Wow! That's a winner! (which is just what we would expect from you). The light really plays off the diamond cut facets adding all kinds of interest and the illustion of color. You certainly pulled this one off successfully. You should score big points with your sweety giving you a perfect opportunity to buy some more tools. That's what engraving is really all about anyway isn't it? A justification for yet more tools?
Thanks for posting the pics!

That is excellent! I have a question. It looks like a chain edge around the circumfrence. Was that already on there or did you do tht too? And the Rose is outstanding, but that framing design blows me away. The frosty looking area is stippling? Very unique. Your sweetie should be very proud, but you don't mind if I don't show it to my wife do you?.....Unique!...Ron S


Don't look Abigail, and all you other ladies out there!!!!

Too late Ron! I saw it.
It's really really pretty. I mean, if a guy were going to give a rose to his sweetie, this would be the way to go.
Great job Stephen. I know your sweetie is one happy lady!

Thanks, Abigail.... As you know a happy lady makes for a happy man. I'm a HAPPY man.

Thanks Ron, It is No surprise that you have a good eye for the details.
The bezel came with the rope. I bead blasted part of the border to soften the bright diamond cut bezel. I love experimenting with different finishes. Stephen
