MT - I wasn''t sure at first, but the more I look at your ring, the more I like it. Now I really like it. The stones are beautiful, and the design is unusual without being weird. Is there another flower on the other side of the colored stones? I would love to see a more "head-on" shot", and will definitely be looking for you over in SMTR. Congratulations on a wonderful, special ring (it''s great that it''s engraved) and 2 precious children. Hmmm, I have 4 children; I wonder what you would come up with for that...

Let''s start with the link to the SMTR thread and more pictures!!!
link to SMTR thread Here''s the link to the designer Annette Tillander click here cellentani thankyou, I really appreciate your comments here too. I think exactly like you, it''s unusual without being weird (although I do think many people see it as clunky and weird too). There is another flower on the other side and it''s slightly different in size. This designer really knows what she''s doing. I''m pretty sure she''d come up with something for four children, as she herself has four children and has made a ring to symbolize them. I''ll see if I can find the picture. But whatever will I do with this ring if we ever have more children (not in the plans but you can''t plan everything, can you?) ![]() ![]() ![]() Kismet Thankyou for your comment. Yes I have a boy and a girl, and you guessed right I wanted traditional symbolism on this one, although I also like to think outside the box. There are more pictures behind the link in the other thread in Show Me The Ring, I''d be delighted if you popped in to have a look.arjunajane Thankyou. I think it''s really romantic, it pleases the poem writing flower gilr in me. I included a link to the designer in this post. I recommend her highly if you like this style, she is great in every way. mochi Thankyou. I''m glad you like it. My toddler is so sweet, and Daddy is his hero, which is so touching to watch. I think he''ll like my next project, upgrading my wedding ring. Then his Dad gets his own gemstone. Of course then Mom needs her own gemstone ring too, right? ![]() ![]()

You know, and she''s really nice to work with as well. She has a gift of being able to take the client''s ideas and turning them into beautiful designs in her own distinctive style. A true artist, but also great with clients. |

I had a lot of ideas and drawings, and they helped me explain what I wanted. This is actually the last of four different designs. I liked this the most and it fit my budget. The others were really nice with leaves and vines, but more special occasion rings. This one I''ll wear every day, although carefully. So it all worked out. (Would looooooooooove to see the other designs realized, though). |

Thankyou Chrono. When I had gotten the ring and had it a few hours, at some point I had a moment when I thought it looked odd. Then I liked it again. I wish I could show a video of it. Photographs don''t show all the beautiful asymmetrical details that complement each other. A three dimensional model might, but the designer is old school, so I don''t have oneof those. I really like the flowers too, without them I think the oddness would become pronounced. There is such a fine line between art and originality for originality''s sake, in my opinion. The shank of the ring goes like a delicate vine on the finger, starting higher on one side and going lower on the other. The flowers are made in two different sizes, one bigger than the other, and the sapphires are tilted towards the fingers. All of these details are what makes it kind of like a miniature sculpture in my mind
