<p>Because I will make anything for anyone, I get a lot of requests for non-conventional engagement rings.  This particular client knew what design he wanted and he knew what colors of stones he wanted for a ring and I just had to make it for him.<span id="more-964"></span></p>
<p>He initially sent me this picture of a piece he must have either found on a different site or created on a different site.<br />
<a href="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jpg.jpg"><img src="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jpg.jpg" alt="" title="jpg" width="166" height="166" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-965" /></a><br />
He also told me he wanted Turquoise for the center stones and 4 diamonds on the side instead of 2 diamonds and 2 brown stones.  </p>
<p>I sent him a render of my version of the ring he sent me. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Render-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Render-1.jpg" alt="" title="Render 1" width="570" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-966" /></a></p>
<p>The program I use to render my designs does not have Turquoise so I used Blue Topaz instead since the colors are close.  He ended up liking the stones so much he asked to see what the piece would look like with faceted Blue Topaz.  He was looking for a color not a stone so he wanted whatever would look the best in the ring. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Render-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Render-2.jpg" alt="" title="Render 2" width="570" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-967" /></a></p>
<p>He loved the look of the faceted stones and decided to go ahead with manufacturing using 14K white gold as the metal.</p>
<p>Even from the raw casting, I could tell this ring was going to be really neat.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/CIMG2362.jpg"><img src="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/CIMG2362.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG2362" width="570" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-968" /></a></p>
<p>When all was set and polished, the piece turned out amazing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/CIMG2443.jpg"><img src="http://www.leahashley.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/CIMG2443.jpg" alt="" title="CIMG2443" width="570" height="428" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-969" /></a></p>
<p>The client was super happy and said he would come back to me for wedding rings when the time comes!  I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
