I forgot what the sun looks like!!! All it does is rain!

It shipped!!! My engagement ring got shipped today. A gorgeous mint/pale teal Montana sapphire from Earth's Treasury and an equally gorgeous semi-custom platinum setting from BGD! I'm so excited and even my pragmatic soon to be fiance is impressed.

If I knew where you lived, I would come steal this from you!! :twisted2:

Oh my, it’s been a looong while since anyone unearthed one of my ring posts! Thank you so much for the compliment, I think I’ll probably be buried with that one!

That ring changed my life. It was my first proper CS piece and I fell in love. And now I’m a CS Jeweller ;)2 =)2


PS: , I changed my handle a while ago.

WOW! So many people assume that the only reason a woman chooses something other than a traditional diamond engagement ring is because of an issue with $$$. Next time I argue about that, I can use this ring as an example in order to prove my point! Congrats!

That is SO true!

If you don't mind smaller stones in not as popular/top colors, Earth's Treasury can have some awesome prices. They are GORGEOUSLY cut. I can even see H&A derived patterns in the stone without my loupe. And it sparkles like crazy, even to the point of flashing the occasional dispersion rainbow! (Due to the light color. Darker tones won't do this I suspect.)

And I have a pink tourmaline ring also for years, which would deserve more love. Therefore I post it here, I hope someone loves it:

I’m afraid, you are going to be disappointed about it, but I almost never wear the ring, only the band. I don’t know why, but it’s just nit my style at this phase of my life. Maybe later. I will never part with it.

Pendant with a zircon from Master cut gem. It actually looks much better in person than in these photos.

I finally watched all of “Crazy Rich Asians.” I never had much patience to sit through love stories, but I got an awesome film still of that emerald. ;-)

Ducky!!

That emerald is amazing! And the setting! :love:

I saw Crazy Rich Asians in the cinema, and the audience audibly gasped when that ring shot came on the screen.

You know I am a gemstone addict when I sit through a love story (which I don’t care for), just for the gems. Lol! Michelle Yeoh’s performance was great though, and she has awesome taste!!

That film had some amazing jewelry. Loved her jade pieces too.

A little nervous, but here goes! Purchased a few loose sapphires last year and had them set recently. All untreated. Not perfect clarity but the colors hooked me in. Settings are all custom.
Blue: 1.4 carat with diamonds, 14k white gold
Purple: 0.9 carat flanked by pink round sapphires, 14k rose gold
Yellow: 2.08 carat with diamonds, 14k yellow gold

I especially like the yellow sapphire and setting and the simplicity of the purple sapphire ring.

I love that each of the sapphires and their settings are so different.

Inspiration for setting was from a poster with a very similar stone from years ago, I’d give credit if I remembered the users name. It was a gift for my mother.

I think this aquamarine is beautiful! What a lovely gift for your mum :)

Really awesome eye candy, everyone! I'll share one of my rubies because I love red.
