BGD + asscher chrysoberyl =

[Kismet]

I posted this over in colored stones but thought you might like to see it here too. The original thread is here.

The center stone is a 1.97ct asscher chrysoberyl cut by Roger Dery. The ring, made by Brian Gavin Diamonds, is platinum with 18k yellow gold wraps. The round diamonds are his signature H&A. I think he sourced the traps but I can''t say for certain. I had a tough time photographing this ring; my camera really didn''t want to focus well on it so most of my pics aren''t very sharp.

First up, the loose stone. This is pretty accurate colorwise:

Hand shot. It''s a RHR so it''s a bit big on my left.

Bathroom lighting.

This picture makes the stone look brown but it''s not at all.

Blurry windmills (these next two pictures make it look more green than it is too):

And last but not least, side shot:

Absolutely stunning!

Thank you all. It took a little while and several phone calls for me and Brian to talk through everything I wanted (and didn''t want) in a ring and come up with a design that was both doable with my center stone and fit my requirements. This being involved with the design process was more difficult than I thought it would be but it was definitely worth it in the end.
