Following are the photos from a custom ring I made for a 45th wedding anniversary. I have attached the email I received from a client wanting to create a very special ring - and photos of the process.
The alexandrite was from her pendant - some additional stones were provided and I selected new diamonds to match.
"Amy,
The
main stone is synthetic alexandrite that was given by my Dad when he
proposed to her. At that time, my Dad thought it was a natural stone.
He got it from local jewelry store in Vietnam about 45 years ago.
Anyway, she made a necklace with this stone and she's been wearing about
40 years. She gave this to me about 3 years ago when I had my first
daughter. But I know that how much she treasured this stone. So, I just
want to make a very special ring for her with this stone for her 45th
anniversary.
Sorry for the long email but, I really want this ring
to turn out a very special and fine ring. Also, I want this ring to look
like a art deco and delicate(don't want to look either thick nor
bulky). Any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so
much!!" P .Kim, April, 2013
