Five Stone Bezeled Ring from DanielM Jewelry

[mimB]

Yesterday received the Five Stone Bezeled Ring that I custom ordered from Dan & Caren of DanielM Jewelry on Etsy. It's got some tiny imperfections that you might see in close up shots, but it is magnificent and purrfect!
At least, I love it, and it's exactly what I wanted.

Here's my thread on the design process for the ring and working with Dan & Caren.

[mimB]

Thank you gals for your words! I admit I'm pretty glad that my color machinations had such a nice real life outcome

There shall most certainly be more photos However, PS hates me right now, and errors out every time I try to upload anything :/ Will be trying again in a couple of hours.

It's beautiful - it manages to be fresh and classic at the same time! Wear it in good health!

So it seems I can circumvent this "Network too busy" and "No server response" error that I get on Chrome by uploading photos via Firefox - and only one at a time.

Thank you all for your kind words! I'm definitely falling more in love with the ring as time passes, and am feeling very grateful to the vendors who made it possible by providing the awesome stones and setting. It's definitely a pretty joy - I had a stressful day yesterday with a late lunch, and at one point, feeling miserable, angry and hungry, looked at the ring and felt like "well the universe hates me today, but at least you're pretty!".

Seems like am finally ably to load more pics. They're all still from the first day, and I was a mad prop queen and took photos with anything I could think of.

 

[Rosebloom]

I know I said this on your other thread already, but I really love this ring! The combination of colors is so mysterious and luxurious. Excellent job!

...and final ones, in incandescent light. Phew for my internet not flaking out on me too much today.

I've noticed a curious property of this ring: let's say there's a top and bottom side to the stone line; when I wear the top facing to me, I can't really notice the bezel errors. When I wear it with the bottom facing me, a lot of the errors become rather pronounced. Which is just, super curious.
I'll try to take photos to show what I mean.
All in all, the ring is an epic joy. However, it makes me wonder whether even bezels for uneven stones are a possibility - because it seems like Dan's skill in bezels is pretty solid in most of his work.

I have yet to see a ring where I don't consider it to have a top or bottom. My sapphire is native-cut and prong-set, yet there if I wear it "upside-down" the cut looks wonkier than if I wear it "right side up." Heck, even my husband claims his wedding band has a right-side-up and upside-down. I guess an ideal cut MRB in a plain solitaire might not have a right side up, but I don't have one of those.

I do think it's possible to have perfect bezels on imperfect stones, but requires skill that is rare and a larger investment of time.

Beautiful ring, and beautiful ring wearer!

Beautiful design. You have a lovely ring and the colors look terrific together.
