I just had a vintage ring overhauled by DK and thought it would be fun to share!
I bought the ring a couple years ago while looking for a temporary setting for my oec cut blue zircon. It was platinum with an oec and single cut halo and happened to fit my zircon. It was on sale, so bought it for under $700. I had DK swap out the black spinel for my zircon.

But recently, I had DK put the zircon in her new forever home.
Hmmm... what to do with the setting now ?
I asked DK if they could use the top , reorient the halo and add a new gallery and shank in rose gold. They mounted a blue- green (lab) sapphire from Finewater and this is the result:

The new ring is stunning!
 
Genius! And what a stunning result!
 
Tremendous! Can we see the zircon and new ring together? :kiss2:
 
The original orientation looked lovely, but the new orientation looks fabulous!!! Great eye, @CHRISTY-DANIELLE. I love, love, love your CS collection! There isn't one that I would turn down, if it were to suddenly pop into my world. :kiss2: :bigsmile:

ETA: To be truthful, I love all your beautiful rings, CS or otherwise. It always lights up my day when I see one of your "show me..." posts!
 
I love it! The blue-green sapphire is the most beautiful color, and together with the reoriented setting is just ... wowzers!! Pure magic.
 
Wow wow wow this is gorgeous! Great result. It just sings!!

I love this and much prefer the orientation to the square version. Wonderful!
 
It’s stunning!! I’m loving the new orientation!
 
:love: So clever, and what an elevation! Look at the galleries!
 
Love the new orientation!! It's a beautiful ring!!
 
Wait, what? It looks like a whole different ring! They did an amazing job on it and the kite set and the gallery are perfect!
 
I saw this ring on DK's FB page, and thought it has to belong to a PSer!

Love it, and the new orientation is better than the original, thanks for sharing!

DK :kiss2:
 
Wow! Nice job both of you! I might need to save this in my inspiration folder.

Can we please also see the zircon in its new setting?
 
Didn’t know they could do that. Thank you for sharing.
 
Oh my! The original ring was lovely, but the new one is just beyond glorious!!

Of course! More musical chairs....I had DK make a ring for a yellow zircon but wasn't in love with it in 2 tone (she's getting something else) SO I had DK put the blue zircon in that instead. If you follow his Instagram they had videos of the process on this swap out. It was cool to see!

I'll get some more photos tomorrow for those that asked. I haven't had much time today.

Edit to Add: You ladies are the best! I'm so overwhelmed with your responses! Thank you all and I'm glad you enjoyed the post :)
 
What a fantastic use of a setting!! The re-orientation of the head made a HUGE difference and it looks amazing!!

Yes! The blue zircon does look better in that setting than the yellow did. It’s amazing.
 
This is beautiful & such a work of art!

I'm so glad he was able to fully use the top - I love it :kiss2:
 
I’m a fan of the kite set orientation, and the lab sapphire looks beautiful in it! The OEC cut on the zircon is wonderful as well, love it in the bezel setting. A fun round of musical chairs.
