Woofmama - Thank you for the kind words, and yes, definitely add one to your future project list! I still haven't gotten over the bling-attack when I wear it.
Uppy - You make me blush! Thank you!! It also helped that I had a lot of inspiration pics from PS to help me figure out exactly what I wanted! I think half of the page views on the 5-stone thread are due to my obsessive scheming.
I figured out how to get my instagram photos on to my computer - so here's a few more pics. I should probably stop snapping photos on my cell phone so often...but it's just so pretty! I can't get over the lovely colors and prism effect - and how the ring seems to have different personalities in different lighting. My photos don't do it justice.
Thank you for the kind words, abby12 and sdl! I've actually had the ring rebuilt since oringally posting. It got sized down to a 7.5, prongs pointier, and trellis less tall. I love it even better now!
