I just love seeing this on your hand finally! It is soooo beautiful. Just perfect on you. I hope it is everything you dreamed and more!
Congrats on JOTW!!

Unwrapping Clover in a room full of wood paneling may not have been my best move but she sure is pretty...
(Besides, my one hand game is on point).

Oh!!! Thanks for letting us peek in on this. And yes such stable hands!! Super impressed by that too. Congrats on JOTW!

joelly · Nov 13, 2020

Just walking around my house today wearing this fabulous ring (and my PJ’s).

I love how bright and sparkly the AVC is! It’s shooting off so many rainbow colors.

I tried to catch some of that rainbow sparkle in a video.

lissyflo · Nov 14, 2020

It’s absolutely beautiful! The combination of the emerald halo with your warm centre is perfect. Congrats on your labour of love!

So so so so pretty! May she bring you lots of luck and good fortune!

PS, that milgrain bezel setting is the PERFECT thinness!!!

Thank you! I wanted it to have delicate features including the thin bezel around the emeralds and a thin semi cup around the diamond.
PS. She’s making me feel pretty darn lucky right now.

It’s beyond gorgeous. It’s just perfect. Looks so beautiful on and I just love it so much.

Thank you so much! I’ve been wearing all day...even though I’m at home in my PJ’s. Totally worth it.

Aw, thank you.

I wanted you all to be part of it with me so an unboxing video made perfect sense. I love how Clover looks on my hand. It was definitely meant to be.

Thank you so much! You were a huge help to me and it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did without your helpful input. This really is a dream ring for me.

Thank you.

I’ve seen a lot of people calling it unique and I hadn’t really thought of it that way... but I am excited to have something that’s so uniquely me.

Ha, I hadn’t thought of that. That is cool.

I can’t get over how much I love her.

Thank you. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it but you’re writing is beautiful.
I absolutely adore your word usage.

Thank you. I can only imagine what David and his team had to go through to make this baby a reality. That man is a magician.

Thank you! I just love how it turned out. I too love warm toned diamonds... especially with vintage cuts. They just seem to go hand in hand to me. That doesn’t mean I’d say no to a higher color diamond some day though.

Simply stunning.

I have to agree. DK and team did an amazing job. I was on pins and needles wondering if it would turn out like I’d envisioned. When they sent me the video, I jumped around and did a happy dance. I love it!

I’m glad you enjoyed my reveal video. I wanted to make you guys are part of it.

I took a lot of time working on the shapes I wanted for the emerald halo. Especially with the crescent shaped pieces and the outside emeralds on the left and right sides (I wanted them pretty much round on the outer edge to fit my design). Once I nailed down the CADs, the rest was in the hands of David Klass and his team. Each emerald is cut one at a time to make sure that it fits into the setting and that it matches the other emeralds. I wish I could be more help but that’s the extent of my knowledge on it. The best thing I did was leaving it in the extremely capable hands of my jeweler. I did ask that they be good color / quality but that’s it.

Oh, I will say one more thing. Custom cut gems take a very long time to be completed. Patience is key.

I finally got a pic outside.

I‘m being completely honest when I say that I’m obsessed with this ring. It is everything I could have hope for...and more. I freaking LOVE it! That emerald halo is everything!
