I had a meeting with Serjeo scheduled for this Saturday to see the mold of the ring. I had an email from his secretary/PA on Monday telling me that the mold was ready ahead of schedule and if I was free I could come in on Wednesday (today) to see it. Being a little nervous/unsure yet excited to see how it would look I decided to take the early appointment. I was expecting to see an imprint of the ring itself and have to use my imagination of how it would look in the form of a ring, I was a little confused when Serjeo took out a little plastic box with an orange ring inside it. Asking me to handle it carefully (as many people accidently break it) to inspect it, it was the exact design of the ring I had commissioned. The ring looked amazing, despite being sculpted out of orange wax. He explained how the colour tricked the eye into seeing it as being bulkier than it actually was due to the wax not showing the depth and lines of the ring as metal would. Regardless, with a little imagination (especially when he placed the diamond in the wax mold) I was able to see how it would turn out. I am now more confident than ever that the ring is going to look fantastic and can not wait to see the final version in a couple of weeks. I am telling you...I would not get this service at Cartier, Tiffany or any of those other jewelers here in Boston. I don't think I would get this back home in London either, none of my friends back home have had this kind of experience and if they did it would probably cost them a pretty penny. I will write one more review in a couple of weeks when I see the ring, this is a busy time of year for Serjeo (a lot of us guys propose in the spring/summer apparently) though the way things are going I am confident he will get it done in time now. I can only write one review per email/username so it will most likely be under the name of AJTG3.
Pros: Saw a wax mock up model of the ring before going for the final version.
Cons: None, I have complete faith in him now.
