Could you say something about the design process. Did you just ask for 'a lion's head'? Or did you have a sketch or a model? Or had the designer done something similar before? Was there a lot of back-and-forth to get it right?
Happy to share. So I’ve always been fascinated with lions since my childhood and wanted to get a unique custom ring of a lion head. I shopped around at many different local jewellery stores as lion head rings are not a new thing, but I’m a picky guy and many of the design I saw didn’t do well at representing the look of a real lion to me. That’s when I reached out to a jeweller in Toronto and sent him the picture of a model wearing a model I liked, which I found through Google images. I met in person with the jeweller and paid half the price and he emailed the 3D picture included here 3 days later and told me he could make the ring I requested or the 3D version he sent me that had a lot more detail. I was very skeptical because I had never spent this much on any piece of jewellery. However he had over 300 5 star reviews on Google so I gave him the go ahead, but was still truly nervous the whole time. He exceeded my expectations by a lot. There was no back and forth once I gave him the go ahead on the design he sent me.

Thanks DejaWiz! I’m actually not a fan of bigger rings that will draw too much attention but there was no other way for design to be smaller and still gave this much detail.
Different !
Would love to see a hand shot
Very nice but how big is it?
This is a stunning work of art. I love the unique design.
That's amazing, with the glory emerald.
Wow!
Good for you
i love the big size
and the colour is lovelly too
I’m still getting used to it
It’s quite large and heavy (30 grams)
One year to the day...it's holding up great!
I can count on one hand the number of times that I have taken it off. It stays on for everything: work at the power plant, yard work, swimming, working/playing with the dogs, showers/baths, housework, etc. So it's a little faded, but still surpassed my expectations, especially for the peanuts that I paid for it.

Come on y'all, we need to see more bling on this thread!
