Gorgeous ring. It looks so Victorian inspired.

 

[CSpan]

Adoring the setting and the presence. I am not usually into orange but woowee, that is the perfect shade

 

[foxinsox]

Aaaah this is so beautiful. You have a fantastic eye for potential in the gaudiest and most improbable of settings.

I have set myself a personal goal of achieving a rainbow gem collection. One that had always eluded me was orange. Orange is my favorite color but I find it quite boring in gemstones. The only way to make it interesting was SIZE !
I came across an extremely large imperial topaz on eBay. Large and incredibly windowed. I had it recut and lost more than half her size. This was not ideal. But you can’t put that toothpaste back in the tube.
Also on eBay, I found this gaudy baby
I knew the diamonds would be nice and the gold worth scrapping so I bought her despite being less than attractive. *cough hideous*
I’ve been told I have the imagination for this type of thing lol

I sent my new stone to dk with a very specific design idea in mind. I it took very few cad modifications to get the right look. I was very pleased with that as I can be very picky and it can take half a dozen or more
I’ll post the original and the approved :


The shank was particularly important to me. It seems rather simple but I wanted a tri wire shank thank that did not have that traditional “bar” where the shank split off. I found those overdone and looked uncomfortable. My idea for the crossing over design was executed perfectly as always. I also wanted the spider webs because I have found I like my rings to be quirky.
I did the ring in 14k white gold because my sapphire ring is so GD heavy- I wanted this to be light and wearable and that was achieved 1000%
I am thrilled with the outcome though it is a tad hard to photograph. The color is a nice sherbet orange and due to her color and spooky nature I have named her Jack (the pumpkin king )

Absolutely stunning! and yes you have an eye for the good diamonds in the bad rings! well done! love the quirky and personal touches

Will you tease us with the flavor of purple?

light and airy, a spring time dream
dark and stormy like a drink theme?

I actually liked the first ring but your vision paid off! This is spectacular!!

 

[fiona00004]

Another amazing addition to your collection! You have impeccable taste, Niel!!

 

[lizzydm26]

Gorgeous! You have great taste and design imagination. I will forever be jealous that I didn't buy that cognac diamond halo before you! Can't wait to see the rainbow when you have it completed!

Stunning.

 

[Niel]

I have a hard time photographing them all at once - you know- what’s the best lighting for one stone isn’t the best lighting for another lol

 

[jbkhere]

OMG! I can’t find words - this is jaw dropping gorgeous!!!

 

[indigoblue]

I sorta liked the original too. ha! But the new stone and setting are gorgeous. It's more like what I wanted for my blue sapphire roval which has diamonds so tiny you can't see the sparkle. Do you have before/after pictures of the stone?

 

[lorrissey]

This is gorgeous!!!

 

[AnastasiaBeaverhausen]

They're all so beautiful! I can't wait til I have my own "rainbow" collection!

Ooookh that’s a nice shot! What a lovely collection Niel. What’s next?
Edit - do you have a favourite?
