Omg the bottom right ring is incredible! Do you mind sharing the source? Such a unique and cool design
Well let’s see what it looks like in person. I’ll post pictures when it gets here
It’s here! I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised at how nice this diamond is, it has definite personality and it shimmers despite being so small. It likes to reflect color, in the second picture it was reflecting my pink phone case. The last one was taken in very low light so
The rings themselves are tiny tiny 5 1/2, my initial plan was to scrap the setting and band but they are rather nice and weighty at 4 1/2 grams.
I tried to take really good
pictures for you guys. We are having a major snowstorm here so I can’t get any outside shots.
Also going off what @stracci2000 says, sometimes I wish that PSers would be less discreet about revealing the cost of their settings . I totally understand why they wouldn't want to reveal prices, but often I am quite curious to know so that I might know what to expect if I go to a particular designer. I had an idea to set some cheapie stones, and the quote I got was close to 1500 for 10k gold. Yikes! A couple of years back I put some tourmalines in a pendant and my local person charged $600 for a heavy 14k setting. So it can be wildly different...
Yes......why the secrecy?
Just tell us what David Klass charges.
Yes! I'm always too intimidated to enquire because I assume it's going to be too much.
I can tell you that from DK I got a quote for 1500 for a platinum setting, which I thought was very reasonable. I'm not able to do it at this time so it's for a future project and I never got drawings or anything; just the quote. So when I had this idea for using my cheaper stones to make a simpler ring, I was really surprised when the quote was the same (it was the same that I was talking about above with 10k gold). When I asked him (as delicate in a manner as possible) why a 10k gold would cost so much more, he said it's because of the custom work part. He said if I looked at his IG and saw a design that my stones might work with, then it would cost less bc the design is already made. I guess the design idea I was sending him was a "start from scratch" scenario. But even with the platinum one, I hadn't chosen a pre-made design. So perhaps it was similar to something else he already made? I don't know. I hope that can be helpful!
Oh how fun!! I would be tempted to size it up and wear it as is! I don’t think you have a yellow gold wedding set, right?
