The Final Reveal: My Steven Kirsch Pave Masterpiece

[SparklyOEC]

mom2boys - I wish I had a better pic for you comparing this and the AVC. I don't have my AVC on me as I am not home but I found this picture on my computer. I think it is the placement of the rings but the OEC is actually a lot bigger than the other rings in real life.

I so want to come play in your jewelery box (shoe?)!!

 

[Rosebloom]

Your exquisite taste, willingness to take risks and quest for perfection add up to an absolutely divine ring. It's beyond the beyond!

 

[Andelain]

Wow!!

 

[lknvrb4]

Absolutely stunning, I love everything about your ring.

Charmy, your ring is exquisite. Adam's bench did an amazing job with the rehab and Steven made a gorgeous setting for your stunning diamond. Beautiful in every way. Perfect.

Thank you for sharing your journey. A memorable trip indeed that led to the ring of your dreams. Wear in much health and blingy happiness.

Beyond the beyond is right! You have wonderful taste, just classic high end beauty. Like you could stack your things up in a photo shoot featuring "The Charmy Poo collection", available now at a retailer near you. I love how you dove in and trusted the pro and took a risk getting the stone-so great how it all turned out! And btw, was there ever a side-by-side of the stone before and after? It looks just, just... I am also kind of partial to your split shank cushion...okay a lot partial to it. Your collection is a dream. Enjoy it, as I'm sure you
do

Oh wow! Charmypoo that is stunning!!!!! I love all your rings! Great taste!
Great hands too!

CharmyPoo - Both the diamond and ring are gorgeous! The diamond is just mesmerizing on its own and the setting showcases it perfectly! The detailing in the setting is amazing and Steven certainly outdid himself in this ring. Thanks for sharing the story behind the diamond and the wonderful pictures of your ring (your photography is spectacular!) More hand shots?

I am really into side profiles and profile height right now (trying to figure out my sweet spot for it). Would you mind sharing how many mm your setting is (from top of the diamond table to the bottom of the gallery)? Not sure if that is right way to measure?

Enjoy your new ring!!!!

Wow, Charmypoo, I cannot believe you got so daring with that setting and the recutting. It is AMAZING!! How validated and triumphant (sorry, first word that came to mind) you must feel that you took these risks and they ALL paid off. That setting is one of a kind, and just ... ok, can't find the right word.



I just can't even imagine what that ring would look like in real life. I think I would keel over if I had a chance to see it.... OMG...

This is like...girl heaven.

My digital caliper is out of batteries (and my solar one isn't actually solar - got cheated). However, looking at the ticks this current ring is around 4-5 mm off the finger until the girdle. The reason why I am measuring to the girdle versus the table is that the crown height varies so much depending on the diamond. I like low set diamonds so I have asked to set it as low as possible. This diamond wasn't set super low because we needed a bit more room to add detail it on the side profile.

For comparison, my Leon Mege is probably around 3-4 mm off the finger. My Maytal ring is a bit more than 5 mm off the finger.

I initially thought this setting would be too high for me but it is just right sorta like the three bears in my experience. Hehe.

 

[CharmyPoo]

It's magnificent!! Your oec is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I'm so envious of your collection!!

Right back at you! I am still planning my daily theft attempts on a number (large number) of your goodies and I will start with your OEC!

 

[armywife13]

Your OEC is absolutely stunning!!!!! And the setting? Beautiful! Congratulations on your wonderful new ring!

 

[Begonia]

Whooeee, would you look at that?

Let's start an OEC (or early whatchamacallit) Masterpiece Thread.

You're on deck

 

[Dreamer_D]

Charmy it is divine, I am so glad you love it!

Your collection in that shoe shot makes me feel covetous. I think I need to sell something to get more diamonds! I have no jewelery to sell... all I have left is my dog, my husband, and my kids. But apparently its frowned upon to sell people in order to buy jewels, so I will have to live through you!!

 

[Art Nouveau]

Your ring is simply amazing and TDF gorgeous. You picked the perfect setting to show off the diamond. It is very elegant, and has an Art Deco feel to it, but not busy looking like some of the old mountings. It was interesting to read about how you bought the diamond and the recutting. Enjoy wearing your ring!

Wow! It is simply stunning! What a beautiful and unique piece. Everything about this journey is special. Enjoy!

 

[tweeter8177]

Thanks CharmyPoo! That helps with a perspective on the profile height! I keep going back to look at the pictures because your ring is that stunning!!!!

 

[Scarlett1]

Wow Wow Wow!!!!!!
CharmyPoo your ring is simply INCREDIBLE

 

[lovefordiamonds]

Your ring is beautiful!! I can't even find the words to express how gorgeous i think it is. Congratulations!!
p.s. I loved following your journey!

 

[Maisie]

I keep coming back for another look at this thread. I have saved some of your photos to my computer. I WILL have a beauty like this one day. I keep showing my husband. What's that phrase .... "The squeaky wheel gets the oil"? Well I'm going to keep squeaking until he buys me a ring like yours!

 

[Elysian]

Amazing ring and beautiful photography! I could look at these pics all day!

 

[Indylady]

GORGEOUS!! Your setting is one of my new PS favorites.

 

[msop04]

Wow. Your ring is exceptionally beautiful -- one of my new faves for sure!! Congrats to you!

 

[pregcurious]

This is a piece of art.

 

[gemgirl]

I so completely agree with whoever called this ring a masterpiece because it is. You created a thing of real beauty. I love both the diamond and the setting. I think it's very possible that Steven Kirsch is surpassing Leon Mege in striving for perfection. Congrats honey, it's gorgeous.

 

[rosetta]

Gorgeous!!

 

[Abby12]

Charmypoo, can I see more pics with your band? Pretty please!

 

[CharmyPoo]

It couldn't be a more perfect combination...Absolutely STUNNING!!!

Thanks so much bright ice!

 

[CharmyPoo]

OMG! I'm in love with all of them!!!

I will definitely need your help when I purchase a large cushion and have it set by SK!

I am all up for helping! I love to live through other people's experiences. I can't make all the rings I want!
