AVR + CvB = Perfection!

[ecf8503]

I can't even say how thrilled I am with this ring - it far exceeds my expectations in every way! Truly a work of art.

The AVR is from Jonathan @Rhino at AV, 1.767ct H VS1. The ring is from CvB with an Elsa head and a Chloe shank, size 5.5 in platinum. Both Jonathan and Caysie were extremely professional, and made this journey all the more fun. Jonathan shipped the stone directly to Caysie, so I never saw it in person before the ring was sent to me once the ring was done.

Let me tell you I was blown away when I opened the box! The stone is a magical thing - it looks so beautiful in every lighting I've been in since I got it, with lovely colorful facets twinkling on and off, and never even a hint of tint in the H color. Just splendid. And the setting - WOW. It's so much daintier in real like than in the CADs and glamour shots. The milgrain is so fine, and every detail is executed perfectly.

I just can't thank Jonathan and Caysie enough for this exquisite piece - it's truly the most beautiful piece of jewelry I've ever seen in person, and I'm just over the moon happy!

I'll start with the CAD pics, then the glamour shots from Caysie, and finally my pathetic attempt to take some good real-life shots. Here are the CADs:

Beautiful ring, @ecf8503!

Can I ask you how long the project took and also what size your fingers are?

ETA And I love your ail polish!!

It took about 6 weeks, maybe a little less - I contacted Caysie around Aug 9 or so, and received it today! The ring is a size 5.5. My hands are a bit swollen today (darn pizza for dinner last night...), and I'm in the process of losing weight so I had it made a bit on the small side.

Thank you to everyone; I love it! And I fully realize how lucky I am - never take it for granted.

What a magnificent diamond (the cut is sheer perfection) and the setting is exquisite. Enjoy your beautiful ring in good health and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful images.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

When I saw that beauty on IG, I knew it had to be yours!!! I love it sooo much!

Caysie's settings are just perfect for AVRs and any antique diamonds. And you chose an outstanding AVR, too! I love the elements you put together in your setting. Enjoy this gorgeous ring, and I'll be telling a little how our paths crossed very soon!

Swoon!!! I LOVE this ring. Beautifully done and it looks perfect on you.

Haha every time I think OK I know what I am going to do for a setting for my stone I see another TDF setting that makes me go uh oh I have no clue what I want to do.

Enjoy your beautiful new ring in health and happiness.
