Hi, I’m a new poster from Australia. Joined to do some research on marquise diamonds for a ring I’m planning on having made in the next 3yrs ( I know, it’s a long time away but I’m a planner) for our 20th wedding anniversary. Anyhoo I thought I’d add some photos of my two grown up coloured stone rings.
The opal is from Coober Pedy and has two rhodolite garnets set alongside it. A local manufacturing jeweller had it in her window two years ago when I happened to walk past. Opals are October’s birth stone and it was my birthday the following month - which was October. I normally don’t ask for anything on my birthday but that year I told my husband in no uncertain terms that ring was to be there when I opened my eyes! It is worn nearly every day and I adore it every time I look at it.
I turned 50 last month and my husband wanted to surprise me with a family jewel. His late grandfather spent a lot of time during his life fossicking in Inverell for sapphires - mainly in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. My husband’s grandmother, mother, aunt, cousins and himself were all gifted cut sapphires over the years. My husband’s stone from his 18th birthday we had mounted in his wedding band so he sees it every day. My MIL was given among others a bi-coloured sapphire ring during the 60’s as a birthday present from her parents. My in-laws are now in their late 70’s and offered this ring to my husband to gift to me. Unfortunately both grandparents have long since passed and my MIL can’t recall any details but the ring is beautiful to me for both sentimental and physical reasons.
Here is my new queen! 2.26 sapphire and 1.1 and 1.05 diamond shoulders. I love her as she looks antique which was the style I wanted. Love looking at all the rings!!

Since I’ve finally stopped lurking and am now posting, I shall play. My engagement ring has two sapphires, and one of my right hand rings is a blue diamond. I am in love with this blue diamond, and my heart still stops whenever I look at her. I still cannot believe my husband remembered that I mentioned that I saw a woman wearing a blue diamond that I loved back in 2014, and that he looked for the perfect stone until he finally found it in 2018.
