My first stone from Gene. A lovely glowy pink spinel in a standard Stuller mount. Took me a year to set it as I was hoping the mount would go on sale - and it did!!
That’s gorgeous! And talk about perseverance…waiting a full year for a potential sale. Clearly, your patience paid off. :kiss2:

I just received my lab pink sapphire ring from David Klass. David did a beautiful job as always of remaking the entire ring to fit my sapphire and I also wanted a thicker band. The setting was bought preloved from Jaq. They are lab diamonds. I love the setting, love having a gorgeous five stone, The sapphire is from Gene. I have to say David complimented the sapphire and said his setter did too! Very happy with my new ring! 6322F608-F840-4E81-BAE6-E5513B4954AC.jpeg
Damn, this is stunning! :kiss2: The setting is gorgeous and it works perfectly with your center.

Same ring without band in different lighting.

I found this photo I took before it was set - it really IS this pretty.
Large Pad sapphire with side lab diamonds. pad2.jpg

Omg I LOVE the side diamonds! Oval centre stones in 3-stones are really my weakness!
I love the centre Padparadscha—which material is it from Gene? This is the shade of Padparadscha I wish I had gotten the first time... I must try again! It's beautiful!

Mine is the "Padparadscha Sapphire Light Tone" - Pulled Czochralski Process. If you find it on his website, the photo to the right looks just like mine (or could be mine because I special ordered this stone).

Can I get the proportions on this please?? I’ve been thinking of resetting my Radiant with slightly smaller traps and bullets.

Hi @ean Of course! The measurements are as follows:

Sapphire - 9.17x6.27
The next measurement is- 5.30x3.10x3.70 He has this labeled as Baguette, I think he meant the traps:)
Baguette- 4.80x3.00

Hope this helps!

1.215ct chrome tourmaline (6.9mm) in 18k yellow gold. The ring is made by David Klass based on a design by Julia Kay Taylor for liliangrae. I have admired the design for many years.

I just remembered that Gene cut my Umba garnet. I bought it on Loupe Troop from a Pricescoper who commissioned it and even had pictures of the rough but she never set it. I put it in a used setting that had to be adjusted to fit the stone, so it isn't all that pretty. I should reset it into a pendant but just haven't gone to the trouble yet. It's 10mm and 5.64ct untreated. _29632.jpg _29780.jpg garnet04.jpg

If you are looking for something special, he will try to find it for you.

Thanks. I have tried to email him twice to commission a piece, but haven't had a response. What is the best way to get in touch with Gene?

I would try emailing again either through his contact page or directly in your email. I messaged him recently asking for some info on an old stone and he replied the next day.

My Meralani Mint Garnet cut by Gene. The setting was made by CaiMao Jewelry based on a design I found on the RealReal.
