Neatfreak, question about oval?

[Taylorbug!]

Is there a thread with more pictures of this ring? If anyone can find it, please post a link to the thread.

 

[JuneRose]

I'm pretty sure she doesn't have one... I would LOVE to see some more photos too

 

[derbygal]

I was just getting ready to post the same question!! Would love to know more details and see more shots of this beauty. Can't stop thinking about it!

 

[minousbijoux]

I agree! I think that is one of the most simply beautiful settings I've seen - more pics!

No there isn't a thread.

It is an antique faceted oval with an open culet. Estimated J VS. The setting is by Steven Kirsch and is platinum and handforged. And the ring is gorgeous.

There's a face-up shot in this blog from our GTG (which is also linked in the current blog on ovals):

Jewel of the Week: Special Edition - PS GTG Blingathon! Part One

It's one of the loveliest oval engagement rings I've seen--and the oval itself is a rare old-cut. TDF!! So glad I got to see and photograph this beauty at the GTG!

Coati's other pic from the GTG:



Neatfreak was told this is here by friends. She's under the weather at home with twins though... so she's a bit overwhelmed. I'm sure she'll post when she gets a chance!

I have never been able to open Steven Kirsch's website properly... I think I must need to update software, or I have a weird setting on or something... Sad situation!!!

[Taylorbug!]

Gypsy, please keep us updated on Neatfreak.....hope she is feeling better!

 

[neatfreak]

Sorry guys!!! Gypsy told me I was a wanted woman and this is my first chance to pop in! Crazy time at work and add in a set of twins, and whoa! No time!

I don't have any more photos right now but could answer any questions you guys might have! I'll try and take some more pics but realistically not sure when I'll have time.

Thanks for all the compliments! I adore the ring and Steven was lovely to work with!

I absolutely love this setting and had previously found a similar antique setting that I've discussed with our jeweler, but I keep going back and forth between this and a halo. I'm planning on having a very light peachy sapphire as the centre stone - what do you all think this would look like with a very light peach centre stone (think similar to morganite colour, but with the refraction of sapphire obviously!)? I was alternatively thinking of a halo in rose gold (I think with this style setting I would stick to white gold as the rose might be a bit much?) With getting a custom ring I just have such trouble visualising what it will be like so I'd love some input!

 

[pregcurious]

If you want to emphasize the peach color, you could do a halo of icy white diamonds, and use rose gold prongs/bezel just for the center stone. What about a rose gold cup under the stone to amp up the color? I find that faint pink stones tend to blend into skin colors.

 

[MJ0911]

I guess my concern with the halo is both that they're delicate (and I'm clumsy!) and also that I don't want something too clingy. I quote like the way peach sapphires can blend into the skin a bit and that they have more of a glow than a sparkle, and also for my work anything super-blingy is not appropriate. Once I finalise on a stone (whole other saga!) I might ask my jeweler for his advice. But so long as the general reaction isn't "gross, you could never put a coloured stone in that setting" then I feel happy and can continue on muddling through (and being the most difficult client my jeweler has ever had!)
