Last year, I started seeing rose cuts on PS, Cathy Waterman and Singlestone, I fell in love....after much time on pinterest and time to gather ideas and buy stones (I bought two because I could not decide), my ring is complete. I must thank Poppyseed and Alb of Amcor because they truly perfected every detail, first through CAD and then each step of finishing/engraving. I decided not to do a closed back for a variety of reasons. The stone is approx. 9.8mm x 6.8mm and is 14k white gold. the stone isn't quite a warm as shown in the flower pic (but of course because of the nature of a rose cut, it is picking up color from the flower). Thanks for letting me share :)

Organic, subtle, and beautiful.

This is clearly not enough photos! ;-)

Are you happy with the nonfoiling?

thank you tyty

Niel-Yes, I am happy without the foil back because it was specifically the look I was going for, I just wanted to mention because I know it was a hot topic here recently. I cannot really picture how it would look with the foil, so I cannot say I wouldn't like that but I just love every detail on this little masterpiece. Plus, it is literally the most comfortable ring I have ever worn (feels like I don't have a ring on!)

I love the Cathy Waterman-inspired look, too! Can we see some handshots to see how your rose cut looks in different lights?

Art deco omg that is stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! I have had a similar love of rose cuts recently and a rose cut is high up on my list of wants at the moment. Do you mind me asking where you sourced your rose cut diamond from?

Thanks friends!!

Well I have bought from several different vendors this year (I also did a rose cut partial eternity this summer) and some were good, some were NOT. I would recommend buying from Becab in NYC or Love Affair Diamonds/Jewels by Grace. It took some time to find exactly the size, shape and clarity that I wanted for a price I could afford.

This is SO beautiful! I love it! Can we get a handshot from further away for perspective? I have always loved Cathy Waterman's designs, and your inspired design is just lovely!

I have a question because I can't really tell from your photos, but is it set so that the flat side faces up?

thanks everyone!

freke child- no that is the top of the stone, maybe bc of the way its set in the basket, it is hard to tell?

Vampira-OOH LOVE the Tolkien reference!!!

Ok, here is as far away as I can get taking a pic myself-(it is a right hand ring, so I had to switch it to my left for this lol)

I think it was just the angle the pictures were taken at. It's so beautiful! Thank you for the perspective shot! I really love this ring, it's just stunning!
