It's gorgeous!!!

Does it bother you? It’s a beautiful ring and the swirling halo is just so well done!

I'll get used to it.

Wow! It is in time for Chinese New Year too! Hooray!
It is a beautiful ring! I love how the rose gold works so well with the tsvaorire.
Wishing you all the good green things — life, nature, freshness and vibrant new beginnings.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and wishes.

The bench did a good job and it was a rush as they started their annual CNY holiday yesterday, Friday 24 January 2025!

Can't wait to wear this new ring, first trip out will be on my birthday at a 3-star restaurant in a posh London hotel as the celebratory meal on CNY is a very casual affair with a few friends.

Looking at the ring itself, I should have requested for a thicker bezel so as to reduce the width of the air line/gap. However, that's just nit-picking.

I was admiring the Tsavorite under halogen light in the bathroom, and it pops at me.

So happy that I can keep this stone, which is the first of my significant green stone. A good size Tsavorite was on my old Bling Wish Lists - box ticked.

Wish my mum is still alive to see this ring as I am certain she would love it.

She would probably tell me off for spending that much on a Garnet/semi-precious stone too!

What a beautiful beautiful ring! Love the green pop, the pink bezel, and the ribbon-like swirl of diamonds - all of the elements work together and wow!

Happy Happy Birthday! Cheers to many more birthdays!

And thank you for all that you share on PS

Happy Birthday indeed! It's beautiful.

Happy Birthday DK! Love your posh meal idea to celebrate LNY too! Take a pic of the food with the ring for us!!!!

I’m also taking Lil Sis out for a posh LNY lunch this week simply because I must find somewhere to wear my $35 House of CB dupes!

Apologies in advance, however, I tend not to take pics of posh as in meals at starred restaurants as I do not believe 2D photos do them justice, sorry!

Besides, I don't like to post them in my FB feed due to negative feedback in the past about spending lots of money on a meal etc...

I am no food snob in that I like to eat junk food as much as I like gourmet/fine dining, depending on my mood and occasion, etc. etc...

This is just BEAUTIFUL! I love the setting and the stone! I hope your wonderful blingy birthday leads to a wonderful blingy year!

Wow! That was fast!! Instant gratification... just saw this thread and already got to enjoy the finished piece. lol I love what you did with it. Congrats and enjoy!!

 

[dk168]

I wore the ring for the first time last night for a black tie formal dinner, as a celebration of Chinese/Lunar New Year, as well as for imminent significant birthday.

I was wearing a red top, and love the contrast of red and green - it is probably my favourite colour combination.

Oh me, oh my! I love the undulating waves of the halo, and the air gap between the inner/outer bezels, too. The tsavorite looks so perfect in this ring! Glad you are enjoying it!

 

[dk168]

Off to the Big Smoke again for a theatre trip to see Oliver! and decided to wear the birthday ring.
Weather is nice, warm and sunny, and I took a pic of the ring in the sun.



Have a good weekend!

Such fun! Have a good time, @dk168. I love the swirls on your ring. They look dynamic, and the tsavorite looks lively and intense.
Glad to hear it is warm .

I originated from HK when it was a British colony, came to UK to study in the late 70s and loved it so much I decided to stay.

Late to the thread, but congrats @dk168 on the birthday and the beautiful tsav ring. You're inspiring me to take out my tsavorites for DH's birthday. His favorite color is green.

Ahh, I remember the return and Chris Patten. UK is very charming. I would move myself except for the weather! Looks like you have adapted to it! I am a bit like a lizard--need my place in the sun to be warm.
