...And since I’m here, I might as well post my aqua ring that I made a thread about recently.
I like it! Did you set it yourself? Are those spinels 4x3mm? They look close, to my eye. I've been eyeing some color change garnets that are 4x3mm from Yvonne Raley, and that ring setting looks perfect for that size. Can you let me know where you got the setting from?
My new three stone spinel ring. It’s untreated red spinel from Tanzania, a lovely dark red with no orange, pink or brown to my eye. The stones are small but well cut with no windowing.
, you can look there. Do remember you must ask for pre-notched prongs as we lack the skill or tools to notch them ourselves.this is lovely, I really love how the cab glows against the diamond meelee. Combine with the size, such a standout “subtle beauty”!I don't have really big, bling rings yet, like many of you do, but I recently got this untreated ruby from my then-boyfriend now-fiance. I am in love with the vivid red color.
lovely, really glowy! Sorry I didn’t see the facets in the first pictures!
Thanks, Rubybrick, but it is not cabochon. It's a faceted native cut gem, 1.14 ct. I know there are some faceted cabochons, but this one is flat on top, just hard to capture the cut in photos. Here are a couple more pictures, in weak natural light and under camera flash. In the top one you can catch some facets. A cabochon would not have the dark colored areas under flash. The stone is more red in person and shows up more red on my camera than on my computer. Under sunlight, it really glows, but I live in the desert and don't fancy going out of doors to photo my ring.
what a lovely capture! Your mom’s style! TDFWith my mom’s permission sharing a photo from the summer. This is my mom’s Zuni fetish necklace. When my sister was at Cornell veterinary college she bought this for my mom. I will ask my sister more about it today when I see her. All I know is it’s very pretty.
Lol Just seeing the bracelet. I think it’s cloisonné. Not sure. Will ask my mom.
Zoom in to see the necklace. Made up of all different natural stones.
ETA just spoke with my mom and yes I’m right about the bracelet and my parents got it in St Thomas on their honeymoon in 1963.
That ring is fabulous. I want it
The 13 carat blue-green zircon I lusted after for five years and finally own!
Beauty is pain! But seriously though, I can't even imagine what the desert heat is like right now. It's "only" 97-99 degrees where I live; I stepped outside for a moment to take some pics in the shade and was like "F this" and went back inside the house.
