Thanks SanDiegoLady, MakingTheGrade, Skippy123, Porridge, Fly Girl, tourmaline_lover I told Julia that we''d talk about another next year.

MTG, it was very much worth the wait. Matter of fact, I''m still wearing it

JKT and I had talked about this ring for probably a month...lol there was a lot of back and forth and changing of the pictures. She''s so accomodating that way and she also will update you as to where she is in the process. That type of customer service made the wait not to terrible.

We had talked about going with 22K gold on the head but decided to not in favor of the 18 which was good with me from a cost perspective.

The ring is quite substantial and heavy considering how petite it is. The stone is also quite petite so to keep everything in perspective and to not shrink the leaves, Julia added another piece around the bezel. That said, the head of the ring nearly fits underneath my thumbnail!

The leaves was something I really really wanted for this ring. I wanted it have an organic feel to it, and as dainty as they are, they soley support the head of this ring.

Though I used a lot of fall props (well I AM in New England

), I think the ring will also be wearable in the summer as well. I tend to wear lots of orange then for some reason.


The only thing I didn''t anticipate (though I like) was the stone color changing like it did.

A very unique ring. I really like the color of the stone. I LOVE the handshots and think that the ring looks best on your hand, although it looks very very nice in some of it''s glamor shots. But really it belongs on your hand. Enjoy!!!

Gorgeous! Julia said that finishing yours inspired her to work on mine because some of the design elements are similar. I''m glad it turned out so well!

Thanks Sarahbear621, packrat, joy2theworld, Stone Hunter, dancingflame, and jstarfireb!



Sarah, I really have to give Julia a lot of credit. Sure I added some design elements of my own (she does encourage that),but once she saw the stone she brought it all together. The leaves were a must have for me, so she worked around that.

Stone Hunter, this ring loves to be worn so I totally agree with you. A custom ring should fit the wearers personality. I think this one fits me to a T

I remember seeing your ring and thinking how similar it was to mine. Your zircon is going to be absolutely crazy awesome, can''t wait to see it

I love the little leaves holding up the stone, it really makes it flow and look "grown" as opposed to made.

MonkeyPie, thats a comment that just makes my day! This ring really FEELS alive.

Maybe thats why I don't want to take it off!

Firey, just the FYI since you have a kissing cousin stone. They can be quite moody but soooo much fun to wear, and if you haven't already found out by now, it will absolutely GLOW in low light! (but of course, capturing that on camera is nearly impossible..lol) I think you're really going to have fun with it!

Thanks so much to everyone for the lovely compliments to my ring! Julia's daughter called this ring a Faeries Ring and she was right!

LG, I''ve also got a softspot for pears. I feel like they''re so under rated! That said, all my pears will require custom settings
39.gif


Mr Ma re, I''ve yet to see a spess on here I didn''t really like! I tend to rebel and go with the more firely reds because they do look much better against my skintone. The ones that lean closer to yellow don''t do a thing for my skintone
38.gif
but they can sure be pretty!

blingy and MT this particular spess is really special as it was an anniversary gift from hubby. that and everyones spess stashes here is what started the hunger for spess unfortunately.

But I think I''m done (unless I see another I just can''t live without lol).
