Pics of my new WG I.D. Jewelry wedding set

[merilenda]

So gorgeous - I just love your set!!!

 

[gemgirl]

Beautiful!!!! I've been eying erings from IDJewelry for a while now and seeing yours is so nice! I also love the diamond band! It looks like an eternity, did you order it exactly to that size to achieve that look or is it a stocked piece? Also, do either the e-ring or diamond band spin? I have spinning problems w/my rings and that's part of my reason for wanting an eternity. Best wishes on your surgery I hope that it goes well and you are healing quickly.

Enjoy your beautiful sparklies!!!

The e-ring mounting was gotten through I.D. Jewelry, but the mounting was made by Unique Settings of New York. I.D. Jewelry can get any-thing from any-one and at a much better price!

Yes, I did order my diamond band exactly that size. I know I have a seven stone made of ten point diamonds and I know what the total mm expanse of that is from finger to finger, and I just wanted a scootch more. So I calculated how many mm nine stones at what carat weight would be, figuring there's approx. 1/2 mm between stones for spacing and what I got was nine/eight pointers. I.D. wanted to make me eleven eight pointers but I knew I would feel the pinch of those prongs on the ends. So we went with my plan and it worked out perfectly. I have finger coverage, from finger to finger. No, it's not a stocked piece. It was made by their goldsmith to order. They will make any number of diamonds that someone wants, in any carat weight- custom. You just have to be willing to wait two or three weeks for the goldsmith to make your casting and to cast the piece.

I have my platinum eternity already and having one is enough for me. I prefer to be able to size my rings. In fact I wore my eternity with my new e-ring today, since my little nine stone is on it's way to Manhattan for a tweek! Yes, my e-ring spins, but the nine stone doesn't, but I've lost a considerable amount of weight in the last few months from having an ostomy, so I'm not typical.. If that problem remained, I'd just have GOG put some sizing beads inside the band for me. They're going to do for me on my WF custom five stone since that ring has always spun.

Thank you for the well wishes.

Your new set is lovely gemgirl! As is the band - they look fabulous together, all three in a row


Hope things are going okay!

Thank you sweetheart. Everything is OK. I'm hanging in waiting. Just nine days to go. Yay! Finally! Keep a good thought for me .

gemgirl,

Your set is beautiful. It looks so beautiful on you. I especially love the photo of all three together. I too love ID jewelry. They did
an eternity band for me last December and a few other projects. Your diamond is gorgeous! Wishing you sucess and a speedy recovery
from your surgery. Oh....the high polish is also beautiful........

 

[ZestfullyBling]

Beautiful wedding set! Looks L vely on your hand!!!

 

[momofive]

Beautiful. Wear them in GOOD health

 

[lbbaber]

Beautiful! Another IDJ success!!

Good luck with your surgery.

What are "end caps?"

I'm trying to find the photo I sent them of the exact ring I wanted, so you could see what I mean by "end caps". I *hate* the feeling of pinchy prongs between my fingers. OK, I found it. Look at the ends. The last diamond transitions right into the gold instead of having pinchy prongs sticking out. It's an easy fix Luann tells me. They just add gold and bring the sides up to the top of the last prongs.

Their goldsmith really does spectacular finish work. You can see my reflection in those rings as I took the picture. I was wearing a pink top!

While my new nine stone is in New York City having a little tweek done to it's design, I've been wearing my diamond platinum full eternity band. It's 1.28 cts. (.06 pts. ea.) and I'm wondering why I never made myself a solitaire sooner! They're so darned versatile. I can literally wear any of my diamond bands with it (except maybe my seven stone because those diamonds hit the e-ring in the wrong place and it would wear a groove into the basket). I'm loving the idea of a solitaire !

And in case anyone loves Leon basic basket design ring or B&L's Grace setting which is also pricey, this mounting, although heavier, is the very same idea. The four prong basket design is something it took me no time at all to get used to.

 

[rubybeth]

Lovely new set, esp. with all the band options you have! Leon's basket solitaire is one of my favorites, along with the Cartier 1895. I'll never have either of those, but I really love this setting. Do you know which Unique setting code it is? I've trolled their site many times and they have 4 different solitaires like this that I like.

