This is a ring I actually started when I was still in school. Some how it never ended up getting completed, not sure why might have deemed it "not good enough"...
The stone was actually the first stone I ever bought and at the time it would have been a big deal. Having not much extra money, going to school full time, working at Birks in the Eaton Centre, and having a baby boy at home, money was tight and there was not much to play with so one stayed clear of temptation. One day though this was my big exciting purchase a faceted rutilated quartz not the easiest shape to set and not the best quality, but I'm sure it was a real gem in my eyes. Well, I decided it need to be finished. I added limestone inlay and 23kt gold leaf into the band.
