Artist's Comments

A very special commissioned piece with a diamond provided by the customer. His idea was a star/sun central gemstone with smaller ones all around, like tiny comets...

Hollymolly, I've never set such a big baby, it was VERY intimidating. Hey, I'm not Boucheron or Cartier ...
In the end, all went well and I think the ring is ok.

I wanted something as usual ancient looking, fragile but still sturdy, not too catchy (this is why I lowered the central diamond so it doesn't catch everything around)

The 6 brilliant cut accents are quite old, they all came from a sapphire and diamond ring made in 1920/1930. The sapphire was scratched but the diamonds were perfect.

Thanks Tom, you've been a gem.

So,
Beautiful work. The setting is a perfect match for the stones.

Yeah ... I agree with setting the central diamond low. This looks great, because it's not pretentious. When a gorgeous setting. I just love period jewelry.

Wow, it's gorgeous! How do you make your wax castings so delicate? I always ending up breaking them if I try to make them that dainty!!

Everytime I see this I think of Stardust, probablly because Stardust is coming to theaters this week but still, gorgeous.

Wow, vraiment réussit! La bague garde look délicat même avec les 7 diamants. Je trouve les arabesques sur les côtés vraiment très belle.
