How about this: The first DBL branded stone to be set, and it's done by the super skilled hands of our "uber-factory"


Look at the precision on the side cuts where the diamonds are set.




Check this out....to make the piece more..old fashioned(?) we used single cuts for all the micro-setting work



I noticed something super cool in the photos....the DBL Laser inscription reflects off a facet and can be seen in the photos

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! 

Videos too!!!!  I am in love *sigh*

Firstly that is pure sexy right there..I don't think I have seen better workmanship anywhere...and secondly I saw the reflections in the photos too just on my monitor!  That's so cool!!!!

I would love to see one of these luscious yellow beauties with matching cut white side stones as a three stone ring.  Pure heaven!

I'd give your right foot too. On second thoughts, trying it on just requires a couple of days off and a ticket to NYC, so I'll spare your foot and buy a ticket (I need to go and pick up a few things anyway...)

I really like the single cut melée - I wish more pieces were set with it, particularly where the stones are very small: although the cutting processes are now so advanced that producing full-cut high-quality stones of 1 mm or below is "easy", the facets become too small and in my opinion something of the consistency in looks is lost.

The piece below has full cut diamonds until about half-way through, then they are single cuts. Because the facet size remains roughly constant throughout, the look is - in my view - better than if the maker had used all full cuts

Rock crystal (quartz), etched and carved. Here is the full leaf. Circa 1950, US made and marked "Tiffany", but not sure it is. Amazingly, all the tips except one (at the very bottom of the image) are there after 60 years.

What a gorgeous brooch, OMC!  I wouldn't have ever noticed the one missing tip had you not mentioned it.  After all, how often DO you find a perfect leaf?  The repair work to smooth the broken edge was really well done.  I can't see any difference in the finish - not even the slightest bearding, if that would be the proper term.

wives - PLURAL?  If you're going for multiples OMC - can I sign up too?

Ummm....is anyone else getting blank boxes with the red x instead of pictures or is this just a problem with my computer?

 

When I'm not on VPN everything works fine. Clearly my employer has different thoughts about what's "work"...

No gelatos in sight, I am afraid. The best translation I can give is "A Gallehault indeed, that apostrophe and she who (didn't) write it, too".

In Italian, the original sentence is "galeotto fu il libro, e chi lo scrisse". For some context on the original reference (in English) - here is the whole story: http://www.wisdompor...Paolo-Francesca.html

Well shucks, OMC.  If you aren't up for a harem, you can pimp my ride, or my fingers, my neck, my jacket - whatever.  ...Just so long as Mrs. OMC is cool with it!

OMC you never fail to amaze me with your knowledge no matter what it is.

I still would love a nice chocolate gelato now

THAT is SO COOL! It is so DBL.
