Was
getting
engaged
and
didn't
want
a
diamond
ring,
so
we
looked
up
a
few
gem
stores
online.
Eventually
went
with
MADLY
for
their
wide
range
of
gemstones,
creative
flair
and
craftsmanship
skills.
This
was
our
very
first
bespoke
experience,
but
Libby
(our
assigned
designer)
was
very
bubbly
and
patient
in
showing
us
their
gem
range.
We
ultimately
chose
something
entirely
unexpected:
an
orange
teardrop
sapphire.
It's
not
a
shape
I'd
considered
to
make
my
ring,
but
my
(now)
fiance
and
I
fell
in
love
with
it
and
its
warm
autumny
hues
that
we
just
went
for
it.
The
designing
process
was
a
little
difficult
since
I
hadn't
a
clue
how
I'd
want
it
to
look
like,
but
Libby
was
very
patient
with
us
and
drew
several
variations
for
us.
Eventually
we
had
to
meet
up
in
person
to
nail
down
the
design,
but
it
was
definitely
worthwhile
because
brainstorming
together
helped
bridge
communication
gaps
which
would've
been
challenging
over
text.
The
whole
process
from
confirming
the
gem
to
collecting
the
ring
took
about
3
months
for
us,
and
I
really
need
to
say:
it's
totally
worth
the
wait!
I'm
not
a
visual
person,
so
it
was
difficult
for
me
to
imagine
how
the
ring
would
look
like
in
3D,
from
the
2D
sketches.
Libby
assured
us
that
the
end
product
will
be
100X
better
and
they
did
NOT
disappoint!
Craftsmanship
was
impeccable.
To
be
honest,
the
ring
didn't
look
exactly
like
the
sketch,
but
I'm
thinking
maybe
the
craftsman
imparted
a
bit
of
his
artistry
into
the
product,
his
impression
and
how
he
brings
the
sketch
to
life.
Either
way,
I
like
it
very
much,
and
knowing
that
it's
something
unique
that
only
I
have
makes
it
all
the
more
precious.
My
fiance
and
I
are
happily
engaged,
and
would
totally
go
back
again
one
day
:)
