I lava you

 

Michael from San Francisco wrote a lovely email about his girlfriend, which inspired the design of the Lava ring...

 

"...before she ever said "I love you" she hedged and said "I lava you," while holding up a picture she drew of a smiling volcano. Whenever I'm down, she pulls out that picture and bounces it around. I wanted to talk to you about making a ring for the girl I lava."

 

The lava ring is made with palladium and 18k yellow gold and set with orange sapphires and rubies.

Platinum, 18k yellow Gold, Sapphires.

Rob and Rachel had a wonderful first date, but they met just as Rachel was about to fly to the UK for months away. However, as Rob writes.... "the Icelandic Volcano erupted, planes were unable to fly and her trip was cancelled. We saw each other many times during the time she would have been travelling; in a very real way that volcano made the relationship happen."

 

Inspired by Rob's wonderful story, Eva designed and made Rachel's Volcano Ring, in celebration of the firey serendipity that brought them together.

Palladium, White, Sky Blue and Emerald colored diamonds.

 

Erin and Shanna wrote a lovely email from Washington. One of their very favorite activities together is trail riding in the beautiful Pacific Northwest - after sketches and emails back and forth, the design for their 'Between the ears" rings was born. Their horses ears are picked out in palladium with Mount Baker in the background.

Jo wrote from England to enquire about creating a 'Bee ring' for her.
This Bee ring represents all that is dear to her. Bee has been her nickname since childhood and her husband and children 's names start with the letter B.

 

She chose rich blue sapphire for her main stone, matched with small precision-cut sapphires of the same blue in the body of the bee.
