It's here and I love it. I must confess to being shocked at how big it seemed - it does sit quite high - but I am already getting used to it. Also, it is sized large (not Diamond Zone's fault) so that will need adjusting - although I will use a snuggy for now. One thing I would like to do at some point is to have the smooth shank filed so that it is more D shaped/comfort fit but that can wait. For now here are some rubbish iPhone photos. Will do a proper shoot at the weekend I promise. With flowers and everything.
She is a stunner though and I am in love. My friends love it too and Mr Sparks is over the moon. The stone is lovely and the colours and shapes match my wedding ring and one year anniversary ring (a snake ring not seen here but will make it into the weekend shoot). The (hand done) millgrain is particularly well done and although the carving and all shapes are CAD/cast, the wheat pattern on the shank is particularly crisp and lovely.
Thanks again to Ilya and really, for good value for money I would strongly recommend Diamond Zone. Lovely work and great to work with.
