WOW, that is a super cool looking stone! Where did you find that?? My daughter's birthstone is amethyst so i'm on the lookout for an interesting piece...I would love that in a pendant!
The jeweler is Jill Anish. Janish Jewels on Etsy. I like working with her and I know some other PS-ers like her, too.
Uli is excellent, innovative cutter, but his material ranges from very good to meh. From my experience, "liquid flower" looks best in light stones. I have photos of this ring and the pendant Jill made from ametrine "liquid flower". I know another PS-er was quite disappointed by her liquid flower from a garnet.
Uli's pictures are not always true to life, so you can get a wonderful stone which does not look stunning in pictures, and vice versa. I stopped guessing, just buy for the cut, but he is a nice guy who has very generous return policy and returns to Munich are not a problem. Some other PS-ers have his stones and in general, are quite happy with them, or so I think. For a while, he carried many garnets, but I do not know if he still has them.
As a cutter, I think, he is a visionary. I do not know why he is not so well-known.
Sorry. Sometimes I can not understand my own explanations.
What I wanted to say was, Uli is a very interesting cutter who invents new cuts, always experiments and uses innovative designs. But if you buy from him, buy for the cut, not for the stone, and try to buy lighter stones because they show his cuts to better advantage.
My "liquid flower" pendant and ring were meant as a gift for my younger son's teacher. She is a young woman and they look stunning on her.
The workmanship looks really good and has been very consistant. I cannot tell much about the colour of the stone from the angle and so shall wait to comment on the entire package when you receive it. Knowing Uli's liquid flower design, it's a one of a kind ring, around your neck of the woods.
