#JOTW "Autumn" ring is a season late, but finally finished.

[Autumn in New England]

So sorry for the loss of your friend. The amount of care that you transferred to this amazing piece shows through.

Thank you, honey. What a beautiful thing to say... I swear we have the loveliest community here.

Indirect natural light:









In front of the window (it's almost 5p here, so not great light for warm stones):





Direct sun:



And finally, here's a hideous shot under criminally offensive bathroom lighting:

Fabulous! The vendor's pics showed the autumnal harmony and glow. These pics show the golden glitter as well. I've never seen yellow diamonds used so effectively - it's the contrast between the different shades that does the trick.

This is so beautiful. The colors compliment each other perfectly. I love the size on your finger.
Glad you are back. I am so sorry for your loss.

I wish the center stone were a giant orange diamond.

Thank you, ladies!! I lost my dearest friend (and former partner) of 24 years this past July in an accident. I was an absolute mess for months, so it was a terrible holiday season. I'm just coming out of the fog now. For a while there, I thought I'd have to be hospitalized, it was that bad. Trying to think of him and smile now, rather than cry. So I started working on this piece to distract myself. It really lifted my spirits... so does being here with you guys!!

Dear @Autumn in New England i am deeply sorry to hear about your terrible loss. I see your beautiful, harmonious ring is a metaphor for your healing. It seems alive, full of light, warmth and richness. Sending you hugs from Singapore.

So sad to hear about your bereavement, I do hope the loss gets easier to bear over time, those first months are horrific - I found it especially hard when waking up in the morning and remembering all over again.

But very very grateful you’ve posted your beautiful creation - I’ve been waiting for this for so long and you did not disappoint!

I’ve missed you on the forum, although I have been a lot less active myself due to ridiculous work load. Nice to see you back.

Your words really touched me, Ionysis. The support means a lot, truly. That you've been through something similar is terribly sad, but I'm grateful we can all comfort each other and heal together. I've missed you all too... I hope you check in more often as well!!

Hello all!

It's been a while, friends. I hope everyone is well! DK just completed this ring, so I wanted to quickly share. Some of you might remember seeing my composite and CAD several months back. At center is a 12x9mm untreated orangey-brown zircon. The inner halo and band have white diamonds, and the outer halo is a combo of 2 and 2.5mm diamonds in the shades cognac, amber, olive, and bronze (which is a sort of brassy shade). The ring is 18k yellow gold and the leaves are 14k rose gold and platinum. If it doesn't fit, I'm SOL and JWF (as George Carlin used to say). But we made a 3D printed model first to be sure, so fingers crossed.

Autumn

A work of art…

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I wish the center stone were a giant orange diamond.

but then it wouldn't be brown and know we know that brown can rock as well as any other colour
and congardulations on JOTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is true! Brown does need some love!!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

This is true! Brown does need some love!!

plus your favorite horse is brown !
when i was a kid a lot of my friends had horses
they always used up their brown felt pens first
i, with no horse tended to use up that greeny-brown one

shame ! i just googled and the colours look all different now
not nearly enough brown for the horse mad and no funny browny-green for me

Just getting around to seeing this lovely piece...I'm so sorry for your loss @Autumn in New England . We never can be prepared
to lose those who have had such a big influence on our lives. I hope as you move forward that the pain lessens and that you are

The ring...what can I say! The colors are amazing and all the different textures speak to me. I feel like I could stare at it all day and
notice something different I hadnt seen before. Truly a piece to treasure for many reasons.

Wishing you peace @Autumn in New England
