Hi everyone,
New here and looking to learn everything that I can in order to have a custom piece made for me sometime soon as my first real piece of "adult" jewelry. So far I have learned to love indicolite and paraiba tourmalines and violet cuprians. I'm a big fan of really unusual, unique pieces and would like to see some of yours: please share pictures with me, I think I've seen more beautiful pieces here than all the jewelry stores I've been to in my life combined.
I am sure I will find lots of inspiration!
Oh yeah, the inspiration for my quest was this ring that I came across a few years ago but couldn't afford:

I was thinking of getting this recreated but I'm concerned about setting a stone that large in prongs, and the hardness of the topaz with such a large exposed surface area
Thanks in Advance,
Kristy
