Thank you jstar, Skippy, princess, beaglemom, flygirl, onvacation, and Lauren -


I can''t wait for my mom to see it - I think she''ll be really, really in love. This is the first piece of jewelry that she''s ever had made, and I only hope she had as much fun with the process as I did.


Onvacation - think of it as a blessing in disguise...I think it''s impossible to leave a round table empty handed! It was an amazing experience. Near the end, Richard passes around stones that he considers ''better'' than the ones he has in the Smithsonian. He and his wife are both truly lovely people, and you can tell that Richard loves to share his work, and even more, loves seeing all of our faces as we open up each of the little tissue packets containing his stones. Definitely go next time you have a chance!


Lauren, I''m glad you do!! I sent my mom practically every photo of your ring that I could find once she told me she wanted a bezel. As you know, I really admire your taste and I''m so glad you shared your ring here on PS - it made it a lot easier for me to communicate with my mom/communicate with the jeweler when my mom had photos in front of her that were similar to what she was describing.

Teehee, thanks for replying! I''ve been away from PS for the past two weeks, and I must say those hand shots were worth the wait! How''s your mother doing with the ring? I just banged my e-ring into the dryer really hard last night, and was so freaked out that my yelp had my husband running out to check on me! Totally reminded me of your mother''s ring It seriously looks better on her hand than by it''s lonely self. I believe Richard will be coming back in December... I''d better start saving up!

 

[princesss]

Wow...definitely TDF!

 

[Elmorton]

OnVacation, Oh no! I hope your hand (and ring) were OK! I haven''t heard much from mom about it - she''s been on Spring Break, so I''m guessing this week she was just hanging around the house in sweats a lot But I may hear about it on Monday - I have a feeling she''ll wear it back to school, because I know she''s told her friends about the project. I think she''ll end up being OK, but mostly because she''s being aware that it''s on her finger. It''s a hard ring to forget that you''re wearing, haha.

Thanks, princesss!!
