Nope, I am not sure if I will set it yet.
I came across this custom cut diamond set, which is probably $$$, but really hits that hall of mirrors look in a unique way!
lol I think you can toggle at the bottom to make them full screen. And the only reason it's decently sized here is because it's in an OP. When I embed them in a reply... nope. So annoying!
This one is next I decided, poll results be damned!! It's no secret I went (and continue to go) gaga over this ring, which was originally commissioned by @endless_summer:
I couldn't quite find a 5ct in my desired shade, lol, but I'd still love to do a 5-stone design. I want to do something a little different though, as I hate straight copycatting, even if the stone shapes are distinct and this is a fairly common design.
Hello friends,
I may have mentioned I was "upgrading" my mint, only because the other is small (2ct). I loved the color and clarity though. Inken and I were discussing how surprisingly difficult it is to get this shade right. I see a lot of those drab, celery colors out there. And some folks love them! But I really prefer a more saturated pastel, like with padparadscha. Anyway, I returned a couple as of late, but finally found "the one." An elongated emerald would not have been my first choice, lol, but sometimes when every other box is ticked, you compromise. Here he is... 4.5ct and fresh from Germany. If you see a mark on the stone in the video, it was hair or lint. The stone is loupe clean.
I have seen the finger in question, and she is perfectly lovely! We're all so hard on ourselves.I still love the idea of an east-west, because I feel like these elongated cuts tend to look brighter when the looooong facets are horizontal.
Now I'm really looking forward to your CJ inspired ruby ring!!
I've been missing a bit on here lately; so I can't believe this went under my radar,
but my word that's a beautiful ring. That's such a lovely and open Celadon shade.
I knew I wanted a milgrain border around the diamonds, and it was bothering me that the center stone didn't have a matching element (I didn't want it bezeled). I felt traditional claw prongs wouldn't be impactful enough for the milgrain detail, so I went looking for inspiration. When I saw this ring, I knew split claws were the answer! Thank you!!
