It's a lovely setting - I was so struck by how golden it looks in your avatar and how white in the picture with your gorgeous bracelet!My RHR is the ring in my avatar, it is 1.7cts and is 7.7mmx7.53mm or something like that. I can't remember exactly what the cert saysbut those numbers are really close. The setting that David made for it makes it look 100% round though. It's amazing how a setting can make these oec's look so proportional.
Thank you
a PS friend actually designed it with David Klass, and then when she upgraded, I was lucky enough to take it off her hands. She took the avatar pic, it's such a good shot and I agree it does look golden. It's platinum though IRL so is really white
Thanks for the input everyone!!!....to answer your questions lissyflo......I think the slightly thicker girdle might protect it a tiny bit more, but the gold is pretty solid even though the current bezel is so thin so I think it is pretty safe. I do think I prefer the slightly thicker gold still and these opinions are helping me. I'll take a video of the bangle and the opening on the bottom so you can see how it comes on and off and how easy/hard it is to take on and off. There is some give in the ends and I have noticed in my thicker bangles (that I don't own any longer) that they don't "give" as much and are not as flexible. This one is really comfortable and I think it may have to do with it being a tad thinner
I chose 14k for the bangle bc I have kids and do tons of dishes and I just felt I needed harder metal... and given that I whack it on granite counters and dishes daily, I'm glad I did lol.
Thanks so much Apacherose! I adore it and wear it daily. It's so fun to have a big glowy diamond in yellow gold on my wrist, the gold is so lux in satin finish but yet somehow the satin finish and low profile and fine bezel also makes it to where it goes with everything I wear and never looks too dressy or out of place even if I am only wearing white gold or platinum elsewhere. David did a great job. This is also part of the reason why I want yg bezel earrings...because this would look amazing with some other yg items and I adore the look of rich yellow gold, 18k is my fave , but the 14k with this 22k wash is gorgeous too and another great but very similar look. I have CvB's gorgeous astrid necklace with a 6mm stone in it and I need some yg bezel earrings and I'll be set
Thanks! I decided to keep it as is. The more delicate look really grew on me and it makes it very comfortable and wearable for everyday. I literally wear it daily and adore it.
Thanks so much MGR! It's amazing how the low profile and dainty bangle makes the large diamond seem much more subdued. I thought it would seem huge and overly blingy, but it really doesn't.
Hi goldenfire, does your bangle go all the way around? Or is there an enclosure/chain? Or open cuff?
hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more info! If you show me what your other bangle looks like, I can try to try on a similar one with this one to give you an idea of what they look like together etc..Oh PS I love how this fits so well and is so comfortable
Yes the finish is 22k satin finish, over 14k. The satin finish makes it really neutral looking almost and it matches anything. I wear it even when I wear no other yg pieces, and ofcourse I wear it whenever I DO wear yg lol. It goes with everything. . I chose 14k bc I wanted the metal to be as hard and durable as possible, otherwise I'd probably snap it in half. Also I think at the time I made it, I didn't have funds for 18k which was significantly more, so this just worked for both durability and price point. .......Thank you so much for video, that was very helpful. It does look very comfortable and it looks brand new! I think if I stack with my Altas, the Atlas will definitely slide over it, not sure if I want that. Might just have to make it exact same size. I love the finish of your bangle, is it satin?
Oh my pear is just over 1 carat.
Yeah I've noticed that. I used to browse her website all the time to look at the bangles. I actually still sometimes check in hopes that there are some new ones, but it's been a long time since I've seen anything new. Both Grace and DK do a great job on the bangles. I have had bangles from both
I love this bracelet design, and am looking forward to see the finished piece.
DK
I actually kept everything the same...the size and proportions grew on me
I scrolled too fast and missed it, DOH!Finished piece pics are on this page a little farther up/back
Here is a video in case you don't want to scroll:
Thank you! DK actually had me cut a string that was the exact size of my wrist (I used dental floss that wasn't stretchy) and then mailed it and he nailed the size. although I had to slightly alter the shape and make it more oval after I got it but the size of the stems was perfect and molded to my wrist to where it is like a second skin now.
