A new RED thread!

[Nick_G]

wow i love this.
do you display it or do you have plans for it ?
where do you get something like this ?

Thanks. It has its own little box that it came in. I bought it from an eBay seller in the UK, and it was actually sold as spinel so I got it for a decent price. Apparently it originally came from a gemmologist's collection.

im not a red person but i like looking at everyone's reds and really enjoying it all
this one really tickles my fancy

Thanks, @Daisys and Diamonds! I love your cherry amber! I’ve got a few more red pieces I should dig out. I don’t wear the others nearly as often as the rings, but sometimes they are just the thing.

I’ ll add in the 2 red rings which I have, (aside from red coral). I’ve always been a blue person, but I fell in love with this star ruby ( partially because I love stars) and this red spinel ring. Now I have a new appreciation for reds to say the least. Love everyone’s collections!

Oh blue....these two rings just make me drool. The spinel is like a lazer that melts me and your star.....what I would give to see that ring in person! Ive said it once before to another member but I change my mind; Id like to reincarnate into your family!! haha

You made such a special star ring! Truly....
Also, kudos to your husband and son, that ring is stunningly gorgeous and again just radiates such a fierce loving energy for you.

My pear spinel. My trillion tends to photograph pink, but it’s a pinkish red.

You are the sweetest, @Garnetgirl! Thank you so much for ‘seeing’ the spirit of my rings! I would love to see so many of your pieces also.

The camera has portrayed the crystals as more pink than in real life.

What Holiday inspiring beauties you have all shared! Love Tariqs ruby and Catmoms flower ring while the cranberry rough is so cool looking. Thanks for pretty posts

Userang, such lovely rings! And I like the one in your avatar! And what is the yellow stone? Lovely setting, and the stone so nice, too!

 

[Arkteia]

Here are my reds. A ruby and two spinels.

In no Russian mineralogy museum one can find a red stone, most are green or blue, so I have rather few reds. This is cut by Lisa Elser red tourmaline

Here are my reds.....

So elegant!

I absolutely love your triangular spinel!

I absolutely love your triangular spinel!

Actually, TL, color-wise, probably the best.

my first red at its best color in sunlight, a pure candy red. It has inclusions that are not too noticeable at arm's length. Accurate untouched color brought to you by my new Google Pixel 3a phone.

New red for the holidays! Burmese jedi spinel on my index finger.

Thanks , but most of these are long gone replaced by newer rings and except the ruby was put into new ring. . The one in my Avatar is my new unheated ceylon blue sapphire. The yellow stone is an enhanced yellow diamond

 

[Catmom]

I guess I should add in Mr. Froggie...

Hello all, I've come out of lurking to post here and there. I finished making this star ruby ring a few weeks ago.

 

[voce]

A couple red spinels I decided to set in 14k black gold (black rhodium plating instead of white rhodium) stacking rings. The N-S one is a "flame" orange red spinel, and the E-W one was sold to me as a "wine red colored" spinel. Both spinels are from Yunfan Gems on Etsy, a vendor I would recommend. They agreed to let me return the spinels if they didn't test as natural and untreated by AGL. I'm happy they did come back as untreated and natural.

Do you mean you crafted it yourself or designed it yoursel and had it made by others? The winged lions on the sides make it interesting. Any hand shots?
