Thank you!
I really don't feel the pics are doing it justice at all. But that's just how diamonds are. I'll have to try and shoot a video at some point. In the meantime I'm making up for it with endless stills.

Thanks for bearing with all my photos.

Oh I disagree, the pics are doing it justice - just knowing it is a diamond and not a ruby is enough to do it justice.
Rare ring and very beautiful. I love the green diamond color, I was thinking no when I assumed they would be grass green
but this color looks great and I don't like rings with different colors but this ring is the exception - the two colors just work
I feel.

Thanks so much! I did work hard to find a green that worked well with the red and the leaf idea. I really didn't want emerald green (although I love emeralds) because then it would have been too Christmassy for me. I had three different shades of green stones to choose between at one point.

Wordie, I do totally stare it all the time, especially in the sun! Thanks!

And yes, I like rubies too, have a nice ring and one waiting to become a pendant, but this is something else!

Thanks so much! It took some work, but the petals came out well! Jewelry design is nerve-wracking, and I've had three projects flop in the past year. But this one makes up for it!
Thanks also Scarlett (great name!) and txgreeneyes (another great name)!
So many of us use colours in our screen names! we must like colour!

Since you're all being so kind and don't seem to be sick of my photos yet, here are few more.
I got some fire shots this morning! The coloured diamonds are a lot more shy with their fire than the white ones (which are almost ridiculously blingy when they get going!). But I had a lot of fun trying to catch some red and green fire!
Luckily we're having a sunny September.

I love that you had a very clear cut vision and you brought it to reality beautifully.

Thanks LD! I still wish I'd gone for a third leaf down the shank on either side. And I may yet do that. Otherwise I'm very happy with it!
