Guide 2011

a torch song version 2.0 This is the second in my Torch Song series. The initial design of this ring was done for wonderful young woman who had seen the first version of Torch Song on the back cover of Ventana. She brought me a family diamond that was about 2/3 carat and two smaller diamonds. She wanted the gem in the torch to be a pale blue like an Aquamarine. But an Aquamarine won’t stand up to everyday wear, so I found a pale blue sapphire that was the exact color we needed. Sapphire is very durable. The ring is in our proprietary 19K white gold that never yellows and doesn’t ever need “dipping,” the torch is in 18K yellow gold. You too can have the ring of your dreams — and at an affordable price. Please come by or call me soon.
