This ring was designed around this gorgeous 1.5ct diamond. A handful of bright, dare I say, “jewel tone” stones were added around the diamond: a berry colored garnet, a tsavorite green garnet at the top & a Pariaba tourmaline at the bottom, and on the other side is a gorgeous yellow-orange spessartite garnet. The flower is sort of field-marsh inspired, but I didn’t base it particularly on any specific species, just went off and carved an idealized bloom spike. I imagine the flowers are yellow in my head. 18K.

Garnets have the most gorgeous colors! The bright saturation even in small material, and the refraction/dispersion of the crystal is just the best.

And I don’t think I’ll ever get over how gorgeous I think the Pariaba tourmalines are–such a glowing ocean shallows blue-green color. I price a couple of these guys every year at the gem show and it always shocks me how much they cost. Le sigh.
