Jim P I worked with Amy to create this ring for my wife. It was my first project with Amy and the result exceeded expectations. We started with the stone, a lovely but not large ruby--less than a carat--and married it with a variation of a design that I had seen on Amy's site. I tend to look at design the way the Italians look at food. If you have great ingredients you should let them do the talking. It takes a confident designer (or cook) to let the ingredients tell the story. In this case, we had a pretty stone, a woman (my wife) who likes things understated and straight up, and a designer with a vision on how to make that work. I've given my wife some nice rings over our course of our marriage, but this one is by far the most elegant.
