Wow thank you Vanderbleek.  I appreciate the kind words.  This could be an interesting project. 

I had Dave (TipTopGem) make a custom ring for my fiance, and it turned out wonderfully. He's very good, very knowledgeable, and very friendly.

Looking for something for my girl (engagement ring), but I thought why not solicit Bitcointalk first! Then we can do business in BTC and be happy!

Here are some examples of things she likes and why she does.

I love this design. I have seen her do it with multiple stones and they are all beautiful. I especially love the way the center stone is held. I like that it has a matching band, though it leaves something to be desired. Also a bit much in the bling department. I want something feminine, but not in your fave. I'm not a real housewife of Orange County.

These two are similar the difference being the stone obviously. This ring is a little too simple, but I like the rose cut and the dark peacock pearl. The lotus setting is feminine and is heading towards something I would like

Really like this but would want it made in silver and with a larger stone

I really like the leaf pattern and how the engagement ring and band fit together like puzzle pieces. I also like the setting of the stones, because it looks like the leaves are holding it.

This one is a bit far out, I don't like it, but she loves hedgehogs and said it could be "inspirational".

Things she likes: nature, slytherin (mostly colors ), hedgehog quills maybe?, flowers (lotus setting), leafs

She would like, verbatim :
"Would like something unique. Lotus, leafs, nature, even slytherin themes.
Like Dark colored pearls, most green stones (jade, tourmaline, emerald) both cut and raw
Sterling silver primarily, though also like rose and white gold
would prefer center stone to be about 6mm"



Any crafters here of the sorts?
