Artist's Comments

Ok, finally I have been able to surprise Cynthia.

This is Cynthia's Christmas/Anniversary gift from me. You may remember the sapphire crystal that was her GG graduation gift in Feb 07.

Well, I stole it and worked with the jewelers at her store to create this ring. I drew the design and the jeweler made it more practical and did the benchwork (wax-carving, casting, setting). It was a hand-carved wax, not a CADCAM, which is nice.

I'm really happy with the job they did, because my hand is not good enough to create a ring of this quality, especially in platinum. They did a great job finishing it and maintaining the wavy/watery look I wanted. It looks great on her hand. I'm very pleased.

Hope you like it!

They did an absolutely amazing job with it -your design is stunning, too! I love the circles all over it - that seems to be what adds the most unique parts of it to me~

The stone setting, too :love:

Hooray for more water-y rings out there - that is something, IMO, you can never go wrong with! :love:

A beautiful ring, with a stunning design that sits perfectly with the stone. Lucky Cynthia!

*whistle* Now that's an anniversary present. Brick me for waxing poetic, but the setting reminds me of a cowrie shell floating in the sea. Really gorgeous work.
