I think this is my week of bling :-o :naughty: :appl: I hope everyone enjoys my new projects because I'm cut off for the next several years according to my DH. :bigsmile:

Several months ago on a whim I purchased this 2.08ct OEC O/P I1 clarity from JbEG. Honestly the price was insanely low (mostly due to the semi obvious inclusion on the diamond), but it just didn't bother me. Since this will be a RHR I went for the color and size vs clarity. The inclusion tends to blend into the color of the dimaond at about 6-8 inches and you can't see it at all.

After seeing TGAL and Yenny's lovely 3 stones I really really wanted to do something similar. However, nothing was coming together and I realized I needed to change directions. I really loved Yssie's 3 and 5 stone ring(s) so with her blessing I started to approach different vendors. I ended up going with Steven Kirsch who was great to work with. This project sort of fell together in the middle of the holiday rush so it was a little later then I anticpiated being finished (fine with me, I know things get crazy at holiday time). Overall I really liked working with Steven. He was very good at editing my ideas and understood my SB speak. He was busy but took my 30+ emails and answered them patiently. He also came WAY under budget compared to other PS vendors (sometimes it was at almost 1/2 the price of others so make sure you SHOP AROUND while getting quotes!)

JbEG was of course WONDERFUL to work with and made everything extremely easy with purchasing the OEC. I tried to have them source matching side stones, but it was Adam at OWD who ended up finding them for me. He even walked them down to Steven's office to make sure it was a good match. I will also add that Adam's pricing was well under what other vendors quoted me.

So the stats:
Size 6.25
18K White Gold SK Luncinda/ Trellis style setting
Center stone is 2.08ct OEC O-P I1(certed)
Side stones are .54ctw OEC O-P VS (uncerted)

And for reference here is my inital planning thread: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/would-a-3-stone-ring-look-crazy-in-the-o-p-range.180649/page-2']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/would-a-3-stone-ring-look-crazy-in-the-o-p-range.180649/page-2[/URL]

I should also add that there will be some mili-graining added in but it wasn't when the pictures were taken. So my RL shots will be a bit different.

Hand shots coming soon :naughty:

Blingapalooza Sarah!! Wow, it is just gorgeous! I can't wait to see handshots! Is the milgrain going on the shank? If not, where will it be? And, the most important question....when will you have this beauty on your hot little hand???

Oh Yenny you are making me :oops: ! Please tell me you are bringing your 3 stone to LV and I wear it for a few minutes?!?!?!?! Pretty pretty please!

It is going to get here on Monday or Tuesday I think. Steven could have sent it over the weekend but I'm in and out of the house all day with the kids so putting it off till next week is just easier for me. I think when it gets here I will do a large thread with lots of pictures comparing my 3 rings- a few people asked for it in my Venice reveal. I'm hoping the weather cooperates with me this time!

Thanks you Mrs. W! I have to agree since seeing all the trellis rings on PS I have really had a soft spot for them!

Cachette - Thank you too! I think the mili-graining will make the ring look a bit more antique for me. I think right now with a straight trellis it is a little too modern for my taste, but still beautiful!

Thanks Thing2 and Audilover- I'm really happy with how it turned out. I never thought I would EVER join the 3 stone club but PS really chewed me up and spit me out on this one!

Athena- BAAABABHHHHHBABHHH I love your response! It made me LOL. I'm hoping it is a positive holy shit! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Beautiful, Sarah :love: so, so beautiful!!

The trellis style works with the old stones so well. I know you had some concerns about mixing the styles, I hope those pics make you feel better about your choice! I definitely think the milgrain will add quite a bit of antiquey character. I really like the cathedral-esque shank attachment, too, and the way the centerstone prongs meld into the underside of the shank shoulder...

The metalwork looks very nice to me, in those pics - the various elements are all smooth and polished, including insides and undersides, and the joins are nice and clean :sun: Can I ask what WG alloy SK used? It's hard to tell the colour from those pics - it actually looks a tiny bit pinkish on my monitor!

Your ring is phenomenal! It really is a work of art Sarahbear ... the trellis design, the proportions of the stones, EVERYTHING came together so perfectly. I'm like everyone else and can't wait to see RL shots!

You really have been busy, haven't you? Another stunner! The setting makes it all come together so perfectly with its graceful but delicate lines and swoops. So pretty!

Ohhhhhh myyyyyyy goooodnessss!!!! It's soooo gorgeous!!!!! And with the miligraining, it's gonna be amazzzzzzzing!!!! I can't wait to see it on your finger!!!

Did I tell you how jealous I am of all your new bling? The only thing that makes me feel better is that your DH says you can't get any more bling for the next couple of years :) hahaha jk! I love living vicariously through you!

I really love this ring!!! I think the warmth of the diamonds works so well in a three stone. I adore the proportions of the center and sides. Believe it or not, as incredible as Venice is, this is the one I'd try to sneak off with if I were able to make it to the Vegas GTG. It is that stunning.

It looks like rose gold to me. Is that the metal used? And where will the milgrain be? I can't wait for handshots!! Congrats on another beauty!

Re: Steven Kirsch +JbEG+ OWD+Yssie= 2.62ctw OEC 3 Stone Good

Yssie, I tried looking through my email but I can't seem to find the specifics. I'll have to email Steven for the info anyhow for insurance purposes so when I get it I will post or send to you. He knows I wanted something in white metal but not stark white so it would set off nicely with the O/P color. In the end he told me to trust him and I did. I like the metal color very much in the pictures so I"m hoping it has that same hue in RL.

Thank you again on giving me "your blessing" on this ring design! ;-)

Athena! Thanks for clarifying :lol: It's good to know I'm not the only person that can drop a few 4 letter words when I see something I love :razz: :lol:

Thanks Enerchi! I will make sure to take many many many photos when the 3 stone comes in. I'm almost sorry I told Steven to wait to Monday to send it. But I don't want to be stuck at home all saturday with 2 toddlers inside if I can help it! And my OEC has nothing on your lovely Q/R OEC. I just love the cut of yours. Steven did a great job of hiding the wonky cut (not perfectly round) with this design.

Panadabee- the Mili-graining will be on the baskets of the side diamonds. After several emails back and forth with Steven we canceled out the idea of doing mili-graining on the shank. If I ever do another 3 stone ring, similar to TGAL or Yenny, then that is where I will pull out all the stops for antique-ing it.

Mom2boys- I'll let you know. To be honest I haven't worn Venice around much lately because she is just slightly too small to wear comfortably on my RHR. I still need to figure that out.

RB- Thank you so much! I have to say that truly this is the ring I'm the most looking forward too. Perhaps because it has been on going for months etc. The miligrain will be on the baskets below the side diamonds. The metal is a mix but I can't remember of what. I'll come back with more info and some hand shots! I'm so glad others love this ring. I was really second guessing many decisions about it.

DS-I know right!! It was not supposed to work out this way at all, but sometimes you just have to jump when the timing is right. Trust me, when I wrote that all major bling buying is over with for the next 2-4 years. DH was being very good about how everything sort of happened at once.

YT thanks for the compliments! I have a feeling after being on PS for a few years your collection will grow too. This place is addicting and draining for most bank accounts. And I have lived vicariously through many PSers the last few years. Everytime someone posts a pear (hello lemmony I luvre your ring!!! :love: ) or an emerald cut (kelpie be still my heart :love: ) a piece of me goes to it's owner :lol: BTW don't you have something in the works now too?
