This is my new beautiful ring from Heart of Waters on etsy! It was inspired by a Caleb Meyer design, I absolutely loved the hand forged designs made by the Meyers but their settings were out of my price range. I already had 3 old mine cut diamonds and just needed to find a reasonably priced setting for them. I knew I wanted a three stone bezel ring and I actually saw some recommendations for heart of waters here, on priceline! I looked them up on etsy and was so pleasantly surprised that they could make me a beautiful, hand forged setting, with the design elements I wanted, all for under $1000!! The owner of the shop, Sally, has been very nice to work with and they are a wonderful shop, I even sent them my antique stones to set in the ring! They just finished a few days ago and I am so excited to get the ring and see it in person! It looks beautiful and I am very happy with how it turned out! I'll update with hand pics once the ring arrives! I hope everyone who sees this enjoys the seek peak of my new wedding ring! I'm already in love with it!

That is SO beautiful!!! :love: That vendor is outside of the US, right? Was there a way to insure your diamonds when sent to her?

Thank you! They are in thailand, you can insure your package but I did registered mail and they arrived safe and sound! It is a little nerve racking sending priceless stones out of the country but their quality of work and overall experience made it worth it!

Very pretty, it looks different enough from a Meyer piece to be unique but still have the same style.

I love the way it turned out! It's definitely similar to JM but different at the same time :appl:

Thank you for all the kind words! I agree, it has the Meyer style yet a little different! They did a great job, I'm sure it will look even better in person! I can't wait to get it on my finger!

Any good wedding band suggestions?? Im thinking just a simple thin band. I don't want anything to compete with the ring...I did find a vintage orange blossom ring with a groove in the middle, 2mm. I should prob wait to get it on my hand to make any band decisions though lol!

I love this ring! It also reminds me of Megan Thorne's designs, which I also love. :love:

What about a beaded band that would pick up the beaded ends on the scroll work? Something like these two here. The first is a ring on Amazon in white gold (but comes in any color). The second is from Brilliant Earth, in yellow. Both are 1.7mm.
