I have very small hands, and finding an adult diamond ring that does not look too large on my hand is difficult. While shopping at a department store, a costume jewelry ring caught my eye. It had an array of small diamonds in a simple pattern with a thin band. It fit and looked great. Because it was costume jewelry and I wanted to wear it all the time as my wedding ring, I went to Wattsson & Wattsson to see if Chris could replicate it with real diamonds and gold. He said he could, and the result is wonderful. I love it!
