My David Klass teal tourmaline ring

[elle_71125]

I contacted David Klass to see if he could set my teal tourmaline.
You may remember this pic.


I gave him some inspiration pics and he sent me the CADs fairly quickly. Unfortunately, they just didn't feel right (I just wasn't in love) so I switched up the project and sent him completely different pics. To his credit, DK just rolled with it and considering how busy he is, that is saying something.

When I received my new CADs, I knew I had made the right decision. I felt the excitement I had been anticipating.
Here's a pic of the CADs.

I made a few minor changes to them (where did I put those updated ones?) and we were off to production.



Just today, DK just emailed me to let me know my ring was completed. I am so excited because I wasn't expecting such a fast turnover.
Here are some of the pics he sent me.

Beautiful ring...and killer color stone

 

[minousbijoux]

Beautiful ring. Well done for not settling and trusting your gut. Love the ever-so-slight taper up of the shank as it nears the halo. Perfect proportions of the halo to the stone. And of course that color! Okay, I admit it - I like your ring a little

Hand shots, hand shots, hand shots...

 

[Sungura]

Wow! Elle what a beautiful ring. Like the others I can't wait to see hand shots. The tourmaline looks so vivid with all those diamonds. I like the size of the halo diamonds. Congrats!

 

[Siameseroo]

Your tourmaline is stunning! What a beautiful ring. Congratulations!

 

[SparkliesLuver]

I've loved your stone ever since you first posted it, so I was super curious how it was going to be set. I'm glad you listened to your gut and went a different direction. I'd say it paid off!! It's a beautiful ring, elle. Well done! Lots of hand shots, please, when you receive it.

 

[elle_71125]

[picante27]

Wow, I love the color of your tourmaline! It looks perfect in that setting as well!

 

[Arcadian]

That stone is a beauty! Love the color and cut on it! Do you know what size diamonds David used on the halo? Asking from curiosity as I start working on another ring ( )

 

[Acinom]

Such an amazing stone and setting!!!
Great choices elle
Your ring has such a beautiful profile. And I love the size of the halo stones.

Beautiful ring, the colour is gorgeous.

 

[elle_71125]

LisaRN, Lovinggems, & Picante27 thank you guys. I appreciate the nice comments. You guys are the best!

Arcadian The halo stones are 1.7mm. They actually look bigger than I thought they would (no complaints here ).
I can't wait to see some details on this new secret project.

Acinom I'm pretty excited about the profile too! Thank you!

Thank you GlamMosher, Laila619, Mochicko,and SparkliesLuver!

I'm wearing it to work today (duh), with my pink sapphire band. It's an odd mix but I'm loving it anyway.
(sorry about the terrible quality. Cell phone & office lighting...not a great mix).
