As I began to delve into the multiple layers of well packaged merchandise I started to feel like I was playing "pass the parcel" at a birthday party!
First the plastic envelope... RIP
Then another layer of plastic wrap... RIP
Then a few layers of bubble-wrap... tossed over my head
Then a big dark blue 1791 box (delicately saved for re-packing purposes)
Then a smaller dark blue 1791 box (again saved for re-packing)
Then a small ring box... which refused to open until I realized it had a tiny (maybe child resistant) lock..
Followed by the Mother Lode! WOW!
Thank you for such a nice piece of art. one that she will never see in a Michael Hill store!

I just wanted to give a big thank you for all the work on the ring - it looked even better than I thought it would and my now fiancee loved it!!! The timing was pretty incredible too, as I had planned to go ahead and propose on friday night, without a ring (controversially!) but then to have the ring finished early and literally hours in before the deed was great! So thanks Alice for all your work on the ring and everyone for being cheerful and helpful and encouraging throughout, I appreciate it all!
Speranza Diamond Ring Review
A three stone diamond ring will appeal to the most romantic at heart; the diamonds are said to represent the past, present and future of your love. The Speranza design introduces another symbolic element; its name means hope.
The Speranza is a three stone ring with tapered baguettes. A round brilliant nestles at the centre of the ring, gently balanced by a diamond on either side. The focus is on the larger diamond, representing the present, but it would seem lost without the support of the smaller stones at its side, representative of past and future love. Through this design we witness the loving qualities of loyalty and perseverance.
A slender ring band provides an unpretentious framework for the diamonds, the flat shank offsetting perfectly the soft curves of the round brilliant centre stone. The centre stone is set in a traditional four claw design which is effective in its simplicity.
