I feel the need to share with all my watchers and friends a recent sad experience I had inside a group - the name is not important. Why is it so difficult to leave outside DeviantArt and other social sites and fora our worst selves? Does leading a group really means that much to some of us? 

A few days ago, a group admin asked my permission to include in a certain group's galleries one of my works. I felt flattered and thought: why not join this group? I submitted a few more of my works and half of them were rejected without any comments. When I asked why in a very polite comment I was treated like a juvenile delinquent! May I was right, may be I was wrong, its the attitude of the responder that's the real issue here. I deeply feel that no matter how important or insignificant one's work is, here in DeviantArt, everybody deserves a decent treatment. Polite questions deserve and demand polite responses. Condescending manners within authoritarian groups need to be addressed by consigning them to oblivion. Thank God there are so many groups out there. Why not give smaller groups a chance?

The aforementioned group states in its rules: "3 strikes and you're out..." and "I will personally remove you from the group. It's really no trouble" Wow, how sarcastic indeed! I already count one strike, why wait for the other 2 strikes to happen and not save the admin from the trouble of expelling me out from this group? Why not let myself out with my head up high just like the way I initially got in?  

An artist can still exist and create outside a group. He/she already did that for many years ago. Can a group exist without its artists?

I try to photograph my work under different lighting conditions.

My jewels are handmade in the European Union using raw materials of superior quality and craftsmanship of the highest standards. They are not themselves, or based on, cheap and questionable quality products like those often made in developing countries. They are accompanied by my written guarantee regarding the gemstones used and, in case of rings, each one bares a hallmark in its band verifying its 925 Sterling silver quality. All my products are shipped in elegant boxes or pouches ready to be offered as gifts.

My jewels are Hypoallergenic since they are made out of pure metals such as platinum, 18k-24k gold, fine & Sterling silver, titanium, copper, and stainless steel. Metallic surfaces and rough or faceted stones are treated in such a way so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to your clothes.

My rings (as crafted) have an inside diameter of (approx) 17,35 mm (0,683”), an inside circumference of (approx) 54,51 mm (2,15”) and a typical and widely popular size:

British & Australian:   O
US & Canada:          7
French & Russian:       55,1/4
German:                17,1/4
Japanese:             14
Swiss:                15,1/4

If you don't know your size you can visit (among others) the following site:

THE OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL RING SIZE CONVERSION CHART www.ringsizes.co/

The rings that sport an open top can easily be adjusted to a slightly smaller or bigger size. If your size differs considerably from the above listed, I shall be happy to craft a new one, custom built for you and to your size, as closely built to the one listed as humanly and technically possible within 5 working days and with no extra charge.

You can also suggest a variation of any one of my products or even suggest an idea of yours for a totally personalized gift.
