Lavender/lilac spinel antique E/W ring!

[FrekeChild]

Thanks everyone! I''m so excited about this, it''s just silly. I''m glad it came out so well, I would have been sad if it hadn''t been workable or had fallen apart or something. And the color of the spinel....

They really did a great job restoring the ring. You have such a knack for picking out wonderful spinels!

Ooh, pretty! And I''m so glad you were able to save that old setting and make it beautiful again. Way to go!

 

[FrekeChild]

Thanks everyone! It''s funny how enamored I am with it. It''s soooo delicate and feminine in real life, and unlike any of my other rings...Not to mention it''s pretty much my first purple-y stone that I''ve set, so it''s super special.

And for once, IT''S NOT BLUE! OMG!

That turned out just lovely! So lucky your jeweler was able to turn that chopped up head into a thing of beauty!

Lol! Really? Do you have any pics of your lavender spinel?

And that first pic was one from the posting, so if that looks like the same pic as the one you were trying to buy...then yes it''s the same one.

Hey again!

I sent you an email if you are who I think you are? Did you have 2 lavender spinels? ...Then you will know what my spinel looks like better than anyone! lol. I've been eyeing that ring for a while now, and I was debating on an elongated antique cushion and then that lavender spinel caught my eye so I went to buy the ring! lmao, guess you beat me to it!
