I have been on the prowl for a RHR forever, and well over a year ago fell in love with Miss Rocks' sapphire stunner. After a long time hemming, hawing and getting quotes I settled on the jeweler that made that very ring (Joe Escobar Diamonds), because why mess around?! The ring is SPECTACULAR and photos do not do it justice. I cannot recommend them more highly and feel like I've found my lifetime jeweler -- working with Erik was a dream.
I've had the ring since Wednesday and vacillate between my heart leaping over its beauty and anxiety about the fact that it may not be right for me.
There are two issues as I see it:
1. I was going for substantial but perhaps I was a bit too greedy. I typically switch my jewelry up depending on my environment, but love this enough to push the boundaries of where I wear it. If I'm honest with myself I feel like it is a little too cocktail-y for every day wear (for me), though I live/work in a major metropolitan area so it's not completely ridic. As you can see, I'm all over the place here!
2. I wonder if it's too big for my short fingers.
Maybe I will feel differently in a few months after DSS (SSS) sets in? Maybe I should sell it on DB, recoup as much as I can, then have one made that's 15% to 20% smaller? It's a hassle, and I'll lose money and will take months but perhaps worth it? It was a custom design and exactly as I had asked for it so returning/exchanging is not an option, it is hardly the responsibility of the jeweler that created this beauty. Maybe I should suck it up and work this baby like nobody's business, short fingers and all?
I know I'm the only one that can answer these questions but I'd really love to hear other perspectives.
Now, for the pics...
