Bored senseless... let's chat about upcoming projects.

I purchased this Meralani Mint Garnet that’s just under 7mm from Gene a few months back.


It usually takes me forever to decide on a stone setting, but when I saw this emerald ring on The RealReal, I knew it was the design I wanted for the mint garnet. My ring will be in white gold and I’m having it made with a split shank.

My setting is done and ready to be shipped! Once it arrives, I‘ll take it to my local jeweler to set the center stone. This winter seems to be lasting forever, so it’s very nice to have a floral ring in green to help look forward to the spring .

Yippee!! I actually think it looks more sculptural than the inspo. Oh she's going to be a stunner.

Sorry if I missed it but who made the setting? It’s gorgeous!

Thank you for the compliments @mellowyellowgirl @Autumn in New England @CaseyLouLou !!

@CaseyLouLou The setting was made by CaiMao Jewelry. They used to sell on eBay as JewelryHoo and LeeJewelry. I had purchased alot of my settings through them pre-pandemic, but at some point they decided to close their eBay stores. I recently emailed my contact Kyo and was able to order directly and then pay through a PayPal invoice, so it has worked out well!

I have heard of that jeweler here before and people seem happy with the quality. How is the diamond melee quality? Would it be possible to share her contact info?

@CaseyLouLou they have standard melee and also upgraded melee. The upgraded melee are G-H/VS2 and they are white, clean and sparkly. There isn’t a huge price difference to upgrade the melee, so that’s what I’ve done since I realized that option was available. I will take a couple of pictures of the melee to share when the setting arrives, hopefully sometime this week!

Thank you. I can’t wait to see your ring when it’s finished. It’s going to be amazing.

@CaseyLouLou The setting arrived and I took close ups of the melee, but I my camera is blurring the diamonds a little. I looked through my loupe at the diamonds and they are very clean!



Here’s a pic with the mint garnet laying loose in the setting, just for fun

That is beautiful and looks so well made!!! I like the control on the use of metal (so fine without big metal bits). Congratulations it's gorgeous!!!! Can't wait to see the stone set!!!

Aww, thanks!! This is the first time I‘ve had a full custom piece made by CaiMao, in the past I‘ve always used their designs. I didn’t make any adjustments to their cads and just let them go with it. I’m very happy with how it‘s made

This piece is going to be glorious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks amazing. How high does it sit on the finger? And what is the carat weight? I can’t wait to see finger shots with the stone soon.
