As promised, a picture. My sweet husband made this ring for me. The gentleman that we purchased the rough from said that it was a cousin to aquamarine.

That's really nice, Taylor ! But he obviously didn't just make the ring (like that alone wasn't enough), but he cut, ground & polished the stone too !
What a wonderful present.

I love it! All of the extra credit! Lots of teamwork here. Our process is that he does the slabbing...the extra messy stuff We both lay out cabs. We both trim. I do most of the preforming. He does all of the dopping. He gets extra gold stars! On rare occasions he will make a freeform cab, but mostly grinding stone is not his thing. What happens to a cab...that's all up to him! He surprised me with this for Christmas. Yes, I am spoiled!

Sorry I missed it. Edited to add: after posting this about the ring I scrolled down and saw the pendant/earrings set! Holy cow that's a really beautiful set with wonderful pattern captures on all three pieces!
