What a Sunday!
A very rounded Sunday.
@Lexililac: amazing that you cut that sapphire yourself. You did such a great job. And that star ruby is so vibrant and saturated. And wow... that star sapphire with ruby center... such a great find.

@Gloria27 : what a sunny Chrysoberyl indeed! I love that colour. Will you set it or collect it?

@ItsMainelyYou : thanks for sharing your red spinels. Very beautiful and saturated.

@dk168 : very impressed by your Jeff White collection with rounds. That Danburite! Also a huge fan of you rubellite, zircon, sapphire and topaz. Would love to see a group pic of your complete jewelry and stones collection. Any plans for a 2021 thread? Does the Mali garnet from JD resemble the vendor pic? Beautiful colour!

@Nosean: wow that Gem Silica with Malachite... A true Fairytale gem. I love your loose stones collection. Those greens!!!

@icy_jade : you have such a dream-collection. Thanks for sharing your dreamy jadeite round.

@missy : your enormous diamond sparkles all colours of the rainbow. Thanks for sharing that pic. All rounds are welcome.

I have a lot of round shaped stones, two of my favourites are a very candy like bright vivid red (neon in the sun) Mahenge Spinel cab, and really beautiful round blue Sri Lanka Sapphire.... I also took a pic of some Mahenge Garnets that are round that I had out quickly too;

Love the colour combo of garnets. And the spinel and sapphire are super glowy.

I don't have all my rings with me, just the ones that I intend to wear this week. This is a cushion ruby from Burma, perhaps antique. PXL_20201214_193745776.jpg

What a Monday!!
It’s so nice to have a peek in everyone’s jewelry closet.
@dk168 : girl, you have the most amazing collection. Love what you did with Doug’s natural blue and I always love seeing your glorious Bombe ring. And pfff, that blue by JW is not too shabby either.
@Lexililac : gorgeous saturated colours! Do you have any plans to set them?
@Niel: your profile pic ring is soooo beautiful. What a royal look. I love the OEC’s surrounding the Autumn brown center.
@icy_jade : thanks for sharing! Where did you find those amazing stones! You have such an amazing eye for colours.
@Hivona : wow!!! Would love to play with your stones. It’s like a candy store. Gorgeous!!!
@voce : what a stunning ring. Would love to learn more about the story. Such a beautiful stone and setting

Square cushion ruby in a 18kt. yellow gold ring. One of the very very few of my gems witch is set as Im a collector and not much in jewellery.

pink sapphire with a blue color zoning line accross the stone. Wasnt successful to catch the straight blue line. The camera makes it blurry and washes it into the pink. With better light in Spring I will try it again to do some better pics of that one.

Zircon, sapphire, tourmaline
Spinel, tourmaline, topaz

Adding a pic indoors, morning natural light only, back against window as the colors look so unreal in the earlier pic taken under the lamp at night. Lighting is a bit dim but looks more real? Earlier pic is like those unrealistic IG pics lol. Still can’t get all the stones aligned to the same direction.
