My spinel project has been going on for a loooong time - I actually wanted to do a different ring with DanielM but couldn't find a spinel that I liked (original one had a big white dot in the middle of it). Then I found this pinkish/orangey spinel that I LOVE and thought I'd try to a halo...got a LOGR setting that wasn't inexpensive and was just WAY too delicate for my lifestyle, so I decided to go the custom route with Daniel. Sent the stone right after the hurricane and nearly had a heart attack as it took almost a week to get there (when I used Priority!)
So, Caren just sent me the CADS and I LOVE it - it's exactly what I pictured. I don't go for super ornate designs (and in fact I am a little nervous still about wearing a halo!) so I got a rose gold halo, want delicate claw prongs, and white gold shank for versatility. I was thinking of seeing if I could make beveled lines on the shank, but not much more decoration than that...Any other thoughts?
