@Pyrite2616 , @Sammycat1 - Review of J465292 - What a beautiful rhodolite sparkler from Dallas Prince! Its style is reminiscent of platinum and diamond filigree estate rings from the past, but more substantial in metal weight and design. Such deep pinkish raspberry/cranberry color and sparkle come from the rhodolites, and there is so much additional sparkle from the reflective silver and white zircons. This ring is dazzling, and elongating on the finger. It is a "Wow!" of a ring. It is a more formal ring in its design, so I would wear it out with friends, out to a restaurant, out to an event, or out to an art exhibit or gallery. Gosh, it is gorgeous. I don't want to take it off of my finger.

Dallas Prince should hire you to write her marketing copy. It sounds like a ring DH would describe as one you can wear anywhere! I'm glad it met your expectations. I wish the Q would feature more of her pieces.

 

Enjoy your new ring and wear it in the best of health!

@Sammycat1 - Thank you for your kind words. Dallas Prince has her own unique style for her jewelry, which I consider a good thing, especially as so many designers are retiring after many successful years in the business, and there are not very many to step in to fill the void. Dallas Prince sources her gemstones well, and her rings are constructed to be perfectly balanced on the finger so they will not shift. That adds more cost as more metal is required, but I appreciate that detail. However, just give me an intensely saturated gemstone in a piece of jewelry, and I am a happy clam. Add in some nice metal design work around that wonderful gemstone specimen, and I am a totally thrilled clam!

 

Dallas mentioned in her video for the rhodolite ring that rhodolite garnet was becoming more popular now in the industry. That will be a lovely change to see-- a sudden abundance of new rhodolite jewelry featured by different designers.  Pink girls, rejoice!
