My graduation ring is done! *lots of pics!*

[pothos]

After going to the same university for 7 years to get my doctorate in physical therapy, I decided to treat myself to a graduation ring with my first paycheck! I didn't want the typical chunky ring and decided to go with a 7 stone, graduated bezel ring with sapphires (4 for undergrad) and diamonds (3 for grad school!) to match my school colors. I worked with Jason at Craft-Revival and, once he found out I was a pricescoper/crazy person, he was kind enough to take a few photos of the process for me! On to the photos!

Last few! They also cleaned my engagement ring and earrings, which were a wedding gift from my husband, while I was there. I couldn't resist trying to take a few group shots! Thanks for looking everyone!

That looks beautifully made and I love the meaning behind it! I LOVE seeing behind the scene photos too! How amazing

 

[JaneSmith]

Wow! That turned out beautifully. Congratulations on your graduation too.

What a lovely ring! I know you said the stones each represent years in school, but does the color choice have any meaning, or are you just a sapphire fan?

And congrats on the doctorate. I'm a PTA in both the acute care and rehab settings (PRN). While the work is challenging physically, mentally and emotionally, I LOVE what I do. What aspect of PT do want to do? OP, acute care, rehab?

Your ring is beautiful, and your jeweler was so sweet to send it home with its very own virtual baby album! Congratulations!

I love the symbolism behind the sapphires and diamonds! 4 & 3 years! Cool

Your ring turned out amazing and I really love the pics your jeweler gave you of the construction of it. Do let him know other PSers appreciate it!

Now, make sure your DH spoils you w more jewellery! Tell him " Enerchi says so!!" ( aloe!!)
