Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rings!

[Enerchi]

Woofmama and I both have a love of modern/contemporary design and we decided to do a joint jewelry project and set our round zircons in a matching setting. We scoured the internet for ideas we both liked, then narrowed down to a single setting that each of us agreed on (we worked thru that SUPER quickly - great minds think alike, I guess!) and then approached a few vendors we have worked with in the past. We decided to go with Ilya of DiamondZone and he sent us CAD's to approve prior to casting our rings. They were finished much faster than we had anticipated - Woofmama received hers first (being a local to the Chicago area, vs mine having to traverse the Canada/US border and the assorted hangups that our lovely system provides....!!). I just LOVED hers and I was so excited, I couldn't wait to meet my ring!!

I'll let Woofmama give the specs on her blue zircon/YG ring but here are the specs on my rosey/orange/pink/copper unheated zircon in RG:

The zircon (my birthstone) is from Dana Reynolds at Mastercut Gems, 2.7 cts, 8.1mm diameter, from Tanzania. I had it shipped directly from Dana to Ilya so I do not have any pics of it unset other than the link from his site: http://mastercutgems.com/index.php?page=viewgem&id=7742

The setting is 14k rose gold, which looks YG in some pics in a size 8. Spins a bit but that's because its winter here, come summer, I probably won't be able to get it on or off! I have worn this constantly for the past 2+ weeks! I find it super comfortable to wear and am getting a lot of compliments on the style. THANKS Ilya and DZ! I am very happy with my lovely birthstone ring!!

Woofmama will be along shortly to add her details!

Sorry I didn't get my pics added, I was at work all day, will get some up ASAP.

Enerchi your ring is beautiful! It was pretty gutsy having it set sight unseen, love the color of your stone!

It's gorgeous!! I'm impressed with Ilya's work. Can't wait to see these both in person.

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

Both rings are stunning! The flow of the design is so elegant and I love that each of you has her own unique colored stone. I love the mysterious orangey as well as the fresh seaside blue.

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

Thanks for adding my pics! I'm trying again. The color of my stone is brighter blue than shown in my pictures. Attaching pics of my stone unset to show color. I bought my zircon from Dana at Mastercut during one of his sales. It's 3.02ct and 8mm.
Love the cut and color, IRL it's such a sparkle bomb!
My stone reminds of the bright blue summer sky and I love the flowing bezel. I haven't worn it much because to me it screams summer and I picture myself wearing it walking along the lakefront downtown.
Ilya did a fantastic job on the bezel, the quality of the setting is extremely nice! He also worked very fast, I think I had my ring one week after I sent the stone. Super happy with the finished product.

This was such a fun project to collaborate on with my dear friend Enerchi Now I just have to convince her to come back to Chicago so we can hang out together with our rings

GORGEOUS! Enerchi and Woofmama, I love your birthstone rings.
Clean and elegant and ooh so gorgeous. Enjoy in health and happiness.

Enerchi, that ring (love the rose gold!) is sure to keep you warm through the cold Canadian winter!

Woofmama, I love the blueness of your zircon. So lovely! Did I mention blue is my favorite color?

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

Woofmama, you ring is gorgeous! I love that shade of blue, it's my favorite color too; and you're right, it brings up thoughts of spring/summer - the sky, the ocean, so bright and fresh - congrats to both you ladies!

Love these. And the idea is so cute!

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

We FINALLY saw the sun today!!! I snapped some more pics to share. Couldn't get a clear shot of the the right colour that I see when I look at it, so the blurry one will have to do.

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

I have been waiting for your handshots Enerchi. Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful and mysterious color. The ring looks lovely on you.

Both rings are stunning! I love the summery blue of yours Woofmama. Hopefully the two of you will have a get together soon

Enerchi, that is gorgeous on your hand! Looks fab with that nail polish too!

Woofmama, love yours as well!

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

I'm sorry to hijack your thread ladies! Enrechi, I've spoken to you a bit about having a custom e-ring setting done by DZ. When working with tiny melee/pave type stines, is there going to be a visible difference between the VS and Si1 /2? I'm not a huge diamond nut to really know. Ilya says he doesn't think it will make a difference. Is it really necessary to upgrade to VS? I'd message you, but don't know how

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

Thanks for all of the nice comments It really is a fun design and beautifully made. I had so much fun collaborating with Enerchi, never mind that neither of us knew a damn thing about cads, we both just said-looks good to me

 

[Enerchi]

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

Thank you all for your lovely compliments!!! It was a very easy design process, as in: "What about this? Ya - that's perfect!I" - and then it all fell into place pretty quickly once we decided we were going to go for it and we had the CAD's from Ilya.

I love the colour of Woofmama's zircon - its like the caribbean ocean and I could just fall into it... That YG really makes it pop!

Re: Enerchi & Woofmama - our matching DiamondZone zircon rin

I love these. Do you have a pic of them stacked?

Hi Preg If you mean stacked together, no we don't. Enerchi is in Canada & I'm in Chicago. The next time we visit I'll be happy to snap a picture for you, though I have no idea when that might be.

Glad you like our design
