Show me your Yvonne Raley and Cecile Raley Designs!

[Rubybrick]

I saw those on her page, and thought GORGEOUS!

Got these back today, I am in love Yvonne is a dream to work with. I didn’t love the leverbacks and thought really I would love to wear these with my studs. So Yvonne put chains on them.

The ruby ring isn't from Yvonne but the other two rings are.

I love that yellow one. The color play is so fun! Is it a chrysoberyl?

I already said it, but these are so perfect! I love the way green and pink play together (and white gold was a perfect choice).

Yep! You guessed right!

Such saturated and gorgeous hues! They are abstract representations of a dark pink lotus with verdant green leaves. You have supremely good taste for color!

Love these!!! I love stackers and your set is so beautiful with the green and blue.
Do you get a vendor box from Yvonne when you receive your jewelry? If yes, could you share some pics?

 

[littledebbie81]

Sure! Included pics with my new cobalt spinel stacker too.

A great color combination, I love it! I admired these rings in her shop, too

WOW these are STUNNING Thanks for the extra photos. All the stones are just beautiful colors.

Thanks so much, Acinom! You are the queen of good taste so I appreciate the compliment The little box with the ribbon on top is Yvonne's ring box and larger box is another one of her vendor boxes that held something else. Her packaging matches the quality of her products! Sorry about getting my shoe in the picture, lol

Congrats on your new Zircon. Would you recommend a half eternity or a stacker for my first purchase? I like how you’ve combined them. Do the half eternity stones scrape the band next to it?

Thanks, Stone Hunter! I have a plain rose gold band between my eternity band and the stackers, so there is no scrape Either an eternity ring or a stacker is a good option, it just depends which you prefer. The cost for the stackers is very reasonable so it might be a good starting point.

Yvonne doesn't set stones she doesn't source, FYI, but she always has a great selection of gems and is happy to search if she doesn't have what you want. She can set stones in stackers from 2 mm up to 5 mm and only charges $200 per ring for 14K gold, $140 for platinum silver and $100 for sterling silver.

Thanks. I had already contacted her about setting a stone I have,, but this is great info for this thread. Seriously though, all of your post is great information. Picking a stone is hard. But I see that you’ve collected yours over time and they all work well together.

It's been a couple of months, but Yvonne has finally found the winning combination for my Lily ring. I'm so excited. (I had originally wanted grape garnets but she didn't have them in 2mm...after going back and forth on whether the tsavs were too bright, she finally found these perfect purple sapphires.



I'm debating 14k WG or 18K Yellow. Rose gold gets lost on my skin tone. I think the stone colors go best with WG. But I have so many WG CS rings already and kind of like the Lily in a more yellow gold. Thoughts?

(Here is the setting)

Your color choice is lovely re the gemstones I would go for RG, but that's because I don't think I look good in YG. It's difficult to make a gold choice for someone else Good luck in making the decision!

I know I'm the minority here but i love more cool toned gemstones in yellow gold!
And sunny/warm gems in white.
If you want a yellow gold ring then I say go for it...if youre asking if itd look awful in yellow gold; no.
I think itd have such a neat affect on the style of the ring and the yellow gold with the colors of the gemstones and the beautiful shape of the ring would make me think of an old world India.

Lovely!

 

[voce]

Wow, what gorgeous gemstones you got for that Lily ring! I vote also for going with yellow gold, since the warmer tone would provide a better contrast to cool toned gems.

Now this is a color combo I can get behind! That’s going to make a gorgeous Lily ring.
Personally, I’d go with white gold but only because I like cool tones in white.

 

[Bluegemz]

I would go for yellow gold. Blues, pinks and purples all look great in YG.

 

[lilmosun]

Thanks @leslie1956 @TheGarnetGirl @voce @elle_71125 @Bluegemz. Admittedly, I was leaning towards 18K YG but then was afraid that perhaps I was making a big mistake so the feedback helped a lot. I'll post a pic when done

 

[lilmosun]

It's done! The engraving is different because I guess the pink sapphires were a little smaller than the ones used in the original. So glad they were able to make it work. I love her Lily pieces but it's so hard to find stones just the right size/color...this took me a year to put together. Unfortunately, I will need to wait a couple of weeks as I won't be around to receive delivery.

How beautiful!
It truly does remind of me of an old world-esque India!
Wear it in good health and please please upload photos of it on when you receive it! Ahh!

That ring is gorgeous. I love the colors together with the yg. Can’t wait to see hand shots.

Very pretty designs and colors!
