This is a simple job that Jennifer and Ian started. So simple but so hard. Getting the spacing between the stones just right so you can see the bright wall around each stone. I did 5 layouts before I got the right balance. The pattern left one stone out so we set it in the bottom as a fetish stone. This is one that exceeded my expectations.





Here we had several heirloom diamonds. We added this amazing sapphire (purple changes to pink) and made a right hand ring for the customer. I worked on this design for hours on end trying to use all of the customers stones in a graceful way. It took three version of how to hold the smaller stones. Curves bezzels and prongs. We finally settled on the prongs that almost disapear. I think it came out great. Unfortunaly I wasent inn when she picked it up but I hear she loves it.




This customer is in the art and crafts world. I loved making her ring. She came in with a solid design. A beautifuly delicate ring with a matching band.
