Show me your Daniel M goodies!

My zircon earrings from Dan arrived today, and they look amazing! I'm bad at ear shots, but thought you'd all like to see what they look like on :-) Please forgive the messy hair that desperately needs to be cut, lol!

Dan made this recently and I love the way it turned out. It is based off an antique ring design I saved. The center is a 6x4mm (.40ct) paraiba from Desertrose and the melee are gems from Yvonne's shop, 1.3mm demantoid inner halo and 1.5mm mahenge pink spinel outer. Set in 18k. I can't say enough good things about Dan's workmanship! Definitely worth the wait.

Dan supplied the .20ctw side diamonds and they are very sparkly irl.

Dan has received my rubies and diamonds (all lab), and sent me the CAD for the earrings he is creating for me. Love them!

Ooooh!!! Gorgeous, I can’t to see them @Dandi
 
Looks stunning! Can't wait to have like that also but, with a different color.
 
How’s everyone’s projects going so far? I am at a month and 3 weeks since he received my stone (Approved CADs at this point and waiting for casting to come back supposedly 2 weeks ago) . Good thing I’m not in a hurry.:lol::lol:

I've got you beat: six months for one, four months for another. o_O

I’m not complaining or talking ill about him in anyway, btw. I know he is a one man show and is super busy.

Has he given you reasons for the delay???
 
The longest I've had to wait was about a month, but it wasn't a complicated piece. We're in communication right now about an art deco style hexagon ring and a simple earring project. There isn't a hurry for my pieces, so we'll see how long they take to complete.
 
I sent him a message last night as I've been waiting 2 months for a cad ( he has the stones). He said he's gotten some help and plans to get better with turnaround times. I hope so as I'm getting backlogged with stones I want him to set ! :shock:

"I'm almost done with the CAD." :lol-2: I'm over being bothered by it. I just laugh now. I mean, what can I do? I just check-in every now & then, and I'm obviously not in any rush. For some reason, I'm not upset about it. Must be the "new me."

I have been waiting see if he would get caught up before sending him more stone. I now see i have to get in line and wait
 
I have been waiting over10 weeks for a CAD revision , and he had my stone since April.
 
Custom citrine ring. I supplied the asscher cut citrine. He supplied the small diamonds which we put in trapezoid shape for a lower budget option. I shipped him an amethyst which arrive on July 1 and I don't have a CAD yet.

Gorgeous! I love the double prongs.

My word that's a gorgeous stone! And love the ring!!

I’m close to your record, I’m at 5 months now. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone who works with silver locally for a reasonable price, and I wouldn’t do this project in gold so I will just have to patiently wait.

Exactly, the price cant be beat near me, so I wait!

I love this. Step cuts are one of my favorites especially in colored gems.
 
These are diamonds but as there’s not a SMTB thread for him

SMTB is for everything not just diamonds ;) It’s a lovely band!!
 

Lovely! I'm planning a very similar 3 stone with a blue/green sapphire center (by Dan). I've never had prong set by him, what do you think of the prong work?
