Krazy Kataoka Kettle of fish (aka I am bad at alliteration)

Yeah you might need to go with an expert at antique restoration?

Haha indeed! And might have to sell it or return because of my enormous finger. So both :kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::kiss2::cry2::cry2::cry2::cry2:

I just clicked on the link and saw the original price :oops2:. What a steal of a deal! If it doesn’t work out and you could sell it for anywhere near the original then maybe that’s not so bad either! I’m sending dust that you can get it sized :)
 
DK says he can "probably" resize it, but needs to see it. I'll be sending it to him asap. Fingers crossed SO hard.
 
What a beauty of a ring. I hope you can get it resized. . If not, maybe wear it on a chain as a sort of pendant.
 
Oh, keep us posted!! We're all crossed for you!!
 
I have everything crossed for you!!!! I am SO EXCITED for you!!!!! It's BEAUTIFUL

There have been a few pieces over the years I have seen on TRR that were ABSOLUTELY a branded piece but they didnt list it as branded!
 
Wow, congratulations on finding a heck of a deal! I hope DK can work his magic.
 
I’ve been wondering about this fantastic find!!!!! Hope you can size it. It’s gorgeous!!!
 
I was wondering if there was an update on this....@lovedogs, any news?
 
I know David and the team were off during the holiday week so I am sure they're catching up. I am dying for my bracelet (which will be at least a month) but hopefully he can at least let you know even of they cant do it just yet!
 
What a beautiful treasure! I hope it works out for you but I know a PSer would love to have that ring if you end up listing it!
 
After a long and stressful wait, I'm happy to share that DK is a miracle worker and resized it! Don't have it yet, but wanted to post his pics KatherineM-4.jpg9KatherineM-2.jpgKatherineM.jpg

Will update again when it arrives!

Absolutely STUNNING!!!
 
Amazing!!!! So excited for you to finally be able to enjoy it!!
 
I’m so glad DK was able to resize it! Can’t wait to see it on you.
 
That is fabulous! So happy he was able to do this for you! Can’t wait for you to receive it!
 
The best news! It looks perfect!
 
I knew he could do it!! So happy for you!! It’s Incredible that you recognized this ring as Kataoka to begin with. After a long journey, it will be back with you and you’ll have a fantastic and romantic backstory of persistence to share. Congratulations!!
 
It's hereeeee!

1. I had to put sticker emojis and/or blur my hands. They are disgustingly dry from all of the winds/dry air/dust/smoke, etc in southern CA lately.

2. I think this is likely too small for my giant hands so I'll probably wear it sparingly and save it for DD.

3. God i love kataoka's work. It's so delicate and ethereal. The diamond isn't ideal by ps standards but it's SO BRIGHT. My guess is it's a 60/60, which might be a good thing in this case since it's only .25ct.

4. Even the freaking side stones give fire. They are teeny tiny, but so lively!

I love it, and I don’t think it looks out of proportion on your hands at all. Maybe in the future, you can find some ultra thin little bands to stock with it.
 
It's stunning and I think it looks great on you! I 100% agree with @Dreamer_D that the proportions are fine but that it would suit some delicate stackers too. But don't worry, you can always send it to me if you think it looks too dainty :evil2:
 
It's lovely!! Get yourself some stackers (or don't) and wear that beauty!! It's too lovely not to enjoy!
 
Also, after wearing it on my right hand for a few hours: I keep forgetting it's even on. It is the lightest ring I've ever owned, which is kind of cool. It doesn't feel flimsy at all--it feels super strongly made but somehow so so light.
 
It’s gorgeous @lovedogs. It looks so beautiful on your hand. I love it.
