Introducing "Bertie" my new CvB Bespoke Engraved Halo

[Bonfire]

Oh wow!! Such beautiful detailing and artistry! Amazing ring!

 

[yennyfire]

Yenny, Bertie looks so wonderful on you. The setting is beautiful, as you would expect from Caysie, and it totally complements your stunning, huge, gorgeous stone. And I do so love the 8 sided shape of the ring. It feels so complete, IYKWIM. Congratulations on such a successful project and enjoy this stunning heirloom ring for many years to come.

Thanks LLJsMom! You've been on this journey with me for awhile, so I'm glad you think the end result is worthy! I hope that we can ogle each other's rings in person one day soon!

Saw this on IG--what a stunner! And holy finger coverage, Batman!

 

[lovedogs]

This is amazing! Also saw it on IG and knew it was for a PSer. Congrats on your new heirloom!

 

[yennyfire]

@Sandeek @Bonfire thank you!
@lovedogs I'm not surprised you knew it was for a PSer...we are the only ones obsessed enough with jewelry to commission pieces like this!
@Hayley87 yeah, Batman himself might have trouble hefting this sucker around! I was really shocked at how heavy it was! But I guess between the platinum and the stone, it's a lot of weight! Time to do finger lifts at the gym, lol!

Late to the thread because we are getting ready to take our daughter back to college tomorrow!

Yenny, it is just gorgeous! I can't tell you how much I love the octagonal engraved halo! The gallery is beautiful and the whole ring is just perfect! That is a killer OEC, too! Caysie has an eye for great stones as well as being a gifted designer. Plus she has the benches to produce the end result. I know people are used to getting things fast (I love Amazon Prime!!!), but true heirlooms are worth waiting for. I am glad you confirmed my opinion that the quality is as good as the other best antique style rings that we know of, and for now, the prices are much more appealing, too.

I am truly happy for you to have two magnificent heirloom rings. I knew you were wanting a larger diamond for your e-ring for quite awhile, and you took your time to search and really made outstanding choices!

Bertie is GORGEOUS! Wow wow wow! !!!!!

 

[missy]

Yenny, your Bertie looks spectacular on your hand. It's gorgeous!!!!!
I love the sentiment behind the ring and I love that the ring turned out so beautifully. A beautiful ring for a truly beautiful woman. I am thrilled for you and thank you so much for sharing these lovely photos. And please share about a thousand more.

Hope your son is feeling better!

Thanks @diamondseeker2006! Like @LLJsmom and @missy, you have been on this train with me for a LONG time and have been a great sounding board and voice of reason when needed. I couldn't have gotten to this place without you! I'm glad that you like it. I admire and respect your taste in jewelry, so knowing that you like it means a lot!

Good luck taking your DD back to college tomorrow. Sniff, sniff!!

Bertie is GORGEOUS! Wow wow wow! !!!!!

Thanks ceg!!

I'm late to the party as well--it looks beautiful on you, Yenny! We need a comparison shot with your antique oval ring!

Aww, thanks @missy! He is doing better today, thank you! I truly couldn't have gotten to this place without your guidance and advice. I've tried really hard to go slowly and make thoughtful decisions so that I got it right the first time and I do think I have. For me, it's about as close to perfect as it could be!

Here are a couple more photos:

Thanks @blingmeupscotty! I agree! While my oval is probably more of a "one of a kind" stone, the setting CvB made turns this stone into an heirloom piece!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Wow, you have two incredible rings! You definitely won't have DSS with this new ring! You were so fortunate to find a well cut diamond just under 4 cts, because it certainly looks like a 4 ct stone!

 

[LLJsmom]

Yenny, Love the new pics. Bertie is HUGE, in the best way!! It looks so good on you. I just love the whole look of your hand. I would so love to meet up and stare at our rings together.

 

[derbygal]

Holy smokes. Bertie is amazing!!!!!!

DS, I did get very lucky! I looked for a while to find a stone that met my criteria (10mm, eye clean SI1 and J color or better). I think it was meant to be that Caysie had this stone available when I realized that a 10mm antique cut was what I wanted!

Yenny, Love the new pics. Bertie is HUGE, in the best way!! It looks so good on you. I just love the whole look of your hand. I would so love to meet up and stare at our rings together.

Thanks LLJsmom! Yes, we would be quite the pair with our rings! Hope that we can make it happen soon!

 

[yennyfire]

Holy smokes. Bertie is amazing!!!!!!

Thanks @derbygal! I'm pleased as punch with her!

Thanks aac2013! If you'd seen the ring I came here with, you wouldn't be drooling!! I've grown a lot as a jewelry affixcianado as a result of my years on PS! It's been a journey, that's for sure!

 

[alene]

Wow, this one was certainly worth the wait! The setting is just incredible!

 

[Nitedula]

That is absolutely STUNNING! I love the detail, especially that engraving around the halo - it looks like a victory wreath!

 

[Queenie60]

Wow! I thought your 3-stone was magnificant, well..... this one cuts the cake!! Such a stunning ring and I agree, Caysie does beautiful work. Enjoy your new bling. Simply beautiful.

 

[arkieb1]

Wow that is just gorgeous in every way, perfect stone and amazing setting!!!

 

[Alexiszoe]

It's absolutely stunning!!! I have been thinking of doing an octagonal halo on an 11mm+ stone but was worried about it looking overwhelming. Bertie just gives me that nudge that yes, it's in the right direction! And what a wonderful way to remember your grandmother. Wear it in good health!

OMG THUD. Those 2 rings together. Quick someone get me a defibrillator please!

WOW thank you for the additional photos!!! You are taking the best photos Yenny!! So artistic and Bertie cannot take a bad photo. She is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!
And you know that I am not just saying that because (you know) I keep it real.

So happy for you sweet Yenny!!!!! Wear her in health and happiness always.
And glad your ds is feeling much better!
