You took the time to design it well and now you can let it go. So glad to hear you gifted it also. Since this is my hobby, I gift a lot of stuff and find it quite satisfying. Thanks for sharing.

I had planned to say more in an praising the artistry and more. But right now the little gray cells are not working too good. Hopefully those little cells will wake up soon and I’ll input and intelligent comment.

Andrea, I don’t mind when the asymmetrical balance is deliberate. Just bugs me when I have to scramble to make unintentional imbalance into balance.

Mary, staying true to my standards is a big thing for me. I’m glad you appreciate that, too.

Tara, what do you mean by cop-outs in masculine pieces? I don’t do enough/see enough of things done for men outside of the big box jewelers to understand, right off the bat.

I think it is quite masculine but without any of the cop-outs used in many masculine pieces. Well done!

I’m sure your client was delighted! It obviously took a lot of creativity and work to make it so special. Who cares if it’s not symmetrical! Although I also need to make everything symmetrical, it’s very refreshing when it’s not.
