That really looks great. I am very impressed with your taste in both the stone selection and the setting. That last photo that shows a few colors at once is just stunning. Thanks for sharing! I know it must be so exciting to get something like that after dreaming about it for so long, and to have it turn out so well is just a bonus! :wavey:

Thx so much for all the kind comments. I am sitting in an airport awaiting my connection, and couldn't help but snap a quick picture of the gorgeous green color it was boasting this morning. Uploading from mobile so apologies if it looks huge.

God I love this ring! :love:

Darn, that didn't even come close! The green coloring of the stone is so much more vivid & better looking in person, and so hard to capture in pictures.

Many many congratulations on your beautiful ring. I know it took a long time in the making but you gave it so much thought and the design really reflects what you said you liked in your "thinking through" posts. I'm so pleased for you and I'm also pleased that we have another Alex lover now! :dance:

Oh, be still, my heart!
I've always been fascinated with Alexandrite and can definitely see why you were so taken with this stone.
Congratulations on setting it beautifully, wear it in much happiness and good health!

Well stay tuned ... You're about to see another one hopefully tomorrow evening. :naughty:

Poppyseed is a true angel to work with, and I am very happy with the quality. I had two rings in production with Amcor at the same time, and she has been truly delightful to work with, and really understood my wishes and ensured they were executed.

Fabulous ring in every way! Neither the stills nor the video compare with your photos in my mind and this gem of a ring will no doubt prove to be endlessly fascinating for the rest of your life.

Definitely colour me green with envy =) Congratulations on this stunner :))

It's beautiful! Alexandrite is on my "some day" wish list (also my hubby's birthstone). The setting is really nice, too. :appl: :appl:
