So beautiful!!! I really LOVE colored stones with side diamonds. It looks wonderful with the emerald! Great setting, too!
Found some pics of the ring prior to completion! I really appreciated these progress photos. It helped make sure the details were as I wanted. It also helped me to calm the frick down as I waited impatiently for it to be completed.
Ok, so here's the wax mold. It's my first time seeing one that has these extra bits so the whole thing doesn't just snap apart or something.
Here's the cast. I love Sako's presentation. It totally helped me to visualize what the whole ring would look like by the end.
And here's a couple pics after the stones were set and the ring just needed its final polish. At first glance, I thought the ring was done already. It looked that good!
I know I am late but I've been MIA. Life is so busy! But I have seen Emmy IRL and I can say with the utmost certainty that this ring is the ring to end all rings. The emerald just GLOWS in every lighting imaginable. And its a green that you can spot from across the room. And the YG just complements the emerald beautifully. I tried to steal the ring and hoped @AnastasiaBeaverhausen wouldn't notice but she's pretty smart. But next time I will be smarter. I did get some pics in though! It was funny because I sent her the pics after we went our separate ways and she thought that I had successfully stolen it and was sending pics as a "I've got your ring, pay the ransom" kind of deal.
I hope its ok that I post these pics, @AnastasiaBeaverhausen! We also didn't take any pics together again...one of these days...
I keep tellin ya. You need that 3ct cushion emmy so we can twin.
FINISHED RING!!

Playing around with different bands to pair with it:
1) French cut eternity
2) Plain yellow gold band (It's actually just the Van Craeynest solitaire I have that's just spun around. This is probably my favorite look but I'm having a devil of a time trying to find a band with the height and width juuuuust right).
3) Yellow gold bamboo band
4) Platinum carved band from Jabel

Phew. Thanks for making it to the end, friends. That's all I've got for now!
