Did you know that "Hanami" refers to the Japanese tradition of "flower viewing"? I could certainly stare at these rhodolite garnets forever. Cut by u/mvmgems in Voltini's Hanami design, the garnets sit in a custom 14k yellow gold setting accented with 3mm white cultured pearls.

Im asking for a ballpark figure based on the work you have done, based on this pair of earrings. I understand that the price isn't fixed because the commissioned pair wouldn't be this exact pair and prices of materials change, but without a rough ballpark figure how is one to gauge whether they want to commission something or not?

If that makes me too difficult for you and you don't want me as your customer, that's totally your proragative. Just like it is mine to find other peeps who can do the hanami cut just fine, like the ones who did my 3 current hanami cut stones.

Not sure why you feel weird about my figuring out how you did the modification on the hanami cut, though. I mean you shared a very clear video on the internet for anyone and everyone to seek, and the original cut from voltolini is freely available to study, sooooo....
