This is the first ever coloured stone I have ever bought for myself.  It was very inexpensive - £29 (approx $60).

Its a 9ct yellow Gold  2.30ct Mozambique Garnet and 0.04ct White Topaz ring.  I really love it! 

I will wear it occasionally with my old yellow gold wedding band (have since changed to platinum).  I like wearing my old one from time to time

It looks very pretty, I especially like the side view.

Thankyou - I love the side view too.

The first ever ring I got was when I was 14.  My nanna gave me a silver garnet ring.  I loved it and wore it everywhere.  Unfortunately I didn't take good enough care of it.  One day I glanced down at it and the stone was gone!

I always knew I would buy a garnet ring.  This time I will be much more careful!

Dittoe, nice job Maiz!!  It looks lovely and I particularly like the YG

Thanks Lorelei!! 

The stone is so chunky! I love it!!  Its going to be ages before I can afford a diamond that size so I am loving having a coloured stone instead!!!

That garnet looks absolutely delicious and the combo with the YG is wonderful! Congratulations on your first colored stone purchase... I'm willing to bet that it will be the first of many, because once the colored gem bug bites, there is no turning back!

Maisie,
I logged in to reiterate gemnut's warning, but I see it's too late! The red-and-yellow combination is lovely. Enjoy your new ring.

Maisie, your ring is very pretty.  I'm enjoying the look of YG lately.

Are you still working at the jewelry store?  If so, how is that working out?

Did you buy it there?

I didn't buy it from the store where I work.  I got it from a The Jewellery Channel.  I think you have it in the states now too.
