These are so gorgeous!!! Wow! Thanks for posting!
Hi goldenfire,
Do you have a thread on your avatar photo? The color is stunning...hoping for more details/photos on it.
tyty
This. Definitely.
I'm afraid I don't remember if I posted this before because I'm not here very often anymore. In any case, David made this for me for my birthday last year. I had the Tanga garnet (7.5 mm) from Barry and I was holding on to it until I found just the right setting. David hit the nail on the head with this beauty. The yellow gold is buttery and rich looking and the diamonds are David's G VS. Even the back is pretty.
Thank you!! The diamond bow was actually a promise ring/anniversary present from my husband when we were dating. They were my first diamonds. But I am super hard on my jewelry so after a few years, the ribbon ends were getting bent. I decided that I would love to put the bow in a pendant to keep it safer and I love antique style so my first thought was the Victorian bow and heart motif. I love the engraving too. I think David did a wonderful job with interpreting my inspiration.
Do you have pics of the side profile of the solitaire?Thought I'd add a couple of downwards/face up shots of my DK set.
- Solitaire - 3.61ct I VS2 with diamond in donut and in back of band.
Eternity - 2.68ctw, stones ideal cut, G/H
Set is in 18kt yellow gold.
ETA Center stone is from Blue Nile - not a Signature cut - just one from their regular stock list.
@goldenfire the emeralds are 2.4 ctw and each measures 6.5x6.5x4.8. The diamonds are 1.0 mm in diameter.gorgeous!!! Do you have an earshot? And what are the measurements of the emeralds? These are so amazing!
Gorgeous photo!!!@goldenfire the emeralds are 2.4 ctw and each measures 6.5x6.5x4.8. The diamonds are 1.0 mm in diameter.
I don't yet have an earshot but here's another photo
That is ADORABLE! What a cute idea!

It looks awesome! I love how it turned out. That engraving.
Btw, white gold seriously pops against your skin tone...gorgeous!
Here is my 1.24 ctw 5 stone trellis reset project, size 6.75 for reference. The stones are from a pendant my MIL gifted me. SimoneDi recommended David and I am thrilled with the outcome. He estimates they are 3mm L SI2-I1. I haven’t looked at them under a loupe and am not going to, I need to love them just how they are and can’t easily see inclusions so I’m leaving it alone. I was shocked when he told me they were an L, I’ve never seen in person lower than an H so I must not be too color sensitive as they look just a little warm to my eye. These are warmer and the cut and clarity very different than what I’m used to but they are set so beautifully and I just love them. The setting David made is absolutely beautiful and I wouldn’t change anything. I work in healthcare and need it to be low set and the prongs not to get caught on anything when I’m wearing gloves. It’s absolutely perfect and so comfortable. My MIL is thrilled and I’m going to love wearing it. These are my glamour shots and a few of my own although I am awful at hand shots.

David just completed two more projects for me (this is my "project completion" year) and I'm very happy with the finished pieces. First is a band set with yogo sapphires in white gold that I had made for stacking. And next is my little M color antique pear set in 18k YG with two small OEC's for side stones. I thought engraving the bezels would make it a bit different than anything I already had and give the pear which is only .83 cts a bit more substance. I'm very happy with both of them and David was, as usual, very easy to work with and very reasonable.
I know this is a really REALLY old post, but can you tell me if the YG 3 stone pear/OEC has a satin finish or if it’s just regular 18k YG and the engraving is what makes it look different. I’m trying to decide between 14k and 18k and regular or satin finish. It is absolutely stunning!!! DKs work never disappoints.
