theredapinel: thank you!!! I feel so fortunate I could buy one from Gene. I enjoyed the process and I love the result. It came out bigger and more elongated than expected.

Gorgeous collection!!

Thank you VirginiaZee

Acinom... your current PS CS collection pics are so scrumptious!!! Thanks for the eye candy! I love seeing your pics and thoughts on them. Do you have your own blog too? Just curious since you have a way with descriptions.

Aww, thank you for your kind words lovesvintage. I appreciate it.
I do not have my own blog (yet). My descriptions might be a little 'different' as I am not an English native speaker

Meanwhile...
I am on a holiday in the Caribbean enjoying the sea and the great climate.
My 5.3 ct OEC is safely at the bank and I am wearing two sets of simple stackers:

 

[SparkliesLuver]

I've taken a bit of a hiatus from PS so I haven't been checking things too often; however, I just looked through your thread and saw all your family shots - wow! You've been so busy! I love your collection, Acinom. Just love it. I genuinely look forward to seeing your future pieces come to life.

 

[Acinom]

Alistair Kelsey finalised two more rings for me. Yay!!
I will take a while before I can collect them, so I will just drool on the pics he sent me. Again, Alistair did such a great job. I am looking forward to wear the rings and see them in real life.

First the classic 'Elegance' with blue zircon by Chis Auletta. I love the 6 wire prongs.

 

[Acinom]

And look what he did with my Sunstone Iolite from Brad!
I love love love his Bionic design. Looking forward to see what it looks like on my hand.

 

[lovedogs]

All I can say is WOW! Such incredible workmanship on both-- but the bionic in particular just takes my breath away! So excited for you and can't wait to see handshots when you receive them!

 

[Acinom]

Aww, thank you for your kind words Lovedogs!!
I will probably be able to pick up the rings at the beginning of July. I can hardly wait to see them in real life.

 

[theredspinel]

Ohhh love the new ring so unique! You're all making me want a sunstrone lolite now... not good!

 

[Siameseroo]

Wow they are both amazing. I love how the designs are distinct yet beauriful.

 

[Lovinggems]

Acinom hope you had a wonderful holiday. The new AK rings are breathtaking.

 

[gemandjewelrylover]

Wow, Acinom, your rings are ALL soooooo amazing. You have a great eye for.....everything! Love both your new rings, especially the Bionic setting. Love your ring family shot. I'm in awe of you and your collection!

 

[Acinom]

Thank you all for your kind words
theredspinel: I am fascinated by Sunstone Iolites because of Lovedogs and dk... Yet I have not seen one in real life ever I am looking forward seeing the stone in real life, especially in Alistair's Bionic setting.

siameseroo: Alistair's style is really special. Both his classic line as well as his 'modern/ new classics'. He did such a great job on both rings.

Lovinggems: I had a great time in the Caribbean, thank you! I will receive 3 rings from Alistair (also the purple garnet ring) and he will also create a setting for my black opal.

GemAndJewelryLover: what a huge compliment!!! Thank you. The Bionic is really fascinating isn't it. The outcome is even more fabulous than I could imagine from the drawing.

 

[dk168]

Looking forward to see hand shots of the two new rings!

[blingbunny10]

Wow, the design for the iolite is so striking! I can't wait to see what this one looks like on your finger. They are all so gorgeous, though! Congrats on the collection (and finding a great designer to work with).

 

[caf]

Acimon - first, your cruise rings are not just simple stackers. They are gorgeous. Who did them for you?

Second your new rings, like all your others, are gorgeous.

Enjoy.

 

[lilmosun]

My admiration for AK's work and Acinom's pieces continues...every one is unique and a work of art.

 

[Deia]

That garnet is stunning and I love the ring's fluidity. Congrats on your beauties. Wear them in good health!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Beautiful rings Acinom!

 

[lovedogs]

Acinom: couldn't find the "wow gemstone rings" thread, plus this one immediately made me think of you. The modern aesthetic plus the purple on your skin tone would be GLORIOUS! Plus, you are one of the only people who could rock a ring this size and make it look sleek and elegant

dk: thank you

blingbunny10: it's a bliss to work with Alistair Kelsey. I completely love and trust his aesthetic eye and he always surprises me.

caf: my bezelled stackers are created by Elsbeth of Lsieraden in the Netherlands. She is a wonderful young designer and I love working with her. The 'beans' are from the French designer Morganne Bello. The stones are certainly not top notch but completely in line with the pricing. I love the way the beans lay on the finger.

lilmosun: what a huge compliment, especially coming from you. Thank you!!!

deia: I am so glad I can finally wear the garnet ring and to see the fluid lines with my own eyes.

lisaRN: thank you!!!!

lovedogs: thanks for posting the link! I completely love the Ammy. Not really fond of the setting design though, but probably it looks amazing in real life. I love big rings, but especially when they are still feminine and fluid.

I love your Bionic ring. I love how Alistair makes the ring so wide but not too clumsy looking and it looks so unique with the pressed bits of colour. Really like Alistair Kelsey's designs.

 

[pyramid]

Oh and I have just noticed the graduated bits from the inner ring side view, love this too, like it goes up in stages and you cannot even really appreciate it unless the ring is off your finger. He seems to think of everything. His proportions are perfect and I still love my two rings I got him to make.
