I find it interesting to see the comments about price. My oval rose cut setting was the most I have ever paid for any setting and the pure artistry and beauty in the setting is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY to me. There are other designers that have a comparable price point and some that exceed it. I look down at my Anjolie ring and fall in love a little more each day. I absolutely do not think it is overpriced. There is something special about each aspect of my ring by Caysie. I have purchased by several designers and I can honestly say my Anjolie ring is in a league of its own. At the end of the day it's my own opinion and preference. I would never knock someone else's jewelery or choice of designer.
I won't get into the original reason for the post because it is pointless and enough has been said. However, to say a "pretty ring is a pretty ring" is offensive to the people who love the sentimental pieces that they have made by designers with a more artistic approach.
Clearly this is a topic with varied opinions but it is amazing to see how quickly these types of posts go downhill.
Maybe I'm not being clear? MY ering IS a CvB and I think it is gorgeous. However, I stand by my original opinion that a pretty ring is just that; a pretty ring! I don't care to spend twice the amount of money on a hand forged ring, and there are plenty who would. That's literally all I said. Not sure how anything I've said is being interpreted as being at all insulting to her work, quite the opposite I think? Her work is incredible for the money. I held my ring against a Van Craeynest and was MORE than impressed with the antique engraving and detailing of mine.
