and what is mine is mine :bigsmile: So we were poorer when we were married 15 years ago. We did not have an engagement ring and had no clue about jewelry. We bought cheap but irreplaceable matching wedding bands and got hitch. After a lot of abuse and a little weight gain ( a lot!) through out the years the bands were no longer worn and kept in a safe for the last 10years.........in the mean time, finances got better, found Pricescope, we finally bought an engagement ring and a few rings, and resets later I finally meet David Klass. He custom made my latest e-ring setting. His customer service, patience and honesty made me take a chance on having our wedding bands remade revamp. Since it was thin 20k bands it was warp and bent. We decided to take both bands and turn it into one band for me. I was very picky because I wanted it to be perfect. To me this band was more important than the ering. David understood that and was very patient with my tweaking and nitpicking . The band is not wide enough, too wide, flowers too small, stones too dark...etc!! The man is a saint!! We had to re do a couple of times because I wanted to go with sapphires to incorporate hubby's favorite stone but David could not fine the right color blue so we decided to go with rubys since it is July gemstone for our anniversary.David actually sent out the sapphire band so I can see it in person to decide what I thought of it. It was ok but not perfect so DK told me to send it back and we will redo till we get it perfect. DK is sooo amazing. So enough with all the mushy stuff and on with the goods. I am attaching photos of how the bands look before DK and after. Also photos of the gorgeous 3 stone ring that DK custom made for me.

This ring is fantastic!!! Can you clarify a bit more? You took 2 rings with a lot of yellow gold and some white gold and made a band of white gold and rubies? What about the yellow gold?

WOW, I love your new ruby band (& your 3 stone ring too)!! I love flowers and am partial to rubies as well (it's my son's birth stone) -- this ring is the perfect combination of both!! :love: :love: David Klass truly does amazing work... Congratulations on 15 years! Enjoy! :))

Tekate, bbziggy, Calliecake, CRYSTAL24K, lulu, derbygal Thanks!! I am so happy with how the rings turned out especially the ruby band. I am sooo grateful to David for his patience and amazing workmanship. It was an amazing experience for me, I was never worried, stress or frustrated..... he answered all my concerns promptly and made all the tweaking that we thought needed to be done. Hubby and I were very impressed by his work and customer service. I am already missing his update emails :lol:

Sundial, Acinom and staci76 thank you. David is a master at his work but most importantly, he wants to make sure that you are happy with the end product.

Good question :wavey: !! The bands were 20k yellow and white gold. He melted both the bands and added whatever metal he needed to turn it into white gold. It is now 18k white gold. And he of course added the rubies and diamonds.

Even without the backstory, I absolutely love your new band - and knowing that it's made from your original wedding bands, and that you love the end result, makes it even better! :love:

Your rings are so lovely. They are quite different and yet I love them both. Tell us what you ended up doing about hubby's ring? Did he get a new one? :praise:

We bought hubby a plain 20k white gold ring a few years back after he gained a few pounds... you know, from being blissfully married!! ;))

So beautiful, turned out very well indeed!!! Congrats and more pics always appreciated :appl:

I'm starting to plot for an eternity band. Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the rubies on the band? Those look just to me (I don't like them too small).

Thank you!

I actually have no idea. Hahaha... I am no help!! DK did several wax mods for me and showed me the different widths. Then he sent me the first band with sapphires. It was perfect size but the flowers were too small for my blind eyes to appreciate so when we re did it with rubies, he made the flowers bigger. The band is 3mm wide. May is super crazy for me but when the kids get out of school and things settle down, I'll post more photos even the ones with sapphires ;))
