This forum has been a great educational tool for myself when I was researching diamonds, designs etc. and I have saved and showed many pictures to my jeweller.

As such, here is my contribution back, the pictures of my own e-ring. I wanted something that was simple, very delicate looking, and of course, sparkly :) I worked with a local jeweller who I'd say is a real craftsman and passionate about what he does and the whole experience of creating something from scratch has been wonderful.

For anyone lurking the boards that is considering custom ring making, I would say, definitely go for it, it is worth it! There is just so much more meaning to a ring when you've participated in the process of seeing it evolve from an idea to it's final shape and form. It is like witnessing a work of art being created (true!).

And here we go ..

I love it!! Tell us more about the center stone, please! The milgrain is so delicate and lovely. How great that you were able to work with a local craftsman too.

Thank you! Full details of the diamond (including close up images) are in my previous topic from earlier this year. Here is a summary:
GIA - rated the main diamond as 1.19 carat, G, SI1 [high grade, just escaped VS rating], excellent cut.
EGL - I had the ring appraised through EGL after it was made. EGL rates it as 1.19 carat, color F-G, VS1, ex-ex-ex. Total of 38 round brilliant cut smaller diamonds that are around D-E colour, VVS1-VS1.

I really don't remember .. I'll have to ask the jeweler when I go back in :) Something tells me it was just over 7 but I'll have to confirm.

If you want to, you can share the name of your local jeweler. The workmanship looks incredibly fine and the ring, while oh so delicate, has great presence. I love it, especially on your hand.
