spessartite ring

[Arkteia]

This Lloliondo stone was purchased from Dana a long time ago. I do not have the specs; maybe Dana remembers, I bought the whole box of stones from him that time. It is over 5 ct, native cut. At one point in time, I wanted to recut it but a PS-er advised me against it. Lloliondos are often somewhat included and while I like their sleepy appearance, it may limit setting options. Christina Williams from Myheartmonster on ETSY designed a very light, open, delicate setting. She uses recycled gold; she had to work at it a little bit to avoid issue of porosity since I did not mail her enough material but overall, I am happy with the job, and with the price, too. As usual, Christina's rings are very comfortable and she is easy to work with. I lost weight and my fingers are 1/2 size smaller than they were when I ordered the ring but otherwise, I am quite happy.
