I joined PriceScope in April of this year after discovering it on Pinterest from people posting, that led me here. In March, my precious hubby gifted me a a wee bit over 10 carat ,SI1,G color ,Hearts and Arrows, excellent cut, symmetry ,polish diamond ,GIA certified. for our 30th anniversary. I could not believe it! I had no idea where to find the perfect setting and cookie cutter designs are not my cup of tea! I started reading many threads on here and was blown away by Steven's pieces and thought I would reach out to him and see if he could help me. I talked with him on the phone and described what I love and that I wanted an Edwardian type design to go with my antique family pieces, I wear all the time. I have never seen any reproduced pieces that were remotely close to the authentic ones, finding them all too clunky. As we were chatting on the phone ,he emailed me a picture of a setting he had done for an almost 8 carat, old cut diamond .I looked at the picture and said, YES ,that is exactly what I am dreaming of. He said he would continue to send me pictures of what he thought I may like and for me to do the same. Later that evening, I went back to a folder I had tucked away, with pictures of pieces I dreamt of. There in the folder was a printed out page of a ring I adored ,from 8 years ago, a ring I saw online. I almost fainted when I realized it was the exact same ring Steven had emailed me ! I quickly sent him the pictures of the paper I had and he said, yes, I am the artist and this is the same ring! I almost died right there! I asked him if he was a Psychic at his other job! It was like he pulled my vision straight out of my mind and already had the ring my heart desired. It was meant to be and FATE! The very first picture he sent, based on my desires described to him over a phone conversation and he had the answer for me all along, without even realizing it. I He said he would have to alter the design a bit to accommodate my diamond by adding more side diamonds and making a bit larger than the original and I was fine with that as long as it was still soft and feminine. He finished the ring on Monday and we picked it up on Wednesday. I do not have his pictures yet but here are some I took. I am over the Moon and cannot believe this is my ring! Thanks to all of you for posting and celebrating Stevens work. If I had not stumbled upon this site, I don't know where I would be. I have learned so much in a short amount of time and the timing could not have been more perfect. What a treat to have such a beautiful ring! If anyone wants perfection, Steven is your man! Sorry for the overly long post!
