Antique Sapphire ring

[stepcutnut]

Just wanted to try out a few to tips I received for taking photos...

This is my sapphire pinky ring from my hubby

 

[stepcutnut]

The sapphire is small, 5mm and you can tell that the ring was worn often-the setting is quit worn in spots.

It is unheated, but I do not know its origin.

I love that setting, it''s so feminine and pretty. The sapphire is a gorgeous blue too!

Thanks Kismet! That is the lightest color the sapphire ever is-in direct sunlight. It is definitely somewhat sleeping because of the silkiness, but I still love it

My Barry purple(plum colored) spinel ring. The tulip head is RG and the shank is WG-I purchased the setting from an Etsy seller.

The spinel is quit lively-always tough for me to capture!

I love that sapphire - i am a sucker for the lighter colored ones!

 

[Kismet]

Another pretty one. It looks really nice in that rose gold head. Do you mind saying which Etsy seller made it?

Peridot and Tourmaline ring-window on the peridot, but I love the setting Hubby did good overall!

 

[stepcutnut]

Again, I manage to somehow kill all sparkle!?!?!

 

[stepcutnut]

No windows IRL on the Tourmaline.

Thanks again! I will have to look him up. The price for setting the spinel was included in the total, but I would not have them set a stone ever again!!! They set it crooked and it drives me nuts! I still haven''t taken it into another jewelers to see if they can fix it!

 

[stepcutnut]

It is really a lovely green, I am not sure why they are all turning out black!?!?!

 

[stepcutnut]

Pics are a little clearer, but the green has been really tough to capture!

Amethyst square cut ring

CCN... I love the sapphire and the setting, very pretty with the flowing flower.. The sapphire is a very nice blue, not too dark.

The tulip setting is also very pretty and really goes well with the Barry stone. Very delicate looking.

Than the Peridot/Tourmaline ring...WOW! Such a intricate ring. It''s beautiful!

 

[cushioncutnut]

Very pretty pieces SCN! They all have such pretty stones in them and I love all the inticate and delicate details!!
