A Ring on Vacation

Welcome to my world: the "backyard" of the Sonesta Beach Resort in Key Biscayne, where I grew up and still call home. Granted Red Sky Bling isn't a particularly beachy ring, but I had to show you a snippet of the natural beauty that inspires my creations. Also, the deep red of the Swarovski Crystals just looks so beautiful in this shot, I couldn't resist.

The rings I'll share with you today speak more to the sophistication and sparkle of many of my clients, and they serve as an excellent example of how we work together to create the perfect piece. Every ring here was created specifically for my client, Eve, to accompany a bracelet she purchased as a gift for herself. The bracelet is called Aria and it's been getting a lot of notice lately thanks in large part to a terrific write up in The Shopping Blog.

This prosperity ring is Bring on the Night, and it is a a balance of Gold, Silver, Cultured Pearls, Black Onyx and Swarovski Crystals. It is a match for the color scheme of the bracelet, however the pearls are uniquely shaped, so it doesn't have a too matchy-matchy feel to it.

This one is called Blonyx Bling. It's a protection ring, with it's five symmetrical components of faceted Black Onyx, Sterling Silver and Swarovski Crystals.

Centered is a healing ring that features Black Onyx, Silver Vermeille Swarovski Crystal Roundelles and 14k Gold Fill for the Beads and Base. While the bracelet does not have any Swarovski components, Eve's desire was for the ring to have "lots of bling." As you can see, I ran with it.

This prosperity ring is Magical. Jet Swarovski Crystals, Gold and Silver Vermeille Swarovski Rondelles combine for an elegant evening out ring. As you can see, I took the black and gold components from the bracelet and added Eve's requested bling.

For Eve's Night Out, I took the literal approach, and combined 3 exact elements of the bracelet - gold, the small silver-gray Swarovski pearls and the faceted Black Onyx - with Eve's requested bling in the Swarovski Crystal elements.



I hope you've enjoyed this peek into the process. Please bookmark this blog, and come back soon for another glimpse into the creative process.
