Oval Spessartine Garnet, Brilliant cut, 1.67 karats, 8.0 x 6.6 x 3.3 mm
18k gold.

Originally, I had purchased a rhodolite garnet from Uli (osirisgems from ebay) unfortunately I lost that beautifully cut stone during a move. When I went a few weeks later lurking on Uli's latest auctions I spotted and fell in love with this garnet.

I decided to get it set by JKT after seeing her beautiful work here on pricescope. I told her I wanted a wide band, scroll design similar to something I had seen on her website. She went from there. She was great, so easy to work with me (a novice!) and totally patient with me and some sizing issues that were totally my fault.

The original design had leaves along the edge which I wasn't too fond of, she removed them reworked the design and hit the nail on the head with what I was looking for. All remaining pics by JKT.
First design with leaves, a little too "floral for me."

Second and final design, exactly what I had in mind.

I love the setting, its simple and elegant but also has presence... your garent looks gorgeous in yellow gold. Nicely done!! You'll have to take some hand shots out in the sunlight! :D
 
this ring is and will be ageless. clean, simple lines. spess is the star of the show. all that's missing is a hand shot! :love: :appl:
 
Great ring!
 
Beautiful stone and ring. Did Uli cut this one? It looks different from his usual style which is why I am asking. And yes, hand shots would be great too.
 
That is one FANTASTIC band you have, liliangae!!! Wow ! The scroll work is fantastic and the spes....TDF!!! Enjoy! :appl:
 
Love the style of this ring but I'm a bit of a sucker for these wide rings anyway. :appl: It shows off the spess beautifully and so pleased JKT was able to adjust the design to something you love. Yes...hand pics please.
