Wow wow Acinom, the hits keep coming this one is gorgeous too! I especially love your 20k rose gold choice with that soft blue, it is really flattering. Great choices!

I don't know anything about the 18k vs 20k difference re Rose gold. 18k vs 20k yellow gold is visually apparent. Th 20k rose gold looks like it has a soft glow, very nice.

sarahb: your post made me smile. On David's photo's the gold looked more yellow than in reality. Also, I was afraid that the warm colour would overwhelm the poor Aqua. So I was wondering whether I should have chosen platinum instead. But I love the combination in real life!!

The 14K and 18K rings I have from David and Caysie are quite pink in appearance. My RG rings from a local jeweller are 18K and look more warm red in appearance. This 20K also looks warm red. It's the red sister of 20K YG (ah, it's so difficult to describe colours ).

The appearance of my new bypass ring is different again as that one is polished. The milgrain and engraving create a more classic look.

That last photo is gorgeous, Is that how it looks IRL? I really like your choices--that rubelite ring of yours was one of my favs, but this aqua is giving it a run for its money!! There were a few pics that didn't look nearly as rose gold, whereas this photo is definitely a strong rose gold. And I like it a lot!! Your choices are wonderful.

Edited to add: I think the rose gold is perfect--rather than platinum. I think the plat would 've washed out the shade of blue, the rose gold makes it pop! JMHO.

Another STUNNING ring! I really like the way the color of the stone reflects and changes due to the unusual cutting of the stone. It's a really interesting combination! Enjoy!

Acinom, this ring is just amazing and so very worthy to join your "family" collection! I'm so glad you chose DK to bring the design to life on this particular ring. That beautiful blue is so eye catching with the rose gold. The design and delicate prongs are so lovely as is the engraving & milgrain work. Beautifully executed! It looks so beautiful on you & also with the "family" in your group photos. You take the most gorgeous pics! Congrats!

Sarahb: thank you! The ring is indeed clearly RG in real life. In some lighting it looks more strong red while in other lighting conditions it looks more pinkish red. I am now really happy with my choice. The reason I choose RG is that I indeed thought that a white metal would wash out the colour of the Aqua.

Thank you Stone Hunter and Elliot I enjoyed reading your kind words.

Rockinruby: thanks! I actually take all my pics with my iPhone as I never learned to handle a real camera
I am so happy with David's excellent work.

I don't think I would have had the guts to make those metal/stone choices, Acinom, but I'm so glad you did. They look good together, and I'm glad they're growing on you! It's so great to see the final result. DK outdid himself again. Just lovely!

Thank you for your kind words Sparkliesluver! It was actually a quite uninformed decision by a still inexperienced buyer
Platinum would have been good in hindsight but I was afraid for a washed out look and I felt this stone was screaming for a warm metal. Color-wise, yellow gold would probably have been the best option. When I first saw the pics I loved the look, but it had to grow on me. I actually wear this ring quite often and I have grown to love the quirky look. David did such a great job on the proportions and engraving.
