Solitaire Engagement Ring

This sterling silver engagement ring has an 8mm Cubic Zirconia (CZ) set in it. This high quality stone has lots of fire and at $48. won’t leave you penniless.

When I was younger and getting engaged, times were different. The economy was booming, though at the time we sure didn’t know it. Gold and platinum were far cheaper. We thought that was how things would always be.

Now, it’s time to be more practical. Maybe you want a honeymoon instead of an expensive ring but want a ring just a big and beautiful. Maybe you want to buy a ring more beautiful than you can afford. Maybe you’re thinking about saving for a down payment on a home.

My wedding ring shrank… okay maybe my fingers grew a bit over the past 10 years. I didn’t want to alter my wedding set now because the price of gold is so high. Also I wanted a bigger stone than I dare buy. So I made myself this ring. It’s so pretty I decided to make them available to other’s in the same dilemma.

Although this ring looks real enough to fool anyone into thinking it’s a natural diamond, don’t try to pass it off as one.  The first thing a practical girl will do is go have it checked at a her local jewelery store.  Jewelers have electronic tool that can differentiate between natural diamonds and cubic zirconias. 

This ring can be customized with engraving.

I haven’t yet tested other 8mm trillion stones in this setting, but I’m willing to give it a try by request.  What’s your favorite rock and ring size?

This ring would be crazy beautiful with a white cubic zirconia… and I can knock some $ off the price as I can get great deals on CZs with loads of fire.

Love Is Patient Purity or Promise Ring Size 7 in Sterling Silver

This hand carved promise or purity ring was inspired by a customer whose daughter lost the first ”Love is Patient” ring I made  in the Brazos River (photo below).  So the customer had me make a second similar ”Love is Patient” ring.  A few weeks went by when my customer found her daughter’s second ring on her window sill and put it somewhere safe so wouldn’t get lost, and then forgot where that safe place was.  

Laugh if you will, but, who among us hasn’t put something somewhere safe only to forget where that safe place was?  I made a third ring to replace the second. So far so good. I”m crossing my fingers for her younger daughter who got  the fourth similar ring for a recent occassion. 

So anyway, I thought it would be nice to have a cast version of this ring.  so I carved this out of wax and had it cast.  Then I made a mold of my first casting so I could make more when I had an order.  Current pricing is $140. as (of  Feb 17, 2012) My palmscale says it weighs 4.9 grams. 
The above ring is only available in size 7.  I’ve made a mold so I can cast these up to order.   If you want a different size I can certaintly carve something up… I’m thinking next time I’ll carve the letters out instead of carving out the background, like the one above.   Love may be Patient… but me, not so much.   I like to change things up. 

Original Love is Patient Purity or Promise Ring in Sterling Silver

The rings she had me make were formed out of heavy silver wire, soldered and engraved.  

I do custom jewelry work by request,  typically, in response to email from someone who googled whatever it is he or she was looking for but didn’t find.   The customer tells me what he or she isn’t finding and wants to know can I custom make it… usually the answer is “yes.”  I ask some questions regarding budget, materials and time frame.  Often, I prepare a proposal sketch if it’s not a jewelry item I’ve done before.  At that point, I usually give a price.   Once the customer has agreed to a design and a price, I send a bill via Paypal.  When the bill is paid I make the piece.  Lead time is typically less than three weeks.
