Blue Spinel Halo Ring

[bling addict]

I started a thread here link in the coloured stone forum a couple of weeks ago after I received this beautiful spinel ring for our first anniversary. I have been trying to get some decent pics since to show off the shades of blue - and these were the best I could come up with. I thought I would follow the suggestion of some other lovely ladies who suggested I start a SMTR thread.

The spinel is 6.99mm cut by Dan Stair.

These are a couple of new pics, hopefully the size is ok for viewing...

 

[bling addict]

Sorry, that was kind of big...

These are a couple of pics that I already showed in the coloured stones thread, but which show some of the details of the ring....hopefully this one is smaller

It would help if I attached the file!

Gosh, I just adore this ring. Seriously.

What a lovely gift!

Bling addict: Bit off topic. I am loving your ring but REALLY loving your frangipani flowers. Here in cold old England I have a couple but they never flower. Yours are so lush.

 

[bling addict]

Thank you Ellen for your lovely compliment

Thank you sparklestick -- those lovely Frangipanis thrive in Queensland

I really like the pink coloured ones, but they aren''t doing as well as our white ones.

Wow I love your ring, everything about it is gorgeous

I think I am going to get a heat lamp for my poor little frangipani plants. Not liking this English winter. Was -3c here last night.

Oh my! That ring is just stunning!! I love it soooo much!!! Do you know what Dan calls that cut? Is it just a round brilliant?

Congrats on your 1st anniversary and the ring!

Thank you MMT, SparkleStick, DearBuddha, Steph, Catmom, Maisie, KTIce and Asscher Girl for your lovely comments

Asscher Girl - Dan described the cut as a modified round brilliant with 8 extra facets on the bottom.
