I have been getting killed at work so I haven't been here in ages! It's so nice to see everyone's pretties it's been a great distraction!
Several months ago (heck, might be a year at this point) iI got a gorgeous red/pink cushion cut spinel from Dana and I immediately knew I wanted to set it in a James Meyer-esque setting (iI have wanted one forever). At some point along the way even earlier than the spinel I had found two OECs and was hanging onto them, wasn't sure what to do with them as they were fairly mismatched (evenot the seller said so).
Well, today I picked up my ring and I just had to share since you guys are the few people who understand the feeling when something (specifically, a colored stone ring) comes out exactly how u wanted it. My jeweler actually is sort of my neighbor and has done lots of custom work for me and he is just awesome - Brian at BSK designs (hes also on etsy) and I am totally bummed that he is moving the florida!
I will still ship him my stuff to work on but I LOVED talking jewelery with him when I had time and he and his family are just lovely.(plus, I didn't have to worry about shipping stones...)
I asked him to set it as low as possible, so instead of a high bridge, he cut a notch in the band so the spinel culet sits inside it...
yay! And super fine milgrain on the bezels
Anyway, here is my ring! I can't remember the exact stats but around 7mm for the spinel and about .4 and .35 Each for the diamonds. Unplated 14k white gold, size 5 1/8. I'm in love with it and it glows red to reddish pink depending on the light.
