Hello group,
I started this a WIP project but I decided to just post the slabs, cabs and completed rings. It was best to create a video instead of images for the Lab I think. Its a 3 minute video. I kind screwed it up as I had my daughter holding the iPhone and I was not looking at the screen, so when you hear me say "look at the flash on this one" and its a black rock I am not going crazy LOL. Over all I am happy with them, always could be some improvement on silver work, most of them have a small design difference to them to give some variance.
The last ring is my wife's and if you watch this you need to watch to the very end to actually see the colors in her ring. It is IMO truly a stunning piece of Lab. This ring has seen bath of of sulpher
Thanks again to our own Carleton who started me off with the best of material!

The video is a great idea, I really got to see the stones. The rings are fine indeed. Excellent work, thanks for the show.

Very professional. The stones are simply gorgeous and the settings are the same. My favorite is the deep blue one with the simple setting.

Thanks everybody,
Stu, sorry none are for sale, all were made for family members.
Susan, yepper I am a Canuck eh! It's funny really, 3 of the rings are destined to Laguna Beach, CA. (Niece and 2 great niece's) My Niece says I have an accent,if thats the case then she should have an accent to me, should she not? Don't hear it myself:) 2 more rings are on their way to Seattle, 1 to Calgary, 1 to Edmonton and the last stays in my little hill billy town in Saskatchewan.
5 of the 8 rings are going south of the border, my family abandoned me for the good ole US of A. Y'all living on the west coast may slide into the ocean one day,but at least you will do on a warm day LOL.
Next time I get down to Laguna maybe some of us can get together?
Thanks again
Tom

Beautiful work, Tom!!! Each one has it's own character. The stones are incredible, too. Well done. I'm sure they will be well received.
