Just to thank you for giving us such a well-constructed and fascinating talk, which was very much enjoyed by all our members. It was particularly good to learn of all the more unusual gems with which you work.

Just a quick note to say how much I like my lovely engagement ring! I am so pleased with every aspect of the ring. Now I stare at it so much, I appreciate the value of having a ring that is beautiful from all angles. The details of the setting are extremely elegant, and not does it look good itself, but it also lets in lots of light to the stones. I am continually surprised by how bright and eye-catching the diamond can be (which I imagine is not just down to the quality of the stones themselves but also to the round brilliant shape and excellent cut quality), but also the sapphires too . It is also interesting note how the colour of sapphires can sometimes appear different in different light conditions.

I think the ring is a lovely balance between being a little bit different yet still a classic and timeless design. As you said, the ring doesn’t catch on anything (I even tried it on my tights) so I can wear it without worrying, which is just as important, so it won’t live in a box! I haven’t taken it off and I have had a lot of compliments on it.

So, many thanks for your patience and guidance in helping us identify what we wanted!
