Julia 3 stone ring complete!!

[cellentani]

Well, shut my mouth - that does look good!! That design flows beautifully, and doesn''t look weird at all. I love how the bezels on the side stones are cut away. And I think you''ve got everyone here wanting one of those keys! Have a wonderful birthday with your new trinkets!

 

[geckodani]

Wow! That looks great! It flows beautifully, and I really like the yellow gold bezels!

 

[innerkitten]

Wow thats beautiful! I really like the combo. What''s her price range like?

 

[QueenB29]

I had the same question: do you mind sharing how much the custom ring was?

It''s simply beautiful. I love how you have three different stones and they all flow together. Amazing workmanship.

Happy Birthday!

AJ: I LOVE it!!! It turned out beautiful. I love the design, love everything about it. What a wonderful job she did. I can''t wait to see it on your hand.

 

[arjunajane]

Thanks so much everyone for the compliments and well wishes, I
really appreciate them

For I.K and QueenB, I''m not really comfortable in quoting exact prices,
but Julia has mentioned to me a range of ~$170 for more basic silver settings,
through to ~$350 for bi-metal, something a little more complex.

I''ve found her very reasonable for the level of service and craftsmanship,
plus she was willing to work with me on a strict budget I had, so honestly I would just ask her.
She really is a perfectionist, and keeps very high standards on her work.

Hope that helps

icekid - ooohh, you''re bad!

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Gorgeous ring!! I adore the colors!

I also looove the shots of the ring being made! Such a fun way to see everything from beginning to end!!

It's just gorgeous. AJ, when I got my Mom's Julia ring and openned the box, John and I BOTH gasped. Even after the pics. It was so delicate and fluid and beautiful. I can't wait to hear about your reaction when you get your box, because I think you are just going to be as amazed at we were, how even AFTER pics, the real thing is JUST THAT MUCH NICER.

I can't thank MTG enough for the recommendation.

And AJ I love the diferrent stones all in that band. It's just stunning. HUGE congrats on the job honey.

 

[chrono]

AJ,
Thanks for the price range; it gives us a fair idea of what to expect for certain metals should we consider Julia’s work. It seems very reasonable for custom work.

 

[Gailey]

Well who would have thought that three such random stones could look so good together. And I just love the yellow gold bezel around your tourmaline AJ. It''s a gorgeous ring, congratulations.

I am seeing a number of Julia projects in my future now.

Happy Birthday and congratulations on your dream job!

Congrats on the job, you so deserve it. Beautiful ring, a great materialization of the scetch. Much more beautiful than I expected. An original in every way, and knowing me and my pieces you know I mean it in an appreciative way, don''t you

Can''t wait to see handshots!

 

[mochi]

I think it turned out really well. Beautiful

 

[blingergrrrl]

Wow, beautiful, modern and antique-ish all at the same time. What a wonderful ring. Yum-yum

!

 

[Stone Hunter]

The ring turned out GREAT. Very fluid look to it. She really pulled the different stones together.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the job!!

 

[arjunajane]

Thankyou so much everyone for your kind compliments, b''day and job wishes!


Gypsy - that''s great to hear about your mum''s ring. Julia sounded like she wanted
to keep this one with her, lol, so I''m confident I will be blown away like you when I get to open the box

I didn''t really think of it at the time, but it seems like most folks thought these 3 stones together were a gamble - I do think with many other jewellers we may not have had such a great result! cheers hon!


Chrono - my pleasure. I do think she''s very reasonable, and I know she is sensitive to budgets too which is nice

Hey SDL ! Pls see post above for price ranges from Julia

I agree it would make a nice original mothers ring.

ha ha Mariedtiger, I do know what you mean and thought this could be right up your alley - thankyou

Thankyou everyone who''s commented, my apologies I don''t have much time atm to reply to all individually, but I have read and appreciate them all!
