Peter custom cut this stone for me and I've finally had it set for my daughter's 13th birthday. Julia did an amazing job, my daughter was so happy it brought tears to her eyes.....a difficult thing to do with a teenager!

Here is her original drawing along with the pictures she took....

The original peridot thread, I wasn't a big fan of the stone until I saw it in person, it's tough to photograph:

DianaBanana, what a sweet gift for your daughter! The ring is GORGEOUS! The stone is a lovely color and such a beautiful cut! Julia's setting is amazing :love: It's so fluid and graceful. You must have been so touched by your daughter's reaction.

Forgot to ask what the metal is... I'm guessing yellow gold with white gold or argentium silver?
 
Thanks Baby Nurse....I should have mentioned that the ring is argentium silver with green gold accents. :wavey:

I'll try to get a hand shot, as Julia mentioned, the pictures don't show how delicate the ring looks IRL.
 
Oh, the green gold looks amazing with the stone!

Really looking forward to the hand shots!
 
unique, classic, and lovely. your daughter is a lucky young woman.

What a lovely gift! The ring is beautiful, and I particularly like the symbolism: young-green-tender-girl=delicate-green-yet strong ring.

Very, very nice. :appl:
 
Hi DianaBanana: I saw this on Julia's Esty SOLD listings and really admired it. I was wondering if it belonged to a 'Scoper and if so, when we were going to see it. Love the cut of the peridot, so very pretty.

The green gold makes that peridot snap, its perfect. Doesn't Julia have good taste in metal? I showed this to my husband, because Julia has my peridot for setting now, and he thought the motif for the sides was just beautiful. So do I.

I'm glad your daughter loved the ring, makes you feel good about giving it, its going to an appreciative owner :lol:
 
Oh my! It's beautiful! What a great gift for your daughter!
 
I love green, but I am generally not much of a peridot fan. However, that one is really neat. Great setting as well. I love a beautiful bezel, with a few tweeks for interest. Very nice piece. :appl:
 
Love it!
 
Lovely!! Nice color stone for bezeling. I'm glad you did a yellow bezel. I love yellow gold around green stones.
 
STUNNING work of art!
 
Its a lovely ring! :appl: :love:

That is gorgeous, love the side detail! Wonderfull gift.
 
Beautiful! I love the setting and the stone! :appl:
 
This is really pretty! I have a JKT ring in silver with green gold accents for a green stone, and it turned out beautifully. The peridot is a really nice "minty" green color too.

*runs off to hide so TL doesn't yell at her for calling a yellowish green stone minty!*
 
Diana, I saw your daughters ring on JKT's Etsy and thought it was beautiful and wondered if it belonged to a PSer. Great stone and I love Julia's design. What an amazing birthday present too! Great job! :))
 
That’s gorgeous! I love the yellow bezel around the peridot and the touch of the leaf against the bezel is reminiscent of James Meyer’s work.
 
It's beautiful! :appl: A nice peridot is still on my wish list; your daughter's is very nice! :love:
 
So gorgeous! This makes me even more excited that I'm getting to work with Julia on my ring project. Happy Birthday to your daughter! :)
 
I really love how this ring turned out! Gorgeous!!!
 
Just gorgeous (stone, design, setting work)!!! It is a very special piece.
 
What a beautiful piece for your daughter to cherish forever!
 
I remember that peridot, because I kept the other one! Hi Diana good to see you, it's been a while. :wavey:

Julia has made a beautiful ring for your daughter. I swear I could keep that lady gainfully employed for a very long time.
 
LOVE THIS!!!!!

Lori
