A Most Gifted Artist
I am utterly stunned at the magnificent creation that is this ring!<br /><br />My Golden Retriever, who was born on July 4, 2007, died one month ago.  Her name was "Scarlett,"  and she fought courageously for the last year of her life, enduring diagnostic test after diagnostic test, all of which ruled out the disease of suspicion, while finding yet another area of concern.  She Walked into the Sunset one month ago.  I am not yet myself  She radiated the light that is brought about the the joy of living.  it is that light that is seemingly extinguished.<br /><br />With Scarlet born in July and ruby representing that month, I thought to find an appealing design in a ring that would feature a ruby.<br /><br />I wrote to  the the magnificent artisan in Turkey who fashions rings, relating the story of why I was ordering this very special ring -- relating Scarlett's life, while apologizing for imposing my grief expressed.  The answer returned very quickly, "I will pick out the finest red ruby."  And I waited,  reassured co that the ring that was being crafted for My Girl's memory would be fashioned with loving hands.<br /><br />Scarlett's ring arrived today, and it is beyond STUNNING!  The photograph that advertises this jeweler's work does not do justice to this gift that has just been sent to me.  The ruby is a deep red, a true color, no interference of shades of blue, nor purple, but verity of deep scarlet in color. The artist's compassion enters into this piece of jewelry through the cut of the stone itself.  When turning the ring into the light from any angle, the various facets of the cut demonstrate an inner glow that emanates from deep within the stone.  It is  brighter, brilliantly-lit scarlet that winks -- as does a star --  from the depths of this majestic stone.  I am certain that this magnificent artisan fashioned this ring with that goal in mind.  As I look at this ring, I am able to see glimpses of my "Scarlett's Light",  because that Light has been offered to me through the compassion of a talented and gentle soul.<br /><br />This ring is flawlessly made; it is quite literally a work of art that simply cannot be reproduced by "any jeweler."  This type of mastery can only be attained because "A Gift" has been given, and the perfection of that "Gift" has become so much the passion that, once undertaken, there have been years of devotion invested into the pursuit and perfection of that talent.<br /><br />As your stone rises up off of the shoulders of the band itself, the intricacies of its' tight latticework of tiny lights that lead up to the perfectly smooth, planed and polished bevel that encompasses the stone are beyond comprehension!  It is impossible to feel where the setting ends and where the stone begins. THIS is "Purity in Art."  Do not deny yourself -- or someone you love -- a treasure that is worth every heart beat that is being awarded to you throughout all of the days that you are given;  it is of the quality that will passed down through the generations.<br /><br />A ring that has been created though the talents of this jeweler will remind you daily wherein lies the true beauty of Life;  it is the Light of Life, and it glows from within.<br /><br />I appreciate your time,<br />-- Vibby --
