Re-set Engagement Ring - Ballerina Setting!

[morejewelsplease]

I have put this in a different thread in the RockyTalky forum, but someone suggested that I make a new post to show off my new bling! I had my 1.18 ct round brilliant engagement ring reset in a more modern Ballerina setting. I got the inspiration from Laura Preshong's Natalia Ring Design, but I changed it a bit. I went to David Klass in LA and Amy designed a really beautiful ring - it has massive finger coverage which is a HUGE change from my old solitaire. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of my original ring design (this actually makes me sad... I am sure I do somewhere, I just can't seem to find them). But here we go - here are the stats:

Original stone is a 1.18 ct round brilliant, H VS2
20 baguettes in the halo which total 1.77 cts G VS quality
Platinum size 6.5

I had it made to stack perfectly with my Emerald Cut eternity band, but when I tried them on together ... whoa! It was a bit much for everyday (although I do love it). I am probably going to wear it with my original wedding band which is much much smaller!

Here are the photos - first are the glam photos from DK:


Here are the hand shots.... I am a terrible photographer and desperately need a manicure!!






Tried it with a yellow gold cigar band that I love, but not sure it really works.




Also tried it with my french cut ruby band... you can barely see it!

So bold and such a fun statement ring, I love the Art Deco vibe. It reminds me of the Heidi Gibson designs and I am fan so I have few of her designs. I have also worked with David and love how fast and easy he is to work with as well so win win! Enjoy your ring! I think it exudes confidence! Wear it proud.

I agree- not nearly enough pics of this type of Ballerina settings. I combed the forums and the web for inspiration!

So beautiful. Congratulations!

Gorgeous ring, congrats!! I actually think it looks amazing and more balanced with your emerald band! They flow so well together and since your ring goes over the band, there’s no competition. The styles really complement each other, and the thickness of the band looks great with the larger ring!
