@ItsMainelyYou - spinels? YesyesYES! That would look fabulous with your other red spinel pieces! And thank you for your kind words.
It's surprisingly comfortable, @MissGotRocks! I was expecting a bit of scratch - which I have no problem with - but - nope. Nothing. It's a keeper.
I LOVE collecting over time, @Mrsz1ppy. It's the best way to get substantial pieces without the sticker shock. Each of these diamonds was around $700; add in the setting - and it would have been a big purchase if done all at once - apart from the fact that it would have been almost impossible to have gotten such well matched stones all in one hit. Anyway, it was a pleasure, and lovely to have something like this to look forward to.
@FornasettiLover - you are dead right on that! Tizz conceals imperfections - simple reveals them. I think I made more iterations of my heavy yellow gold band than any other ring I've had - and that's just a band! Anyway, I'm glad you like this new piece - I'm *very* happy with it!
@Tonks - you deserve a special shout out for this ring. Thank you SO much for your help and opinions and for sharing your photos - it was immeasurably helpful. And I do think the stones are the size I wanted in the end. Very happy with this. And how is your love affair with V going? She's a beauty for sure!!
@bling_dream19! Dearest! I *finally* did a project without bending your ear on it!! (You must be so relieved!). I'm so glad you like it. Any updates on your projects?
You are so welcome! I love it when a project works out just as it should, and this is a beautiful band! Sometimes simple is harder to get right, as all the imperfections are easier to see. No imperfections with this one, though! Just perfect!
Love affair with Viv still going strong! Recovering from surgery now and I may or may not be lounging around in PJs, binging on Netflix and wearing Viv.
Thank you so much, @Leigh10! Definitely looking for "timeless".
Oh! Nice, @alene! What size are you collecting? I LOVE projects that involve slow collecting - deeply satisfying. I'll enjoy seeing yours when it lands!
Thanks, @monarch64! I wondered - before it was made - if I'd gone too small. But I like this size on my hand, and it's noticeable without being uncomfortable. I like it!
Thanks, @mrs-b! Mine are a bit smaller, at 23 points, but definitely fun to collect. I'll definitely post once I actually get around to setting them, but it'll be a while, I only have 9 so far.
