Ritani Make-Over/Keeping It All in the Family

[MarionC]

Keeping it all in the family
Before: my beautiful WF ACA. Now living with a great PSer!


After: The same Ritani halo, now milgrained and set with a champagne transitional from another great PSer!

Below it is a vintage band that had been unplated 18k that didn't match anything I have. I put it up for sale on LT. No bites, so I had it replated when the Ritani was being worked on. Now it's a keeper : )

Your transitional diamond looks right at home in your old setting! Looks like it was meant to be!

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Love the champagne transitional in the Ritani halo. Jimmianne, you have quite the enviable collection now.

I also love that all of this was kept within the PS family. Woohoo!

With the ACA, your setting was a flower. With this champagne diamond, it's like sunshine. I love both the before and after

I agree, your setting was just perfect for your old stone and is also gorgeously perfect with your current stone. You have a great eye for picking vibrant stones! I love the stackers that you have with it also!

Beautiful. Wearing it with the yellow gold band is a perfect decision!

I know! and selling the ACA put funds in the kitty for the OEC, but I got to keep and enjoy the setting. All Good... the buyer got her ACA, Fortekitty made her sale and I'm happy too. around and around!

Arkieb - we should have a flower thread if there isn't one. I'll check and perhaps we can start one in the bling forum. This was a day meant for bling -grey and rainy, with intermittent sparkles of diamonds : )

Thank you, Huldak. The idea of mixing metals is new to me. Glad I hadn't sold any yellow gold yet. Never thought there would be a reason to keep it until this week!

Beautiful combination! I love the champaign and the milgrain

I really think it is perfect now with the milgain and warm tranny!!! Seriously one of the best make-overs I have seen!

Jimmianne, I adore how this turned out, the stone is perfect in the setting, and the milgrain looks wonderful - love the contrast of the stone and setting, really really pretty!

 

[PattyCo]

Wow! Your new diamond looks so nice in your setting. And it's amazing what a big difference a little milgrain makes on a jewelry. It's wonderful that so many PSer's have been "blessed", so to speak, by this one ring.

Your champagne diamond looks fabulous in its setting! I love it paired with the yellow gold diamond band. Stunning!
