stones and I had a lovely Argyle pink I had picked up from Leibish. I knew I'd need a double halo so it would have presence on my hand and to that end I picked everyone's brains here at PS https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/help-me-set-this-wee-guy.160976/ and gave poor David quite a bit of agita. I must have emailed him like a hundred times trying to decide how to set it :errrr: Eventually I spotted a ring/semi mount on his website http://rockdiamond.com/index.php/je...rose-gold-with-pink-diamonds-uber-ring-so4056 that I fell in love with and I asked him to make the exact same one for my diamond! I got my ring yesterday and I am over the moon :D It is mad sparkly and the whole effect is distinctly pink.

If you suffer from a pinkness affliction, I would highly recommend talking to David and discussing treatment options 8-)

Here are the rings :appl: I hope you guys like them! I am so happy :love: :love: :love:

Man, love the rings, love the nails, and love the rose (David Austen?)! You've got amazing taste!

Thank you Kelpie :D Are you a polish and rose lover too? The polish is Revlon 'Jaded' (which I am most certainly not :lol: ) and the rose is David Austin's 'Abraham Darby'. Smells delicious in our crisp Fall weather :)

Gorgeous Rings!!!!!! I just love them, but especially the double halo. And I have to agree that I think David is wonderful to work with! I have purchased a FLY from him and I hope to do more business with him in the future.

Both of them are very beautiful, but why haven't you posted more photos? You can't seriously think that we can be satisfied by 4 pictures of these beauties!

Gorgeous, and they look beautiful on your hand.

Um, hello! Congrats and thank you very much for sharing.

I've loved window shopping at DBL's site for so long, and lately I think his reproduction cushions are out of this world.

They're, yes, very, very beautiful. Thank you again.

I just appreciate others' nice nails, mine never look that nice. I tend to get obsessed with things and want to know everything about them. Before I was obsessed with gems it was roses. I had several A Darby bushes but they never took off because of the cane borers and cold winters. Now I just grow things that want to thrive naturally. Abraham Darby is the best smelling rose for sure. Mine was always peachier than your pink bloom there, though I knOw cameras rarely get the color right.

Thanks Imdanny, Laila, QueenB29.

Kelpie: I was obsessed with roses long before I got fond of jewels :) My dad and granny were rosarians as well. I grow 45 roses at the moment, it's always a huge mercy when they come through winter unscathed. I can't live without my flowers! And the prettiest gems always remind me of my favorite blooms.

All: here are some more pics. Enjoy! :appl: I wish I was a better photographer and I wish I could capture the sparkle but I couldn't!

Thanks Lil Misfit, pregcurious, TristanC, snoopkat.

Preg: Is the ring in your avatar the Champagne diamond ring that whiteflash sells? I love that ring! :love:

Tristan: I tried but my DSLR will not let me take closeups :( I don't have a special lens for it.
