Thank you! I will pass along the compliments to David & Amy!!

Hi everyone,

I showed a sneak peek of this ring over on CS, but figured I'd go ahead and dedicate a thread for it here. Hope you all like him!

David and Amy did a fabulous job, as always. While I'm not usually a fan of elaborate prongwork, I wanted something with milgrain detail to harken back to the diamond bezeling (and I did not want to bezel the garnet). So I came up with split claw prongs, and I think it turned out well! Went for the bezeled, invisible set diamonds rather than the standard prong set 5-stone design. Trying not to outright copy endlesssummer's mint ring (that I've been drooling over for years). lol

Hi all! Back with handshots. I must preface this by saying my hands are super swollen from a new IUD. Think I might go back to the copper variety, because I can't take these hormones. (Apologies to any males reading this... lol) Anyway! All pix taken in natural light of varying intensity. I had a few minutes of sun between t-storms today.

Stunning ring! I love that delicious shade of green!

Thanks, ladies! I must say, even though the stone is a decent size (around 12x7mm), I'm so used to giant halos, that this guy looks tiny in comparison. Or maybe it's because I'm a bloated mess at the moment. lol

Beautiful and you have beautiful hands!!!!!

That is a delightfully fresh green! Like crisp celery (I love celery and add it to a lot of random things for crunch)!

Blessed eye candy!

It's even lovelier in handshots. Exquisite.

I feel like it belongs on the hand of an heiress in a madcap 1930s Hollywood comedy - and from me that's the highest of compliments, as I yearn for the fashion and spirit of that era.

Thank you for the lovely imagery and encouragement! She has some art deco elements for sure.

I appreciate all of the kind words, everyone!

Holy Smokes, how did I ever miss this? It's absolutely gorgeous from the stone to the setting!!! Even with swollen fingers it looks perfect on you.

Have been waiting for your photos. DK’s usually fail to wow me. Yours do not!

Once again, you have hit out of the park. I love the prongs, and that the garnet is the star of the show. You have a real talent for designing a ring that shows a stone in it’s best light.

Enjoy!!!
