I am so nervous!
Feb. 11th, 2012 10:04 amI had my first order for a custom wedding ring. The bride really loved this ring in my Etsy store, but resizing really wasn't an option for her small fingers. She was open to me creating something very similar in her size with a different diamond. She told she really loved the double band, and the way the lace bezel came up out of the circles of 14k gold. So, I made something for her that I hope is similar enough while being unique to her.
When you make someone's wedding ring, there's a lot of pressure. I view them as forever. I mean sure, sometimes they get lost, or replaced, or upgraded, but when you take your wedding vows with that ring, it's always going to be special. When someone orders a ring from you, basically sight unseen, they are trusting you to make them the perfect ring. Sending her the pictures of the finished piece a few minutes ago was one of the most nerve wracking things I've done since starting on this path. Now I'm waiting on pins and needles for her reply. If she doesn't like it, I'll remake it for her, but I really hope she loves it.
