Last year I designed and customized this cluster ring for my mom as a "gift". I originally wanted to keep this ring for myself, because my mom did not like the blue/green tourmaline when she first saw it. The stone itself is nice, great clarity and color but the cut is not so attractive. It was like almost 5 ct and came with a face of 13*10mm and a big window.
To solve the problem, I sent it to recut and was down to less than 4ct.
My mom was still not so interested in this piece after the recut (her taste is very special), so I decided to sent this undesirable tourmaline to the jeweler, with some other loose sapphires and tsvs I purchased a long time ago not knowing what to do with them.
I will skip the story how I came with the design and color combo because it took me two months browsing through Instagram, Pinterest and fancy jewelry sale websites.Hahaha.
When the ring finished, my mom fell in love with it immediately. This piece was too big for my hand. I am in size US 4.25 and this ring measures 20*15mm. This time I am trying to create a smaller version for my smaller hand.
