Outdoor pics! I have no idea how anyone takes pics of 3 stones at once, especially when they're different sizes. Did my best but mostly failed spectacularly

1ct Octavia and .5ct royal asscher outside pics

Holy moly these are gorgeous!

What a fun thing to look forward to!

Haha well I'm not going with any of the options listed here. I realized that all of the sleek/industrial settings from Bruce boone that I have end up in my drawer after a few months of wear. I love them, but they end up feeling wider than I want. So that ruled out the sholdt style.

The other custom option felt a little busy, and like I was combining too many elements.

Also, my marriage is (very likely) ending, so I am now realizing that I want to make my own dream ring but make sure I can wear it on my right hand. So a normal solitaire doesnt feel right either.

My current thought takes inspiration from @joelly and combines different styles of square stones. But I need to wait for the side stones to arrive before I decide if itll work or not.

I also have decided I want seven fingers to make the ring. I forgot about him somehow, but I've been admiring his work since I joined PS, and he seems like the perfect choice for a meaningful ring.

Hope that update helps!!

Wow wow wow this is SO good!!!! You won’t regret the 3-stone idea. I promise. It will provide you with finger coverage and with these 3 gorgeous diamonds, it won’t be boring. Those facets are going to spew out colors from every directions.

I can’t wait to see the completed ring.

Thanks for checking in, everyone!

I'm still waiting to feel more "normal" about anything that feels like an e-ring given my divorce. I want to be happy about this project, so I'm planning to wait until I have that excited happy feeling before moving forward. I promise to update whenever I do anything!

you're teasing us.

Not on purpose haha. I dont have any drawings or anything yet. I sent him my stone and told him I want orchids in yellow gold, but tjay I trust his vision as an artist. Asked him to send a rough drawing before he starts, so we're waiting on that part now. But he is a lovely person and so beyond talented

Wanted to give a quick update (WARNING: ITS NOT FINISHED haha).

Tom has my stone and we agreed on how it will be set. I really want to keep the corners open, so he came up w this design where the orchid petal holds the stone.

Similar in carving style to this finished ring, except the orchids will be closer to the stone to "hold" it.

Itll be all in gold and I cant wait to see it. I cant recommend him highly enough.
