luckynumber, MTG, packrat, Indylady, Maisie, portia, crasu, BEG, Catmom, Burberrygirl, akmiss and oddoneout--Thank you so much for your lovely compliments! This ring came to me by chance and I just fell in love!
Innerkitten--I love the pup''s paw too. He did NOT want to hold still for me to take a photo. Thank you!
Laila--nah. This is one of a few RHRs I have. I have this one, a green tourmaline and a pink tourmaline that used to belong to my mom.
TL--I think of it as being my princess ring, because it IS so feminine and delicate!
Lovinggems--I took a picture of all of my erings on one hand...coming soon to a thread near you!
Chrono--I swear it looks so much more obnoxiously ornate in the pics. I didn''t even realize there was milgrain around the surprise diamonds until I saw these pics! It''s sitting on an antique beaded box that my aunt gave me. She had decided long ago that I had started an antique box collection, and I kept getting them. I do love this one though, and it stays on my nighstand.
Monkeypie--We shall hang out soon enough. I actually just got one of those bendy gorillapod things and the stability has helped SO MUCH. before I''d take soooo many more pictures and get not very good results...
Oh Freke what a superb makeover for the setting. It''s amazing how different it looks with the garnet and the spinel. I greatly prefer it with the spinel - they look made for each other. Incredibly pretty and I also love your description of how the spinel spoke to you!!!
