I started a thread in Colored stone forum with lots of pics, here''s a preview

 

[arjunajane]

MTG, the pendant turned out wonderfully. A unique and very pretty piece!


I have progress pics from julia! Still very early stage, but here are my three stones
in their bezels to be made into my split shank ring.
We decided to go with yellow gold for all three bezels instead of just the centre one, and Julia has said the peach tourm looks great with the YG

 

[arjunajane]

Also, not quite finished yet but here''s my sterling FDL key.
Very exciting!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Aj, the progress pics look great!! I''m SO digging the key! May have to put it on my christmas list!

 

[indecisive]

Oooo they key looks great! It looks even more fleur-de-lys-y then the sketch! Very Pretty and I hope you post neck shots when its done!

 

[jmtomaui]

Wow AJ, your key is beautiful. I can''t wait to see the sketches Julia comes up with using my and DH''s initials....

 

[arjunajane]

Thanks folks!
The key design still needs a lil bit of work and refining,
but so far so good.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

AJ, those all look great. I love the open bezel. I love all of these work in progress pics.

 

[diamondsrock]

Wow, I am loving that key. And that pendant is gorgeous!

I have another seller I forgot to mention a while back. Her prices are extremely reasonable, considering she uses semi precious stones and it's all handmade as far as I know. Her stuff is kind of funky and unique, so maybe not something to wear every day, but really cool for summer or just to jazz up an outfit. Her seller name is nanda.
I'm eyeing this one right now:

For $10! I did buy an item from her a while ago, and it was very intricate and well made. Plus she offers some bridal items too. I thought this necklace would be beautiful for a wedding:

Hi Lori

The necklace was very pretty.

You have chosen a right thing.

This thread has been so much fun to follow, as there are so many beautiful creations being turned out from talented people with Etsy!

 

[arjunajane]

Hello folks,

the wonderfully talented Julia Taylor has completed both my key pendant
and a 3 stone ring project I had her on just yesterday.

Suffice to say, both have come about even beyond my expectations

I won''t have the real thing for another week or two, but here''s
a thread I started with pics of the ring link
and I''ll start one about the key too.

So, here''s one of Julia''s lovely pics of both pieces together.
Can''t wait to try them on, I know the key is already my new favourite
thing

and I simply cannot recommend Julia Kay Taylor and her services any higher!!

 

[princessplease]

They''re both so lovely!!! I can''t wait to see pics when you get them.

 

[loriken214]

Oh AJ, they are both AMAZING......how special, too!!!! YIPPEE.....I can''t wait to see you wearing them!!!!

Lori

 

[arjunajane]

Thankyou princess and Lori!

I got this fun ring in the mail today from DragonsBreath (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5357981). I'm planning to use it as an alternate wedding band. I love the antique style of it, but I was a little surprised at how thin it is. It's really comfortable though. I can barely tell it's on.

 

[QueenB29]

I had wanted to have one of my wedding bands unsoldered and stack it with the silver band, but it''s too much lower than my wedding bands. I guess that means I''m just going to have to get another diamond band

 

[QueenB29]

I''m thinking of getting this ring from CreationsbyCat set with a white topaz to match to wear as an engagement ring when traveling. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22291229.

Here''s kind of what it would look like:

 

[QueenB29]

Also going to get some of these yellow and rose gold and beaded silver stackers to go with it. Curse you all for turning me on to Etsy!!!!
