Carre eternity band revamped by David Klass

[oldcutclubmember]

I had a carre eternity band that was channel set in 18k WG. While I loved the carre cut stones, I wasn't in love with the setting. My engagement ring as well as my wedding band are vintage inspired pieces so they didn't go as well as I had hoped when I stacked them together. The carre band felt a little too modern for my set and I found myself wearing it on my right hand or just using it as my travel ring. Also, I felt that the angles of the carre cuts got lost in the channel set because they just flowed so well together. I'm sure that most people assumed it was a princess cut band.

At first I considered just adding milgrain to the edges of the band but I really wanted a platinum band since my wedding set is also platinum. In addition, I felt that individually bezeling the stones would bring out their carre-ness more, so to speak lol.

I considered various vendors and requested quotes from a few. I chose to go with David Klass because I had been so thrilled with my platinum milgrained pendant that he had done for me earlier this year [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/half-carat-avr-in-david-klass-platinum-pendant.198885/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/half-carat-avr-in-david-klass-platinum-pendant.198885/[/URL] Since this band also involved platinum and milgrains, I knew he would do an amazing job and he surely did NOT disappoint!

Once again, David was a dream to work with and the eternity band turned out SO beautiful. I picked it up during my lunch break today and had to take pics and post immediately!! David is working on a second differently designed band (using the the left over carre cut stones from this project) in rose gold and I'm so looking forward to seeing it.

Here are some more pics of the band stacked with my SS wedding band and a plain platinum band from etsy. The stack looks so much better together!

That turned out FABULOUSLY!!! WOW - I love how each individual stone just pops, in this setting. DK's milgraining skills are outstanding. Your ring is just stunning now - a perfect compliment to the others in your collection!

Fantastic revamp!!

Beautiful redo!!! That is such a great marriage of modern and antique. The stack looks wonderful together. Can't wait to see the RG project!!

I LOVE this!!!! I have exactly the same preferences as you for bands!!!! French cut and carre are my favorites!!!!

 

[lorrissey]

Wow wow wow! I cannot get over how perfect this came out AND how perfect it is in your stack. I'm in lurve with it!

 

[msop04]

Not THAT'S a wedding band!! GORGEOUS!!

 

[EHR2009]

This is amazing!!! I am obsessed with your stacks! I have a carre cut band that I might consider modifying (inspired by you!). Can you ask the ballpark of what you paid (since you already had the diamonds, which I would, as well)?

 

[Acinom]

What an amazing reset of your band! The carre's are indeed much more defined. It looks gorgeous on you. You truly have the most amazing stack

 

[apacherose]

You must be thrilled- incredible workmanship it looks amazing. I agree the stones just pop in their perfect milgrained frames and the whole feel and look of this band is to die for. Congratulations. You had great vision to do this- I might have been pleased as could be with the original ring- I saw it and thought it was great... but this- just wow. Great job.

Oh, this is stunning! It is perfection!

Very nice! I love carre-cut diamonds, and it's so nice to see them in a non-channel-set ring.
