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.

It is because if the color. Warm yellow with brown-ish green-ish tints. NOT a versatile color.

Mine is a school bus yellow. I knew it was a rare yellow for a heliodor, but I didn’t know the color you’re describing was so difficult to wear.

Maybe not for everyone, I don't know. I just know that by the time I put on my jewel tone clothes - including many reds and blues - I end up looking like a flag.

It works only if I have exclusively neutrals on me - which I don't like doing.
I like my pops of colors (sometimes just a strong red lipstick) but if I also add the yellow in the ring, it's flag time.

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. 20171208_171553_HDR.jpg 20171208_171347_HDR.jpg

Coldest day of the year so far, perfect excuse to wear my zircon ring which I haven't worn in a long time. I wore it more often last year but this year it's languished a bit in my jewelry box after I got my ACA.

Pink sapphire! Hehe cheap tough ring that I wear out with the kidlet. Picked the entire ring up for $800 many years ago. 20171218_114856.jpg

That doesn't look cheap to me at all. This is such a pretty pink on the right person!
It looks so pretty on your hand.

Aww thank you! Haha I'm one of those people who never stop to think if I can pull a colour off or not. If I like it, I'll wear it to the death!

I don't wear black though, that's the only "colour" I won't wear.

Stacking my 3 stone halo ring / pendant with a diamond band of baguettes and rounds today. It's set with fancy grey-blue pear diamonds in pink diamond halos and a fancy pink-purple cushion in a white diamond halo. It's terribly hard to photograph so I'm posting a few in different lighting.

I had it made late last year end but was unsure if I made the right decision on its setting. Hence, I had been contemplating a reset and wearing it less often. I decided this year though that I'll rock it this way for now, until the next inspiration comes! I might have the prongs of the fancy pink-purple diamond plated with rose gold though. Was hoping it would frame the fancy pink-purple diamond a little better as it tends to get washed out in certain lighting conditions.

Thank you Chatoyancy, pwsg07 and Mochiko42! I really love all your pieces too! PS is a great place for learning and getting inspirations!

And here's throwing in another photo of the ring... I'm wearing it on its own today.
