New Padparadscha Ring...

[Autumn in New England]

That stone…. Omg, I have to go back to look at it again

I am not sure I have ever loved a gemstone as much as this one…. Omg - soooooo pretty!


Omg, and you picked plat and 18k rose… I die.

This is such a lovely compliment... thank you!

 

[Autumn in New England]

You're so sweet for saying that! She's modest by PS standards but I'm in love with her.

If by modest you mean superb, then I agree!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Pretty! Very substantial but classic. The gold color is perfect.

It's funny how well it matches the stone, isn't it? I thought that too. Sometimes 18k rose can be too brassy for my tastes. I'm glad they nailed the alloy. Thank you!

Hand shots hand shots hand shots!!

And any family pictures you are willing to post.

Feed us!

Yes, ma'am!!

Gotta be #JOTW, right?

Is that still a thing...?

@autumninnewengland I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad you were able to find your way back to PS. I really enjoy your positivity, your energy, and your welcoming knowledge. Thank you for being present!

Nope! Gone the way of the dinos. I don't think PS wants to commit the time or effort anymore. It was a nice way of bridging the community. But thank you for the vote, my friend!!

Aww... this made me all misty-eyed.

When I tell you I've had the worst 20 months of my life (lost my favorite person on earth in '23). But I'm slowly fighting my way back. So it means a lot to hear that. Thank you and likewise, sweetheart.

I snapped a couple of pix on my lunch break. Actually I snapped about 10, but these are the only ones that aren't overly dark or blown out. lol I always try to avoid artificial light or direct sun, so the photos are as accurate as possible. Does she look lotus-y?

 

[Autumn in New England]

Also, does anyone think it's weird if I ask DK for the video they posted on IG? Is that a no-no? I can't figure out how to download it.

ETA: Never mind... I was able to do it!

Oh my! <fan flutter> This took me straight to Moulin Rouge and France in the 1930's!

This ring looks fabulous photographed - but even better in that little video you posted where it was on your finger. This is a ring to be WORN! And, when you do, please wave your hands around - a LOT!

You are all sorts of good taste, my friend! This is a STUNNER!! Pure heirloom quality. Congratulations and wear in good health always.

(Can somebody please pop the champagne now?)

A couple more desk shots... let me know when we get sick of these.

I just love your word pictures! Thank you for always being so encouraging. I think that may be Amy's hand in the video (or another of David's crew). I wish my fingers were that long and lovely!

Here's David's vid...

Be still my heart!! I love this so very much!!! The color is perfection and I really like uneven halos like you chose. I have my eye on a CvB setting with an uneven halo (not sure what to call it). Your nails are so nice btw!!

I actually like your pictures better than David's! That never happens! It blends even more harmoniously in real life and is exactly, exactly the perfect size for your finger. How did you ever figure that?? Spectacular.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Thanks for sharing in my excitement, everyone!!

thats what we are here for
and she is 100% PS worthy
she is a beautiful Princess

Yay! I'm so glad you like it!! Peach/coral has always been my favorite color since I was little (along with lavender/periwinkle). So I really wanted to go all out with this stone and then do her justice with the dress. I was afraid we were going too big by adding the bezel, but it seems to have worked out.

Thank you, my friend!!

I saw DK's video well before making my rounds on SMTB and my first thought was "I hope this belongs to a PSer".

My second thought was "this looks like something @Autumn in New England would do." Turns out I was right!

It looks spectacular, of course. Not that you need me to say that.

let me know when we get sick of these.

This. Has to be THE most phenomenal ring ever to be seen on PS (not to discount the other stunners) Or at least in the top few but to me absolutely heartbreaking spectacular.

+ a billion. I don't get envious very often, but this makes me so!!!!!

Just came back to swoon over this …. I’m just sayin’

Wowsers!! This ring would be perfectly at home on the hand of a Royal Princess! It’s stunning!

Isn't it funny how we can tell at this point? I was just saying that on another thread. Thank you!!

I love that you love it!

What a lovely compliment; thank you! I think Princess Eugenie has a pad engagement ring, but she's never given us a great look at it, unfortunately. Anyway, I'm sure hers far surpasses this one. lol

Wow! I'm so thrilled you're all loving it!! I said it before, but for such a simple design, we had a terrible time CADing it. Luckily, she turned out. Thank you!

+ a billion. I don't get envious very often, but this makes me so!!!!!

I'm so flattered! I appreciate the encouragement!!

 

[2Neesers]

This is stunning! The use of rose gold and platinum was a perfect choice. It looks so beautiful on your hand!!

Thank you, my friend! At first, I was only going to do the center prongs/basket in rose, but then changed it to the band too at the last minute!
