Hello, thanks for stopping by my shop!!
I am the original designer of the leaf band and nature designs on Etsy. I have noticed now a few shops trying to copy my designs using computer 3D CAD graphics. As much as I feel "honored" that my designs are worth copying, it makes me think about these shops lack of imagination and ethics. Also, you should know that 3D CAD design is an unfinished picture of the work. Once someone's hands touches the ring, it looks different.
I appreciate and thank each and everyone of you who has supported my work and will support my work in the future. I spend a lot of time coming up with these designs, and I love Etsy for all the creative and energy.
I love what I do and I am not sure what else I would be doing, except maybe growing tomatoes in my garden. But that is only during the summer:(.
Again thank you for supporting my original work and the creative spirit here on Etsy.
So excited to share with you my nature inspired designs. If you are looking for an alternative , unique, different engagement ring, then you have found it!!
Take a look, let me know if you have any questions, changes or anything that you have in mind.

Almost all the rings are made to order. Right now, the time frame for a ring is 3 weeks. If if you need it earlier, please let me know.
Some of my rings have white sapphire as the center stone. White sapphires are a very affordable replacement for diamonds. But white sapphires don't usually come really white. The color although white, has shades of blue and yellow.
If you need any other stone please let me know. For diamonds, I am able to source any diamond quality size and shape. Just contact me for price.
All of my items are nicely packaged in a beautiful box with ribbon ready to give as a gift. I ship all orders with usps first class mail insured. Please let me know if you need to get your item much faster.
