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

The weather finally got cooler so I was inspired to wear blue on both hands.

Oooooo I love that three-stone!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Brain fart when I had this made but it grew in me abd I wear it a fair bit.
Sapphire with diamonds

 

[Hivona]

A couple of recent choices. Aquaprase and tourmaline.

Oh my gosh! These are ring goals for me! They are so simple and beautiful!!!!

I wish this happened when my brain was gassy.

The rings look so good on your hands - and so polished with your matching nails.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Thanks for the kind words, @mellowyellowgirl and @minousbijoux!

I have no time to change my rings. But today is a sunny day so - my spinel ring
(This holiday wreath with Seahawks theme is handmade but not by me)
My ruby which is H(a) but old Burmese - can't part with it although I have a couple of others

Today I'm wearing my grandmother's lapis and diamond pendant on her 60" handmade chain, doubled to 30". It falls over my abdomen. The metal is 14k gold. My grandmother died earlier this year. She was almost 96. I love to wear her pieces. ❤

STUNNING! The end clip looks like part of a watch chain. How wonderful it is to wear family pieces.

I am wearing this today and posting this ring just for the dreamy french cut sapphires in the halo. Specs are 2.12 carats blue sapphires- heat only.

Such a LOVELY ring! TFS the details.

 

[Stone Hunter]

My new toy from Jeff Davies! Ring made and set by him too.

I send him these vague descriptions and a picture and he makes it happen. I'm in love with it so much! Although I kinda regret finding him because I keep wanting to commission new rings and I have been so good all these years of not buying new stuff.

WOW more details please. This is a lovely stone.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Wearing blue jadeite today...these are like staples for me.

Love this shade of blue! TFS

 

[Arkteia]

Not a CS but a nice neutral piece that I wear lots. My diamond bangle.

Looking at your bangle I just got an idea for a bracelet.

 

[Arkteia]

Had a lunch date today so took this ring out. Hehe it also accompanied me to the playground afterwards.

I will ALWAYS be happy I snapped this ring up from DBL.

Gorgeous!

ooh is this a new project?

Bracelets make me nervous because I always think I'll break them. Bangles are robust!

 

[ilovegemstones]

Ruby and diamond lion stickpin ring with demantoid and garnet dragon ring and ruby stickpin snake ring. I bought the lion and snake as stick pins and had them converted by my local jeweler! 24k bangle.
Also my sapphire and wedding set.

 

[mochiko42]

I always love seeing your baby dragon ring! It's adorable.

What stones are in these two rings? Gorgeous! Love halos...

 

[sapphiredream]

What I pretty much always wear when I do "sparkly":
my E-Ring which stands for "My Everything-Ring"
Beryl and diamond baguettes.


Latest plans are to replace this difficult stone (clashy color and not-so-spectacular cut) with a garnet of this color (dreamiest I've seen in a garnet).

 

[kgizo]

Feeling pink today. Mahenge spinel in the sun and shade.

A Malaya garnet and a light coloured sapphire

I've been absent for several days (if not weeks)! I need to catch up. I really love every piece you posted here, ladies .

We never see heliodor on ps! I love your ring! I have s heliodor I need to set. That looks like a raspberry rhodolite. There were some that color on WSF gems a while ago, but I think they were mostly set in earrings. I’m sure you can find your dream garnet.

Very pretty! The setting is lovely!

Ha, ha - there's a reason you don't see much of it.
It's UNWEARABLE! Hence my present quest.

Yellow is a very difficult color to wear and, at least in my experience, clashes with just about everything piece of clothing. You are guaranteed to turn into some kind of flag - at least I am.
My husband did ask me last evening..."but why did you choose it at the time"?

Well...I guess I didn't know any better.

At the time, I wanted a large, natural stone that nevertheless had to be very affordable.
That's because I wanted a heftier, more prominent ring to avoid the classical, dainty, diamond solitaire e-ring which was never for me.

I thought the hardness was good...and I had seen quite a few rings with canary yellow diamonds...and thought the white/yellow combination looked good.
Plus I thought yellow would be closest to the white of a traditional diamond. At that time I WAS interested in diamonds - but they had to be very large to make for a chunky, serious ring .
The diamond size I like (4-5 carats) was way out of our budget and always will be. So we were done there.

Over the years I discovered I actually look much better in colored stones with deep hues than in a diamond; and that wasn't even "sour grapes".
I tried on many diamonds over time and I even wore a 4-5 carat, very well-cut, real-looking CZ-s ring around the house which I got from a very nice middle-eastern lady in Turkey.
We were taking a boat tour on the Bosphorus strait and I saw her wearing what looked like a high-carat, super sparkly amazing diamond ring and of course, I couldn't help staring at her hand.

At some point, she came to me and gave me the ring and told me to keep it!!
I obviously understood immediately this was not real...but even so, it was a VERY pretty ring that could fool many. This was so unexpected, I refused - but she insisted...so I ended up with a ring that allowed me to get an idea of how I would look in my ideal size diamond.

It finally dawned on me that a diamond - as expensive and magical as it is - does much less for my brunette appearance (dark brown hair, light olive skin with very dark-brown eyes) than a colored gem would.

So even if I had an unlimited budget today... I would pick a 5-7 carat killer sapphire over a diamond.

But since budget is STILL an issue...I hope to find a gorgeous garnet for this ring...and soon get a separate sapphire ring as well.

But yeah...heliodor...it's a nah.
I'd' be curious to hear about how ladies wear their yellow stones (of any kind). Maybe I will start a new thread.

My yogo sapphire!
It was a tenth anniversary gift from my husband, which makes it really special. But it’s extra special because yogos are mined only in Montana, 40 miles from my house!

I didn’t realize that heliodor was so difficult to wear. Good luck coming on your quest for a garnet. Four yo five carats is actually quite large for most garnet species. I’m not sure if this holds true for the color you are seeking though.

That’s beautiful! Have you ever visited the mine?
