Continue readingThis was a commission for this incredible swirly tanzanite stone. My customer decided she would like to have a portrait of her horse carved on each side. I had never seen an Icelandic horse before (they have CRAZY hair!) and my internet feed is still full of google ads trying to get me to buy an all-inclusive vacation to Reykjavik, stable my horses at a local barn, purchase the newest in riding boots, etc.
Check this stone out! The side stones are natural amber-colored rose-cut diamonds. I took about fifty million photos of this ring; please click through to see them..

This leaf & acorn might be my favorite part of the ring!
Okay.. maybe it’s the stone. It’s an untreated Montana Sapphire that is a lovely teal blue in the outside light, but a cool green in indoor lighting. The cut is a unique angular cushion that I really liked.
