Squee! I am really happy with how this ring turned out, and I think I am going to add in

Engraving will be the final cool touch to this awesome ring So glad to hear that your wedding is going forward at the end of this year, you all have waited a long time for this!

Thank you.

Your concept works so well: mandarin ducks on the clear blue water. I'm in awe of your ability to come up with original concepts and make them work.

Really busy with wedding preparations, and phone camera died, so I haven't been active on PS. However, I just spent the money on a new phone, and received these pictures today from Inken. Engraving is done.

Happy Thanksgiving, ladies and gents!

Fabulous! The side view shows lotus blooms on the water.

I think Inken's pictures were better than my phone camera in capturing the colors of the ring. I received the ring just in time for Thanksgiving but didn't wear it during that weekend due to all the cooking that I did. Here's hand shots from my workplace.


The duck neck emeralds are the most attractive, most vivid shade of green I've ever seen. Much better contrast than white diamond would have made. The vividness of their color does not cover across on my phone camera. I now understand why fine emerald is just as expensive as white diamonds per ct, even in small sizes.
