Thanks Wink and Richard

[doodlebug]

I would like to send out a big thank you to Wink and Richard for a job well done! My extreme makeover began last Fall with a big bellied yellow sapphire along with a few other loose stones purchased at a yard sale. I was a little hesitant to purchase them but the Lady seemed honest, sincere and also loved colored stones. I figured what the heck, I may be out a couple hundred dollars or possibly hit the jackpot! Turns out everything I purchased were quality gemstones. I first chose a pave setting with 18kt white gold accented by 22kt gold and yellow diamonds. Once it was set it looked O.K. but lacked that "WOW" factor. Being a longtime lurker, I sent the ring off to Wink and Richard to work their "MAGIC". The stone started out at 8.04cts and after the recut 6.74cts and just love it! It still has some size, with a soft lemony color. A true one of a kind treasure!

That is one of the most beautiful rings I have ever seen.

I have always loved yellow & orange sapphires, as I love yellow dimaonds (but who can afford ???

) You will no doubt be stopped by strangers when wearing that! What delicious yellow hues and I love the design you chose.

You really created an exceptional piece! What a great find!

OMG, that is one of the most beautiful settings I have seen. I love the combination of yellow and white together (most of my jewelry is 2-tone). Can you tell us more about the setting? Is it custom and who is the designer? A hand pic would be fantastic.

Very Very NICE!

Well done to all involved, its often hard to use such a large stone without making the ring look out of balance.This ring looks perfect.
