I first saw this bird ring on the Kathy Jade Facebook back in July 2021 and since then regularly popped by the site once in a while to check if it was still around. I’m sure fellow jewelry lovers understand right? It’s such an adorable ring. So while it’s totally impractical I just thought of it like it’s a little work of art.
So in late-January to early-February when Kathy had it’s Chinese New Year promo where you had a random chance of drawing a up to 25% discount code, I tried my luck daily to finally maximize at a 20% discount code… so not the luckiest but hey a 20% discount isn’t too bad. And finally after mulling for months (thank goodness it didn’t sell during that time), finally I decided to get this adorable little friend after checking that it can be adjusted to my size.
It’s made of 18k white and rose gold (RG for the shank which is made to look like a branch), with glassy jadeite feathers, tsavorite melee accents, black diamond eyes and loads of beautifully detailed engraving.
I posted a pic of the ring on the thread “stuff I was considering to buy” and got quite a few responses and questions so decided to create a SMTB thread instead of randomly posting on the CS forum on my thread.
Just got it back after sending it to Kathy for resizing to fit my index finger - given the workmanship involved in the shank, I just didn’t dare to use a local workshop even though the multiple overseas shipments made me shudder a bit… Singapore to Taiwan to Hong Kong to Taiwan and finally back to Singapore!
That’s all really. No sentimental story, not a heirloom item, just a short story of why I bought this piece and then lots of pics.
TLDR: It’s adorable so I got it.
On the hand (gloomy and about to rain when I took the pics this morning):
