What are you wearing today?! Show me your CS!

[Rare gem lover]

It’s a long time since I had something new to post! Here’s my new ring. I’ve posted it on other thread but this time I’m posting a new pic of me trying to sneak a peek at my ring under the table on a lunch date

I just thought you guys would get a few smiles outta these pictures (:

My 4 year old Scarlett Elizabeth sporting her sterling silver collection today haha
Shes into gems and jewelry since she always sees me obsessing over my jewelry box and rings!
-She has a little onyx ring that I found in a little local gem shop in Rosewell, NM and I purchased it for 5$ when she was only 6 months old.
-A lapis ring that she picked out herself at a pawn shop when I purchased two delicate gold necklaces and two gold bands.
-A ring with three gems- originally had turqouise cabs but one was broken so I put in three 3mm cat eye alexandrites that I had.
-A little garnet heart ring that's a spess, its my first ring ever that I had as a child and gave it to her almost a year old. Its her favorite ring and she keeps it seperate in a little velvet box in her on jewelry box (;
-The first turqouise ring is from a visit to a jewelry store where the owner was there that day and they had a vintage Indian jewelry section and he picked it out and was so kind to give it to her.
-The second turquoise ring is also from that same trip to the pawn shop where she picked out her lapis, so she walked out with two! Haha
-Last ring is the second ring that I ever bought her she was about 1 year old and she was strapped to me at the Tuscon gem and mineral show. (:

Right now she's obsessed with garnet and fairly so with a name like Scarlett! She wants "a garnet rhombus ring" and a "circle lapis lazleeliie ring" next.
I'm on an etsy hunt as we speak. Its so much fun shopping for little sparklies for your own little gem girl!

You're training her to be a 2nd generation Garnet Girl, I see!

A bit of history today. Wore my Hauyne ring at Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious structure ever made, one of the 7 wonders of the world located in Cambodia.



I am also wearing my DIY Colombian Emerald necklace as a bracelet at Ta Prohm, another temple where the Tomb Raider shot a lot of scenes. It’s known as the temple where trees grew on them.

What a fabulous experience it must be to see those spaces! The emeralds go so well, as they also carry such an ancient feel to them.

 

[ilovegemstones]

I have been wearing these a lot lately.

Not my usual choice of nail color but umbalite garnet was looking more plum like the other day.

Really pretty pendant. I love the deep green with the silver. It’s such a fresh look. The prongs are really cool!

I love this ring! May I ask a favor? Do you have a picture of the profile? I think this is the ring I used for partial inspiration (I hope you don't mind) and would love to see different angles.

@suzanne2 what ring are you making?

I have no patience or eyes for CADs so must have missed your thread!

haha I rarely make threads about projects (I don't have CADs anyway) except to ask wishy washy questions!

I am excited to see your pics!!!!!!!!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Not a ring but I like this shot of the affordable emerald necklace I bought from Mineral Miners! It goes so well with everything and does not look cheap!

WTB closeup of the necklace. Have you posted about it somewhere before? *goes to search*

yes but here you go!

 

[voce]

@mellowyellowgirl yeah, that's a very nice green, I like!

 

[Stone Hunter]

The color is not represented by either of these photos. This Tanzanite is a deep blue/ purple set in yellow gold. I wore it today with a yellow gold “keeper ring” because we finally have cooler weather. Bought pre Pricescope.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@Stone Hunter so glad you posted that pic! I was walking around the other day asking myself if someone has ever out a blue stone in YG and what it would look like!

It looks great!

 

[Stone Hunter]

This is a better photo of the stone’s color. Shown with Tanzanite and yellow gold earrings. I also wore the earrings today. They are also a pre Pricescope purchase.

Thanks. It’s VERY hard to capture the blue color in a photo that I see with my eyes. Here are a few more.

Blue spinel in yellow gold.


Antique ring in yellow gold. ETA: The band at the bottom is set in silver.