ETA: Could you give a rough idea of the price for the setting?

Best of luck on your surgery!

 

[zoebartlett]

BEAUTIFUL, gemgirl! I love them all!

The engraved band is gorgeous, and I totally want one now. Is it from IDJ too?

No, the engraved band is from Aurell. They don't stock them, they make them to order. I thought that was cool!

Thanks for the link! Sorry if I missed you mentioning it before.

ETA: It's kind of hard to tell from their website (the pics show up a little grainy on my monitor), but your ring is the "4401-es-1 3 mm," right? It's gorgeous!

No, I don't have the style name or number of Unique's. I had sent Luann a photo I had saved. But if you call or email Luann at I.D. Jewelry, she can tell you. Yekutiel is very reasonable with his prices. I paid a good bit under $400.- for my setting, and a silly nominal setting charge to have the stone set.

 

[Dreamer_D]

It looks so great! Do you love the setting?

I honestly didn't think I'd like it this much but I REALLY like it! What a value for the money and what a well made setting! I'm also thoroughly enjoying wearing it with all of my different wedding bands, both diamond and metal. Today I wore it with my eternity and a new highly polished 3mm comfort fit wedding band. It was a different look, but stacked, I liked it!

I forgot to mention, Luann had them taper my setting before setting the diamond. I don't like that. I like the width of yours better.

How are you feeling these days? I love your new set, it looks great on you

I had seen an engraved band exactly like that before on ebay, but I didn't save it, wonder if its the same seller? hmmm. Wonderful set GG!

 

[Christina...]

You have a beauiful set! Congrats!!

 

[gemgirl]

You have a beauiful set! Congrats!!

And it's getting bigger! I just bought another wedding band. A plain polished one this time. I like it in combination with the e-ring and eternity band. I have to take some pics. Actually when my nine stone comes home, I should take a pic with all the bands I alternate with the new e-ring.

I'm doing OK D&T. A little anxious about this week, but OK. Thanks for asking. I'm going to be absolutely thrilled when this next surgery is over!

Yes, that's the same guy. I found him on eBay and then ordered from him directly because that "make an offer, to buy it now" thing in his particular case is not an honest situation. He gets very upset if someone offers him anything less that what he's asking because all of the rings are handmade for the person who orders them. So I thought it best just to go the website route. I think his eBay name is "smevlt".

 

[gemgirl]

Just an update...... I said I was going to send my new nine stone back to Luann while I was having my last surgery, so they could get rid of those end prongs and give me a smooth finish to the ring. (They didn't exactly follow the photo I sent them of what I wanted). In any case, their goldsmith does some amazing work. He added white gold to the ends of my ring and you can't even tell that anything has been done to do. It looks like it was cast this way. I'm VERY happy now, as I can't feel anything at all between my fingers (just as I wanted).

First, what it looked like before the facelift. I didn't like that it fanned out on the sides so much. It looked a little weird to me.

 

[gemgirl]

And this is how it looks now...... Very comfy on. It looks the same from the top down.

How in the world did I manage to miss this thread?! Gorgeous solitaire and bands gemgirl, I love them all and you'll have so much fun mixing and matching! And I love how the diamond band has been modified, it will be a dream to wear now - pointy prongs poking into my fingers really bother me too! Congrats on all your beautiful new pieces!

 

[centralsquare]

Beautiful. Glad you're finally happy with the ring!

Thank you junebug and it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's bothered by prongs between the fingers. That pinch literally drives me nuts and by the end of the day I usually have a nice red irritated mark on my neighboring finger. I guess I'm sensitive.

 

[tyty333]

That does look more comfortable! Glad it was easy for them to fix!

 

[Sundial]

Gemgirl I hope your recovery is going well. I love all your new rings! The solitaire is such a clean classic look and it pairs so well with your different bands. That engraved band is exquisite and I really like what you had them do to finish off the ends of your nine-stone band.

 

[Laila619]

Gemgirl, your new set is stunning!!! I love it!

And what a bargain with the setting--I believe that same Unique Settings design is over $700 on another vendor's website. ID Jewelry sure is great! Enjoy!

 

[asymons412]

I am so in love with your set! It looks so elegant!

 

[Porridge]

The perfect, classy set! Congratulations!
