I was thinking that maybe I should just keep all of this a secret until I have it in my hands due to the supposed "impatience" of everyone here, but nah. I'll bring you guys with me through the process.

So. Bought the Asha on Monday. Arrived today. Wow. Gorgeous.

Went into David Klass' shop (I live about 45 minutes from the LA Jewelry District). I had already contacted him once in regards to a custom quote, and though I changed my design significantly, he didn't mind. 30 minutes later as I left, I felt AWESOME about letting him work on the ring. Not only did he really take his time with me, explaining any and all questions I had, but his other stuff was pretty breathtaking; even for the uber-perfectionist that I am. Oh, and again, he quoted me about half what other companies wanted.

So...yeah. Haven't even gotten a CAD design yet, but I'm freaking excited, and as of right now, my initial impression is extremely favorable. We'll see what happens when I hold the ring in my hand in about 3 weeks...

=D

Congratulations! We're so excited for you!!! I LOVE my Asha and everything I've seen David do for folks on this forum is top-notch, fantastic craftmanship!

I am only impatient when waiting for my own stuff so I am totally cool with watching other peoples projects unfold!

I look forward to the results!

Fantastic! It's great to see a project come to life, and even better too see you so excited by the process.

Now that you've spilled the beans, we'll be looking for those CADS!

Wonderful! I'm sure the ring will be sheer perfection. Any of DK's work I've seen on the boards is outstanding. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Yay!! Congratulations on your asha purchase and choosing David Klass for your ring design!

Can't wait for the finished product
