Hello!
I am so excited to finally share my Wolf CBI 5 stone ring. About a year ago I saw a video of a CBI, and I was sold. I had never seen a diamond perform like that before. But financially we weren’t in a good place for an impulse splurge. So I shelved the idea.
On July 16th I got the best news: I had passed my profession’s national certification exam, and had advanced to the highest possible standing/benchmark in my field. I decided right away that now was the best time to purchase a heirloom piece of jewelry to celebrate! Time for my Wolf CBI 5 stone!
I spent HOURS looking through the 5 stone thread. I contacted Wolf CBI, and Layla got back to me within hours of first sending them an email. Since they did not have the size / color diamonds I wanted, they decided to do a custom cut-to-order for all 5 of my CBI’s. This project is my first big custom project, and they worked with me to make my perfect U-prong setting.
During my project, Layla left Wolf CBI. Melissa became my point of contact moving forward. Sadly a few weeks later, the heart breaking news spread that Wolf CBI was shutting their doors. @Wink himself became my main point of contact from there out.
I am so thankful that I was able to buy a piece from Wolf CBI (most importantly, Wink!) before they closed. Wink informed me that my 5 stone ring was their last piece of jewelry to create as a business.
Now, details!
18k yellow gold, 3mm band. 1.552 CT. Size 5.25 finger. On the inside is engraved “You Did It!”, as a reminder to myself of my accomplishments in my career.

The craftsmanship is amazing. The gold is polished to a mirror-like finish. Wink told me they spent 15 hours polishing it! The U-prongs are spectacular, and they even added little holes in the bottom for easy cleaning. Something I didn’t even think about asking for. I asked for it to be low profile, while still showing the girdle, pavilion, just to the point of the culet. It is my most well-made piece of jewelry yet.
These are my first super-ideal diamonds, and I’m completely sold. They are the most beautiful diamonds I’ve ever seen in my life.
Thanks for reading my story! Don't mind the grocery store photos.... They have the best lighting, hehe! I tried to get a variety of photos and videos. Please do watch the videos at the end, they are truly spectacular. I'm mad the videos don't really do the ring justice!
Thank you @Wink for your help and compassion during my project. I am honored to have such a beautiful heirloom piece to last forever, and I am so happy I got to work with you on my special project <3 @Wink

Wowza! This is such a gorgeous piece. I’d be spending a lot of time at the grocery store with that ring & those lights!
I also love to see PSers choose jewelry to celebrate non-relationship milestones as well. Congratulations on your professional achievement!

Oh yes I will! Thank you so much!Wow!!! That is just beau-ti-FUL. What an amazing ring, and a heck of a creation for CBI to go out on. It is stunning. I’m sure you’ll enjoy those sparkles every time you see it!
I thought the same thing! I feel so lucky, thank you!Congratulations on your certification results and on your gorgeous ring! You're so lucky to have gotten the last CBI ring-it's like you are wearing a little piece of history

Absolutely stunning on you.
Thank you! I totally agree, I saw how classy everyone else looks in their 5 stone and I thought "well now I gotta join the club too!"Beautiful ring! I think you made a great choice in the 5 stone ring to commemorate your achievement!
Thank you so much! I totally trusted Wolf to do the design. I showed them 2 inspiration pictures and for the rest said "you decide!" and I'm glad I did!Neat-o! Congrats on your job achievement and your pretty ring. I like the ”non-stuffed” look with some space between the diamonds. Keep on forgetting ingredients so you can run back to the grocery store lighting and give us moar photos.
It looks beautiful!! Congratulations!

Thank you ! I am really happy with the coverage too!Absolutely beautiful ring! I love that you rewarded yourself for a milestone achievement with it. You can tell from the photo of you wearing it in the supermarket that it really packs a punch on your finger.
Thank you! Oh yes, any other vendor and I would have felt nervous that the quality would be lacking. Not Wink! <3What a lovely piece of jewelry! It's gorgeous. I'm not at all surprised that Wink's work was quality and precision to the very last piece from the shop.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words! This was my first time seeing "super ideals" in real life. I'm glad I took the risk!Not owning a CBI, I value this because you've provided imaging that shows how other-worldly beautiful those CBI diamonds are. OMG, off the charts! And what a great tribute to Wink! Your ring is really beyond adjectives. It's a treasure.
Congratulations on your accomplishment! Your ring is gorgeous!
Such a spectacular way to celebrate your achievement! Congratulations on both and that ring! I mean, damn!!
