my 1st engagement ring reset project

[ksf]

Hi!
I would like to share with you some pics of my 1st engagement ring and how it got reset into a bracelet and a pinky ring.

Earlier I posted some pics of my 2nd engagement ring that I got from my DH for our 16th anniversary. While I super love the 2nd one, the 1st one holds more sentimental value to me, as at that point he was 26 years old and it meant a lot for us to buy a diamond ring from CHAUMET (It is called Torsade and they do not create this style with a center diamond anymore.)

The center diamond is 0.26 carats so it is a very tiny one but when we looked at the GIA inscription on its girdle we were very much impressed by the other 3 Cs that we picked at that point. It is E, IF, Excellent cut that is perfectly within the Tolkowsky ideal (I know they matter less with smaller diamonds but still very nice to know.. )

Anyhow, so I wanted to keep wearing the 1st one and asked my jeweller who created the 2nd ring if they could reset it to a bracelet and a pinky ring. I just received them yesterday, and I totally fell in love with them I feel love and being protected by my DH who he was back in 2006 ( as well as today of course) when I wear them.

here are some pics of the 2nd one that I have not shared yet, a few that the jeweller took, one that my DH took (with a different flower than the other picture), and another one that is a side-by-side with the bracelet. We grew older, but the diamond became much much bigger! So it is not all that bad, is it?

Thank you for your kind comment! I am so happy with how the original ring transformed to be such a lovely bracelet (that actually matches the 2nd engagement ring with the same seamless halo design) and the ring is resized perfectly that I cannot even tell there was a center diamond before.

Oooh. I love it! I am looking to purchase this as well for my ER or two as ring guards. Where did you get it or was it custom? Looks beautiful! Thank you! It was custom- much cheaper than retail here in the UK

Well ksf you did good! Putting your original stone into a bracelet so it would not be forgotten. And your upgrade stone in that halo is awesome. Such a great idea!
