NEXT PROJECT !!!

Hey Ladies!

I have been commissioned by M and B to work on their e-ring. It's going to be a classic 3-stone ring with the Asscher as the main stone.




I just love these sunlight pictures .. how the stone sparkles each time the light hits the stone.




The sides are clear Step Cut Trapezoids ..



The order is being processed and i can't wait for the metalwork. I hope to work with both M and B a matching band.

Stay tuned !

R tells me it holds very special meaning for her.. it had been a time and a place somewhere in New Orleans .. it must be very special .. she remembers the Fleur de Lys on the wrought iron gate ..

Her Stats ..

Jan has been one of my earliest customers. I have to dearly thank her for 'taking the plunge'; with me being so far away in Singapore, and she being in USA. Jan's first project with me was the JAN RING (named after her, of course :) This is the first JAN RING with many that followed thereafter ..

I think this was the last project we collaborated together. This is a 8mm Asscher with clear moissies and natural green garnets..

Jan.. I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL !
