Spessertite by Adzia

[Upgradable]

It turned out more beautiful than I could imagine! This is my Jeff White spessertite garnet in an 18k yellow gold swirl mounting designed and created by Adzia's Jewelry Atelier. Here are the pictures. It should arrive Saturday or Monday. You can be sure that I will post a bazillion pictures when it comes.

I really really really love it!!!

Wow, the color of the spess is even more beautiful now that its set. I love the swirly wirly gold setting and the double prongs. I bet you can't wait until its in your hot little hands!

 

[Arkteia]

Beautiful stone! Orange as orange can be! And a beautiful ring!

 

[anythingorange]

It's lovely. The design is so fluid and showcases your beautiful stone very well. Can't wait to see the bazillion photos!

OH its GORGEOUS What a fabulous job they did. I love the color of the Spessartite. What a lucky lady you are.

I have got to contact them about settings. I have been very impressed with the pieces you have from them.

Gorgeous! I so love Adzia's designs!

 

[stargurl78]

Wow that turned out beautifully! I love the yellow gold with your bright orange stone

 

[bright ice]

Upgradable, would you mind giving me a ballpark of what this setting cost? I would be very interested in having one similar when I buy a Spessartite. I just love it.

JUST GORGEOUS!! Nice spess and beautiful fret work on the setting, Upgradeable! Looks spectacular!!

 

[GemFever]

Wow, what a ring! I'll echo bright ice: I want a similar one too! It's beautiful. Congrats!

It's really beautiful, the metal work is just awesome as well as the aesthetics of the whole piece. Congratulations!!

 

[Upgradable]

Thank you all for the compliments. I can't wait to see how it looks on my hand! As for cost, it was just over 1k, considering the cost of gold to have the thing made for a size 8.5. I'd expect a smaller size, and 14k, would be much under that.

Speechless! The scrollwork is beautifully done. Pricing also sounds reasonable. Would you recommend them for custom work?

 

[Upgradable]

I would absolutely recommend Adzia! She's a one woman show, so the initial design process takes a bit longer than she estimates. However, the creation is lightening fast! From the time we agreed upon the final design until she sent the finished pictures was one week! This is the fourth project I've done with her, and I'm sure I'll do another!

Back for another look. (Okay, maybe it's my fifth or sixth look.)

Upgradable, is there a thread about your Spess? It's really beautiful!

 

[Upgradable]

Orange, here is the thread about the acquisition of the spess. It was a long and convoluted process!

That's quite a story! I'm glad it worked out so favorably for you in the end.

Looking forward to more photos!

That's reasonable considering the price of gold at 18K and the labor involved.

I agree - I was shocked that it was that low! Yay for Uppy!

 

[pregcurious]

Your spess looks amazing, and I love the prongs. You've convinced me that yellow gold looks best with orange.

 

[Upgradable]

I just got the tracking notice that it will be in (maybe "on" would be a better descriptor) my hot little hand!

Woo-hoo!!

Charge your camera battery! We want *lots* of pics!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Just beautiful! The yellow gold is such a compliment to your spess. Enjoy! And post more pics too.

 

[Upgradable]

Here are some pictures. The ring is beautiful, but I have some issues with the prongs. I doesn't look like much attention was paid to them during the finishing the process. I'll be sending it back to make it as close to "perfect" as it can be.

 

[Upgradable]

Last three

Hand shots!! I like your photos better than the vendor's, you can really appreciate the buttery yellow of the gold, and the substantial amount of metal. Sorry about the prongs, but it's really a lovely ring!!

 

[Upgradable]

Thanks, TL. Adzia has already talked to me about the prongs, and I'll be sending it back to her for a little refining. I've got to say.... orange is a beach of a color to photograph. I'll try to get some handshots before sending it off.

 

[Enerchi]

Had to check out the "orange ****" over on this thread too
What are the prong issues? Do you have a macro shot to share? Are they not symmetrical or holding the stone properly?

It is a BEAUTY!!!
