The bosses are in the diamond business . I had shown them the photo a month ago and they were making it behind my back. I found out through a “mole” and the only change I could make without them knowing i knew was 15” length. The mole originally said it was going to be 14 carats with 1.5 center heart and I was panicked I wanted a petit everyday piece not a once a year wedding piece. I am so happy with the outcome . It is still big so may have to be a date night not every day .

Thanks! Husband and I love the bold, clean lines of the Art Deco period, so we are looking for that time period for inspiration. If you have any suggestions or pics saved feel free to share them!

@Alexiszoe beautiful! Looks like you did very well in your hunt.

I do too and that is why I chose a simple 3 stone setting for mine

 

[Alexiszoe]

Thanks @MMtwo ! honestly I was close to giving up and going for a chunky OMC if this didn't work out. Finding a well cut EC without a vendor is hard work.

@cushioncutnut , I love your ring! Initially I was thinking traps or Cadillacs. Then I saw Queen Camilla's Art Deco ring with baguettes at the side. I like that it looks like there's steps radiating down from the center.

Fun fact: About 16 years ago, the jeweler I worked with (first marriage) wore a similar style. EC with baguettes going down the sides. At the time I was thinking "it's so old!" Well, 16 years later and now I think it's elegant and classic!

I must have an old soul 16 years ago.... I have always loved that style. I never get tired of looking at my old Sotherby's Jewelry Auction catalogs. So many classic style jewels mixed with Jewelry Art!

Absolutely beautiful! This is the first time I'm drawn to a radiant. The diamond is so gorgeous and love the halo setting (the hidden stones are so neat)! Enjoy!!

Oh how gorgeous on your equally gorgeous hand!

@sassy_pants love the inset birthstones inside the band - the whole ring is gorgeous.

@JV36912 @cushioncutnut @HGar Thank you all for your kind words! I really love how the ring turned out! And it was a bit of a journey to get to the final ring.

A little backstory…I surprised myself in choosing a radiant cut! My husband gave me the ring upgrade as a birthday gift. First, we looked at some rings in person to get an idea of what I wanted. My current ring is the bezel-set MRB in my avatar (also by DK). I knew I definitely wanted something totally different, since I still love the original ring and wanted to keep it in the rotation! First I thought I wanted an oval, but after purchasing a 4.2ct oval, I felt like that wasn’t it. So back it went! During our shopping process, I had tried on a setting with half-moon side stones. The salesperson had mentioned that it was a nice setting to keep the ring from spinning too much, especially since I was going for a center stone over 3cts. This is where I first started thinking a radiant would look awesome in that setting. So I found my radiant and contacted David Klass to start working on the half moon side stone ring. After several weeks, I received that ring. It was exactly what I thought I wanted, exactly what I requested, and a truly well-made beautiful piece of jewelry. But I didn’t like it on my hand….the HORROR! I really love the cut-corner shape of the elongated radiant, and the 3-stone ring made it difficult to see that shape. The 3 stones morphed together for some really big sparkle, but I just didn’t LOVE it.

David was so kind and so patient and worked with me through many more CADs and different directions until we landed on this ring. And I absolutely LOVE it!

The surprise birthstones inside the shank were a last-minute addition, but are now my favorite part. The ring itself is meant as a symbol of my marriage, but it felt like a solo project since it was a long road and my husband wasn‘t as involved in picking out the stone or going through the design details and back-and-forth. The birthstones for us and our two children inside the shank bring the family and relationship symbolism back to the ring. Or that’s how I think of it anyway!

Can I PM you?

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Can I PM you?

No, we don't have that function unfortunately. Could you just give a ballpark on the stone? It doesn't have to be exact, I'm just getting the feel between vendors.

 

[cushioncutnut]

It sure
