I just started getting the details together and submitting my materials order for my Grossular ring. I'm getting the JKT version of my e-ring with my Grossular in 18k yellow gold. She has some fabulous ideas, so I'm really excited to get this one started. It, too, should be ready on or before 12/18.

And the settings for the aqua and afghan tourmaline asschers should be here soon.

Ooh I can't wait to see this! I love your e-ring LPT - I bet the garnet is going to be stunning.

You guys have tons of projects going on - how fun! I have a new project (besides the key) coming up...involving something blue!

LG, Novel and AJ-I''m sorry about all the crap with the mail! I''m glad AJ''s is back from the Land of Nowhere and on it''s way to Julia finally, so here''s hoping the others will be soon too!

And to you Secret McMystery Keepers..how do you do it? I''m too much of a blabbermouth to stay mum. Maybe b/c you guys''ve done it way more than my zero times and trust your own judgment by now haha?
OMG I was sold fake, fake gold and silver. The silver necklace is plastic and the gold necklace I suspect is brass! I am so angry!

That''s beautiful! I really hope the other one eventually makes its way to you!

I think I''m buying a couple Hen Eggs from Sally - one in rose quartz and one in amethyst. They''ll be Christmas gifts for my two best friends back home.

I''m also going to my jewelers tomorrow - I have a new stone to set!

lol thanks. I was on the phone with my mom when julia sent the message. I screamed when I saw the pictures! my poor mother...lol

I got to see the ring on Julias hands, and the though substantial its amazingly dainty. 18k gold/argentium silver with two small 1 point diamonds. Its quite the Faery Queens Ring

hehee... good detective work.. its a recycled project from my eternity five pointer band, I lost one diamond so I had 17 left, I was going to reset into a bezel eternity but I decided to contact sally and she's making me a wide wedding band with her maiden rope design (anything that has little circle or beads on the sketch will contain my diamonds) that she said she's been wanting to do so I'll give you a sneak peek
2.gif
(although its not gemstone related) well as I returned my scattered band back to WF, I really loved the look and still wanted one, it just so happen that I almost pulled the trigger on another scatterd band, when Sally contacted me and said she couldn't do all 17 stones in the paisley star ring for me, and that she could make a leftover something for me, Since I've been swooning over the scattered look and the Tiffany Bezet band, I asked her to make a domed scatterd/bezet band for me using my leftover diamonds from the the recycled paisley star ring that's not completed yet.

Thanks Cindy, D&T, & Jstar. Everything I''ve seen of JKT''s work has been phenominal. Jstar, I''m sure you''re getting pretty antsy by now!


My hubby who is not in the jewlery by any means told me just from looking at the pics that he really likes this ring. In fact he''d like to do a set.
36.gif
As long as he''s paying, Game on! *lol*

If I have her do another it will not be until February next year. Y''all have her so booked up!


AJ, I''ve seen the top part, though not a very good picture of it. You can''t see the leaves from the top...at least not directly. I should have the ring by Tuesday/Wedesday, so will certainly be taking a multitude of pictures then.
