THE QUEEN OF HEARTS RING



14k white gold ring with over 30 1.8-1.9mm red enhanced diamonds set in the band and bezel.
With a .65 carat center diamond that has a metallic shade and one very small flaw.
Over all price about $1000.

Hello my blog friends. Here is a special treat dear to me. I recently got legal joined to my man of the last 5 years. To commemorate this event I commissioned a ring by Katrina LaPenne. She created this ring based on a combination of ideas I wanted to have embodied.


It was inspired by 3 pieces from 3 different designers. First Malcolm Betts who's work remind me of King Arther. It so strong, bold and elegant. Second the side pave work of this particular Me & Ro ring. Last the bead set work of this St Kilda eternity band.

I wanted it looked as tho it belonged in the Italian renaissances, the movie Excalibur or on the finger of a middle easten Queen. GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!!!

I wanted a ring that's truly one of a kind while following my ideas that a unique ring doesn't have to be expensive. I had it custom made by a wonderful goldsmith and I bought all the stones off ebay. It just took patience and research.

Thank you so much Katrina I love it so much.

Me and Ro Is Ok By Me



ME & Ro - Pave Solitaire $1,340.00

I know Me and Ro is a fair sized operation with four boutique stores and over 100 employees, but I really love their work. Indian and Tibetan styled pieces using Indian diamonds and more. Over the weekend I stopped by their lower Manhattan store and tried on a few pieces. The sales lady was great., and really helpful with a personal style. (I was digging her double one side nose piercing.) I want to post this ring in particular. I've been a fan of this ring since I saw it but I had never gotten a chance to see it in person, until now. The pave on the side was so fine and tiny I was very impressed. I've seen rings online at a couple of places with slightly different pricing, only a difference of a few hundred dollars. It’s a great ring for the price I think. I also tried on a champagne diamond eternity band I wish I had a picture of it to post, but unfortunately Me and Ro don’t have all their pieces online so you just have to go there and look for it.
