OMG!! David Klass contacted me!!

Hi everyone,

First of all…thanks to everyone who helped me to get in touch with DK!!

I contacted him through his Etsy shop. It seemed easiest. He answered me back last night and we are designing a ring based on @caolsen ring because that is literally my dream ring!!

It will be different as I don’t have a yellow diamond and I want the shank to be a little different.

I have a really ugly, almost and maybe an industrial grade champagne diamond that I’ve had sitting in my jewelry box for years. I am hoping a bezel halo will mask the horrible quality of the stone.

Or I could use my current engagement ring stone. It is a G color and good stats, though not by PS standards. But it’s a white diamond.

So, my question for all of you is….should I use the crappy champagne diamond or the G color diamond? I’m attaching pictures of each stone. The crappy stone is in the rose gold setting (also crappy) but I got that ring for a steal. It is a 1.65ct, 7.6 mm round.

The G diamond is also 7.6 mm(approx) , 1.69ct.

Your opinions on this project are greatly appreciated. I’ve asked DK for his input as well.

I also attached DK Etsy site and his reply as I’ve never sent my jewelry to anyone in the mail and I hope this is the real DK and not a scammer. (You just never know).

This is the inspiration ring that is @caolsen has. I hope she doesn’t mind me copying her ring.

Here is another design I’m considering for the G colored diamond. (Only the ring in the middle. Not the bands).

Thoughts??

For me, it would depend on how much I was attached to my engagement ring? The design is STUNNING & I think either stone would look beautiful in that setting, but what's your end goal? Is this new ring to go with your wedding set or is it a right hand ring?

I think you could get away with the "industrial-grade" diamond in this setting. (Hilarious reference, BTW.) In fact, I think it might look quite good. I'm not sure if a white diamond would work as well with this one.

I’m not too attached to my engagement ring. I would rather keep it as a solitaire to mix and match with different bands. Thanks for your advice. That makes me feel better about the champagne diamond.

I was thinking the same thing. I even thought about 18k rose gold for the bezel.

I would use the new ring as another engagement ring. I love to wear different looks.

My vote is also for the champagne diamond.

I think the DK response is definitely real because it is so short and to the point.

If you ever get a long winded, flowery response from DK, then you'll know something is very wrong!

It looks like he used the design from @caolsen ring but just modifying it. I really hope she doesn’t mind me stealing her design

Ok, I just did that. Thanks so much for your help. I was so excited to hear from DK…..I’m like a giddy little kid and didn’t think to crop the email. Ugh!!!

yes, you will need to hit the report button and ask mods to delete. You can only edit a short period of time after you post then that option is removed. I can't remember what the specific amount of time is.

I wonder how long it takes for them to remove a post?

usually not too long, but kind of depends on how soon they see your request. Hopefully it will be soon.

7.30 seems like it will stick up too high. Does anyone know more about this because I cannot picture it.

I agree. I would never have designed this ring, this way if the OMC had been colorless….

 

[caolsen]

Mine is 7.15mm. My ring is not too high, I’d call it mid height. With the full under gallery, you add height. Here is a side fire of 7.15mm .35MM is nothing, so you ring would be close to this…
