Van Craeynest Diamond Band

[iluvcarats]

I posted this a few weeks back, but I think it was hidden in the VC thread.
I am posting it here to celebrate the talent of Larry Van Craeynest.
I am so thrilled with this ring, and consider a piece of art.
I know that Larry doesn''t cast anything.
This particular ring is chased.
Specs:
20 x .10 carats
set in platinum
with 18k chased gold sides
7mm wide

Thank you Goodsoul! It is easy to fall in love with VC, isn''t it?
Here is a hand shot, although not very good b/c this is a RHR, but unfortunately I am not ambidextrous, and needed my right hand to take the picture. The ring is a whole size too big for my left hand.

I hope you get a VC band soon!
