@Mrs_Strizzle I actually lost it at my daughter’s house on a Friday while babysitting. We searched and searched. I was heart sick for the next few days. Then on Sunday my SIL texted a photo of my granddaughter holding it! She had used a flashlight and found it in their laundry room!

@missyminx thank you for saying that. . The E/W orientation was a hard decision!

@mrs-b and @Acinom Thank you! I’ll post more pictures tomorrow. Caysie sent them in a beautiful little wooden box.
@Tonks I love your name! ( I’m actually re-reading all of the HP books right now!) I look forward to seeing what you and Caysie are working on! It’s a tad addicting and I’m already dreaming of a right hand ring by her!

Here is how these little treasures arrived in Caysie’s handsome box.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank goodness your granddaughter found your stone. I can't imagine the fright.

Hello Everyone!
Thank you to all who have given such good advice during this process! My two rings arrived last week and I wanted to share a little of the backstory first. A few months ago my 3.15 0MC fell out of its setting and was lost for several days. Thankfully, my seven-year-old granddaughter found it! The original setting had only four prongs and one of the prongs had broken off causing the diamond to fall out. For the new setting I knew I wanted something with six or eight prongs. I contacted Caysie at Cvb about designing it! We decided on an Edwardian inspired, platinum and yellow gold, eight prong setting with diamonds on the shoulders. At the same time we discussed resetting my original .5 carat EG in her Jessica style band adding my tiny heirloom diamond earrings on the sides so that I could wear both rings together. The whole process was such a fun and exciting experience. Caysie was a joy to work with and so easy to communicate with. I love her design aesthetic and have enjoyed looking at her lovely creations for years here on PS and on her IG. The finished results blew me away. The CADS are so helpful but nothing prepared me for the finished pieces! The delicacy of the proportions and detail work is breathtaking. Both pieces are dainty yet substantial if that makes sense! I’m so glad I trusted Caysie’s advice and expertise when designing my rings’ new and beautiful wardrobes! Here are a few photos. (I'm not confident in how to properly post photos but I'll give it my best shot!) More to come.

This is amazing! Very stunning.

@scoutfinch -
Still hoping for some shots of the 3 stone on your hand by itself? Pleeeease?

I am sooo behind around here! What gorgeous rings! Wow, that antique cushion is just fabulous, and the setting is perfect for it! I love it set E-W! The band is beautiful, too! So glad for you this had a happy ending!!!

LOL I'm trying to get a decent photo of my rather wrinkly hands! Stay tuned! It is very dainty and lovely by itself, IMO!

Hi @scoutfinch

I'm trying to get an idea of how stones of that proportion look on your hands. I don't mind AT ALL about how your hands look; I'm staring 60 in the face myself, so wrinkly hands are my life.

Snap away!

 

[scoutfinch]

@mrs-b here you go! These aren’t the best but Caysie has lots of excellent photos of her Jessica band on her IG.

 

[mrs-b]

Thanks so much, @scoutfinch - I know the pain of the dreaded hand shot! Suffice to say, tho, your hands look just fine, and your CvB pieces would make any hand look fabulous!

Lovely new pics.

 

[scoutfinch]

Here’s a side view. I like how low Caysie set them. My granddaughters call it a little crown!

 

[doobaokwei]

So beautiful! Love the stacking, too!

 

[scoutfinch]

@doobaokwei thank you! It’s meant a lot to wear my original wedding ring and ER all together again! It’s been a while.

 

[tyty333]

They both turned out beautiful!

 

[scoutfinch]

@tyty333 Thank you so much! Very thankful and happy with the whole process.

@Catmom Thank you! Yes it was a crazy few days.. I lost it at our daughter's house right as I was bringing all three little grandchildren to our house for the weekend (our daughter and her husband were going out of town) .. So all weekend I was desperately trying to just enjoy the grandchildren! They kept saying, "Darling, we are praying! Think happy thoughts" Then miraculously, a few days later, the 7 year old found it with her flashlight! I had already reached out to LAD for a replacement and was busy checking our insurance policy! Whew, just so relieved and in the end it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the setting Caysie made for is more beautiful and secure!
