You should treat yourself to a manicure and feel extra-special wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139967 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 16:49:21 +0000 Angie 139967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. </p> <p>May you remember your spunky grandmother each time you wear it, Ele. Actually, it would make a fabulous wedding ring in my book. I am all for nontraditional wedding bands. I sport a 1938 estate piece that doesn't look anything like a wedding ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139963 Sat, 03 Apr 2010 15:35:00 +0000 Ele 139963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again, everyone! Bumping this so Angie can see, too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139447 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 06:51:33 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 139447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning ring! And I love your story too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139438 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:45:46 +0000 Lena 139438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is such a brilliant idea and I'll definitely keep this in mind about some jewelery I've inherited. </p> <p>Ele, the ring is gorgeous and of course the green fits you so well. Have fun and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139425 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:50:20 +0000 Sihaya 139425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele not only is the ring gorgeous, I imagine that it fits your personality from what I imagine your personality to be. And what a wonderful story about the citrine ring and the jeweller. Movie material! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139424 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:41:51 +0000 yublocka 139424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow ele this ring is so beautiful! I hope it does become an everyday ring for you! Thanks for showing us the final outcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139266 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:10:43 +0000 Katiepea 139266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Ele, the story about your citrine ring and the jeweller is an amazing coincidence! (I could almost envisage spooky "dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby" music playing in the background whilst I read that. Hmmmm, that read funny - please note that I AM a music teacher, so I hope that comment isn't too weird - I sometimes think I could live my whole life by a sound-track in my head! Ooops, I digress... )</p> <p>Your emerald ring is very original and absolutely beautiful. I can see why you are absolutely in love with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139262 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:42:37 +0000 Ele 139262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm loving it so far, but have only worn it to browse online and watch TV I'm not sure yet whether this will prove an "everyday" piece for me- I certainly won't wear it to work, to exercise, or when cooking/crafting of any kind. But for out and about, shopping etc, think I might. I haven't worn a ring in years so it is going to take some getting used to!</p> <p>Julie, I'm laughing at your cheeky comment. While I have no immediate plans to wed, I'll definitely be going to this jeweler if and when the time comes! My Mum's been going to him for years, I have a couple of his pieces and am really attached to the style. It would likely be something really similar (gold, bezel-set) but with a more "neutral" stone. I'm not a fan of diamonds so I'll have to keep thinking- luckily, I have time!</p> <p>Actually, odd story about my relationship with the jeweler. When my family moved into their current house, I found a gold and citrine ring between the floorboards in my new bedroom. I was only 3 years old so didn't wear it, but treasured it for years. When I was 16 it no longer fit me (it was *very* dainty), but I really wanted to wear it. So my Mum took it to her jeweler to see about having it re-set in some way for me, as a birthday present. When we got it back, he told us that when he first saw the little gold ring, he couldn't believe it. That ring was the first piece of jewelry he ever sold, right after he got into the business almost 30 years ago! How it ended up in our house we still haven't figured out (as it hadn't been sold to any of the owners that we knew of). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139228 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:28:59 +0000 AJ 139228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow, wow! The emerald just looks beautiful! Such a pretty design! This will be a wonderful piece to enjoy and lovingly pass down through the generations. Great job making an heirloom piece into something that you'll cherish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139225 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:12:03 +0000 marianne 139225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, it's beautiful! The green stone is gorgeous and I love the design. That's great that you were able to create something that has a sentimental value and is also very "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139138 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:55:01 +0000 shana 139138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, that is beautiful! I LOVE the east-west setting to the stone - so unique &amp; unexpected. My husband and I both wear our wedding rings on our right hands (it is traditional in both of our faiths) so I wear my "fashion" ring on the left! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139137 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:49:14 +0000 Debbie 139137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139115 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:14:38 +0000 Dusty 139115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139111 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:48:23 +0000 Inge 139111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful Ele!! And there's just something about one of a kind, unique jewellery pieces - the story behind them, the design details and how attached you grow to them. Enjoy your ring!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139089 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:57:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 139089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so envious of your beautiful ring and *being very cheeky* if you ever had the inclination to marry it would be the perfect alternative wedding ring;0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139086 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:51:56 +0000 Louise 139086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139073 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:07:28 +0000 chellebrate 139073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139072 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:05:20 +0000 Tansie 139072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, that is just beautiful! I am sure you are so happy with it. I bet that is one of those pieces of jewellery that you either wear every day, or wear for big occasions or difficult things - weddings and such, but also job interviews, difficult discussions and the like. You will look at and feel strong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139069 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:00:03 +0000 Anonymous 139069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm dying of envy you lucky girl!! I want an emerald so bad, and I absolutely love your design, and your pretty hand.

Your ring is *gorgeous*, Ele. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-ring#post-139058 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:28:33 +0000 Ele 139058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted a couple months ago about <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-ring-to-be">a ring I was thinking of having made</a> (out of a piece of nice but not-really-my-style jewelry my grandmother gave me). Some of you expressed interest in seeing the finished piece, and I can finally oblige! My sister met up with my Mum over the weekend (they were in Italy for the World Figure Skating Championships- I'm gutted that I didn't get to go with them), and got the ring for me. I love it! </p> <p><a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/ring/DSCN6307.jpg">top</a><br /> <a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/ring/DSCN6305.jpg">side</a><br /> <a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/ring/DSCN6303.jpg">on hand</a></p> <p>(I'm not planning on wearing it on my left hand, but can only take a one-handed photo with my right! Also, thinking that I need a manicure.) </p>
