A long time coming... (Budget) Paraiba Toumaline ring!

[qubitasaurus]

Wow. The ring is lovely but I actually am most impressed by the design skills. You really did an amazing job envisioning the layout -- and they executed it perfectly.

I bought the paraibas from Cecile Raley Designs on Etsy and had the setting custom made with JewelryHoo2 on ebay. The setting was custom and came with the diamond side stones at $360. Altogether cost just under $1400!

Wow! This is an amazing ring at any price IMO. Nicely done. Gorgeous!

Beautiful ring. Do you have your original design? I am curious how it compares with your final design.

That ring is so regal looking. Absolutely beautiful. Great design.

LOVE the design! Totally inspired! Thanks for allowing us to copy, I might just do that. I have a cab slightly more cushion shaped that could work with this idea, maybe with some tweaks. Nice job, we'll have to hire you to design rings for us!

PS - how does the quality of Jewelryhoo metalwork and diamonds seem? Is the gold thin?

Every detail about your ring is amazing: the glow of the stone, the fabulous ring design...
It’s a very rich and elegant look
Please post a lot more pics!

My experience has been if you stipulate a width (like I did in mine) they follow it. If you don't stipulate, they do make it on the thin side but not too thin for regular wear.

Here is the original. The only changes that were made were, they recommended 6 diamonds on each side instead of 5, and I changed my mind to use 1.5mm stones on the top and bottom stone instead of 2.0mm.

Hehe! Please feel free to use. This was the original design but I didn't do a good job of sizing out the melee. I guess I just need an even bigger paraiba...

It looks gorgeous on your hand, too I like that you used a "colored" metal for the setting,paraibas look awesome in yellow or rose gold Mine's being set in rose gold.
