Are you a romantic?

This gorgeous ring (not my design – wish it was) was made by a couple in Bali a while ago. Kendall rang me a few weeks ago to ask me to alter it. I hadn’t seen the ring when we first talked about it but she said it was rustic but that because she and her fiancé had made it together it meant a lot to her.

When I saw the ring and what she wanted I was a bit hesitant but thought it wouldn't be too much trouble. Little did I know and a number of things went wrong when I started to work with it. I’m sure it was just the way the stars were aligned that day but anyway with a bit of thought and some new found expertise I got the changes made.

The next problem was would it fit? I explained to Kendall that I’d had a few problems but thought I’d got it just about right. Well as it turned out I had. It fits her close to perfectly… though I’m waiting to hear how it goes now we have some hot weather (some of us get swollen fingers when it gets super hot and rings can get a bit tight).

I was really pleased I was able to resize the ring – I had to reduce the size. Normally this would be a simple alteration but with this design it was quite tricky. Anyway everyone is happy and I must admit I love the design.

What do you think?

Would you make a silver ring with someone special? Or aren’t you romantic…
