Please show me some ''rough'' stuff!

[kaylagee]

I'd love to see photos of jewelry featuring rough, partially-faceted, bruted diamonds etc. Also anything with diamond pearls or other non-traditional styles would be great to share too. So far I've found:

Hi, Kayla..

I really enjoyed the link you provided...I''d never heard of "rough jewellry" before...I think it''s really neat.

Here''s a funky little ring I bought on Ebay long ago...I''m not entirely sure why

....

From any distance at all it looks like a "gold nugget" ring. But with a loupe you can see this detail: it''s a miner-gnome examining a rough diamond with a magnifying glass. I never realized it had a genre of its own!

....oh...and here''s another picture I saved long ago...it would qualify....

It''s potentially intense or vivid pink diamond rough (12cts!) sold by Sotheby''s. The platinum "frame" pendant is apparently removable...

oh, geez, i could go there with this stuff! especially those yellow/orange ''rough''s!

think gurhan and lots and lots of 22K gold.

btw, i like hillory''s ring: i like the sentiment of making something representative of the state they lived in and represented for so long AND i like that its unusual. i''d wear it with no problems.
