Yep, it is in fact white gold !!..but the lighting was so bad it has come out under-exposed. Normally I use some very smart round perspex columns (square and round) and what I use above is for the top shelf of my spiffing display cabinet..YAYYYYYY !!

Todays fayre was canceled !...no electrics !!...that's one reason why me has been able to be here today.

Mam..that ring above is a ring that was designed to shape around a customers engagement ring exactly....we scan the engagement ring into a 3d laser scanner and get the exact shape and dimensions...based on the size and specs that the customer wants we can then create that ring from scratch knowing it is going to fit perfectly.


Well there's a whole ton of cuts, princess cut,, brilliant cut, baguettes (my favourite), emerald cut...though the one I think you may be thinking of is a marquise cut....

Is this what you mean ?...I've exaggerated the length !!..(after all..me is a bloke !! [;)])

LOL...it could so easily be a mans ring...we'd just need to make it wider.

We are not selling a range of ready made rings..we create rings to the customers exact specs....it is truly bespoke !

here's a baguette...me luffs them!

 OH.. I have seen those.. Pretty, but I don't like big stones do they make that shape in small delicate sizes too? It is pretty with the different levels coming up to the top. Nice..is it enlarged for our view or just a large stone...

No, not static as in static electricity. Be abstract.

Electro magnetic static of a sort, or is that possible?

Some believe it has an inherent intelligence but it is not brain or static.
