CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE: it was neatfreak''s Jeff White asscher that ''sold'' me on WhitesGems.


LS

Awww shucks. Well I am SO GLAD that it turned you onto Jeff, because your ring is just fantastic. My sapphire is happily sitting on my finger right now too!

 

[Selkie]

Oh. My. God. Now THAT is some serious colored stone p*orn.

Keep Michael Phelps away from it, he''ll get confused and try to swim in it!

Congratulations-can we call you "Found Sapphire?"

[Linda W]

OMG, LS. I gasped too. Your ring is stunning, beautiful, gorgeous. I would give anything, if I could see it in person. I bet you spend the weekend non-stop looking at your beauty, I know I would. Whiteflash and Jeff did amazing work. It is just breathtaking.

Did I tell you how much I love it.

. I agree, you will now have to change your avatar name.

Jeff gets BIG

S in my book!

I can''t believe the pics turned out as good as they did: I had all of about 10 minutes before the rain came down full throttle so it was a bit of a fast photo shoot!

Hello MP!

I''m still swoooooning too!

Sweet DH has been looking at it with his binoculars (we don''t have a loupe!!). What a goof. He loves it!

And yes, it has been well and truly FOUND! Finally, my hand feels "right with the world" again.

Hey Catmom!

It turned out GOOD! Thanks for your help with the transition between the YG and Platinum. IRL it is delicate, fluid and EXACTLY what I wanted.

Congratulations LS

MissDelight:

That is so very kind of you!

I am enjoying every moment of this. And, the process has been unbelievably positive and exciting. Jeff White and WF get ALL of the credit. I just provided some inspiration and some $$.

They did the hard part.
