It''s gorgeous! I love Julia''s work and have already started planning a key pendant with her, since she did such a great job on my zircon ring.

Thank you so much for your kind words, IndyLady, MonkeyPie, Crasru (it's actually yellow with a bit of a brown undertone, but susceptible to picking up the colours of my background), and Jstarfireb (your JKT Zircon ring had me on a hunt for my own zircon)!!

I am so jealous of your collection

Arcadian · Jan 14, 2010

Oh cool! Did you find a zircon yet, or are you still looking? One of my best friends has a blue zircon for her engagement ring, which was what got me started on zircons originally.

Lovely Lauren! I would love to spend a day with your collection - you have such amazing taste!

Kay · Jan 14, 2010

Gorgeous ring, LTP! I''m not which which I like better, the top view with the split and beveled bezel, or that yummy profile.

I''m so sorry about your friend.

L, your new ring is stunning, Julie did a fantastic job. Can''t wait to see sunny day pics!

I''m so sorry for your dear friend''s loss. How very sad. Hugs all around.

Lovinggems · Jan 15, 2010

Lovely, very sharp looking.

I''m sorry to hear about your friend''s loss too.

Dandi · Jan 15, 2010

Oooooh I LOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!

Yummy yummy yellow gold!

I''m terribly sorry to hear of your friend''s passing Lauren, my thoughts go out to you and his family. How unspeakably sad.

virgoruby · Jan 15, 2010

Such a lovely ring...

I''m so sorry to hear about your friend''s loss too...

chrono · Jan 15, 2010

I am sorry to hear about death of a good friend. I hope she is able to pull through with help of supportive family and friends like you.

Novel · Jan 15, 2010

Lauren! That ring is stunning. Her design really did the stone justice. I saw the pictures in the gallery and couldn''t figure out how I''d missed such a thing. What you did for your friends, as everyone else is saying, is also beautiful.

miraclesrule · Jan 15, 2010

I love it!! Your rings are always so beautiful. I''m so sorry to hear of your friend''s untimely death. That''s so sad.

enbcfsobe · Jan 15, 2010

Lovely ring, of course! It sounds like you need that extra little ray of sunshine right now -- so sorry for your loss.

cushioncutnut · Jan 15, 2010

It turned out lovely! I just love your ever growing asscher collection.

I am so sorry in the loss of your friend. So sad to hear of and at such a young age.

LD · Jan 15, 2010

LTP - is it a trick of the light or does your ring have a hint of green gold?

Wasn''t it thoughtful of Julia to send a chain for your friend? Such a lovely thing to do.

oddoneout · Jan 15, 2010

How very sad to hear of your friend. I like the design of your ring and the stone is amazing.

Honey228 · Jan 16, 2010

That''s a lovely ring and stone. How does it compare to your scapolite in color?

That''s very sad about your friend, but sweet of you and Julia.

fierypyropixy · Jan 16, 2010

So sorry about your friend, LTP. But my jaw dropped when I saw this beautiful setting . . . it is perfect for this asscher! JKT is a treasure.

LaurenThePartier · Jan 16, 2010

Thank you everyone for your kind words and condolences.

Bella_mezzo, Arcadian, - Thank you!

Jstarfireb - I have an emerald cut blue zircon that I love. It''s about the same size as my e-ring, so a bit small, but I''m not sure how to set it. I''l probably end up asking Gene to cut one for me in one of his cushions that''s somewhere over 7mm.

Brown.Eyed.Gril - likewise, my dear! Perhaps we could work out a swap . . .?

Kay - thank you! I''m with you. Not sure which element I like best, but Julia did a lovely job.

Monnie - sunny day pics on their way for you!

Lovinggems - thank you!

DandiAndi - thank you! I thought of you when I decided on the yellow gold.

Vigoruby and Chrono - thank you!

Novel - much appreciated!

Miraclesrule - thank you for your kind words, hun!

Enbcfsobe - Thank you!

Cushioncutnut - Appreciate your kind words, my friend. I love your signature, by the way. Really fits how I''m trying to live my life since Kevin''s passing. No regrets. No waiting for storms to pass.

LovingDiamonds - The background on that set of pics was green, and I think everything picked it up. Thank you.

Oddoneout - much appreciated. Thank you for stopping by and looking!

Honey228 - I appreciate your lovely words. The Grossular is much deeper, and matches the buttery 18k YG nearly perfectly. The Scap has a bit of a cooler yellow colour to it, so the white gold suits it.

Fierypyropixy - I''m so glad you like it. Thank you!

The sun came out today! Yay! Although because of the all of the freezing temps in Dallas, most of our plants are dead. So the fenve helped provide a backdrop.
