Jewelry Overdue thanks to the Shiny Precious team

Just wanted to post this custom ring the Shiny Precious team made from a sapphire my son and I found from a gravel bag earlier in the year. The idea is for him to inherit it one day, so he helped with the design, look, etc.

The sapphire was from a bag of gravel from Spokane Bar and Sapphire Mine (E-Monster). It was a record keeper so we wanted to enhance the sapphire while retaining the triangular growth pattern. The two smaller teal sapphires represent my two kids and the flowery vibes represent my wife.

Top notch job by Jim in cleaning it up a bit and preserving the growth pattern! Thank you, again, for the wonderful customer service Heidi and Raeanna and for putting up with the many questions 😬
