Sleepy spectrum in the shade.

Chunky monkey.

Looking earthy.

Undercarriage

From side...

...to side!

 

[Love in Bloom]

Getting to the middle.

The spinel sparkles best when lit from the back:

Fingertips.

Showing some red.

The taper and shine (sorry for the dust)

Lit up again

The palm.

For scale.

In artificial light.

And finally...posing. That's all for now; hope you enjoyed!

Very cool--I love jewelry sketches.

Bold and lovely indeed! I too have had bold rings on the brain.

C''mon over to the beach!

Definitely! This is what I have to look forward to for the next 4-5 months, only with more ice and less foliage ...

Oh I know! I used to live in the midwest--is that where you are? When do you send the edible purple back to VC for prong work? Must be so hard to part with it! haHA maybe YOU should accompany it to CA.

and thanks for the kind words on the JM band.

your ring is great. i love purple.

 

[Jelly]

Beautiful ring!

 

[iheartscience]

Wow, the new pictures are AMAZING! Whatever you do, please don''t seek help for your VC addiction...I LOVE every ring you have from them! They''re all just stunning and this one is gorgeous, too! I love the side view...killer! So dainty and perfect.

And you take crazy good pictures...VC should hire you to be their photographer and pay you in jewels!

What a beautiful stone to match such a beautiful mounting. I could stare at it all day long and never get anything done!!

 

[Love in Bloom]

Thanks Radiantquest and Jelly!

Thing2of2 - I'm obviously a little Van Craeynest ring-obsessed and maybe I need to stop for a while

. Thanks about my pictures; that photography set-up WOULD be a dream ... though I do think Edl's pics are the most elegant, by far!

Tourmaline_Lover - Uh oh, I DO have the reputation of being a distraction, hehe. I'm glad you like the combo. I stare at your colored diamonds too!

The midwest, really? I am in "Hoosier" territory, and it was quite a culture shock when I moved here. Where were you before and when did you move to "the beach"?

I haven''t sent my ring back for prong work yet because I still need to make up my mind about the basket. May even change it altogether, but I''m still thinking about it. Dangerous thoughts they are...

LOVE that JM band!

I lived in Chicago before beach. Hoosier! Culture shock indeed! Where were you before? Sooo... do you have the VC PDF catalogue on your desktop? Cause I do.

eta: I realized you don't need the catalogue--haHA! You wear it!

Love the new pics LIB, just absolutely breathtaking !

 

[diamondseeker2006]

How I missed this, I don''t know, but I am so glad somebody bumped it back up! It is just beautiful, of course! Where did you get the pretty spinel? I love the color!

 

[dancingflame]

I LOVE the little flowers. That''s a really pretty setting.

No way! I hope I didn''t make you feel bad-I was just teasing! Your pieces are GORGEOUS and if you love VC you should get as much VC as you want! My two cliche philosophy is that you only live once and you can''t take it with you!

I am obsessed with clothes and shoes (and handbags!) myself, so that''s what I buy a lot (okay, way too much) of! Jewelry lasts a lifetime so it makes a lot more sense to buy it!

I''ve often wished that I could get myself to save all the money I spend on clothes and shoes and put it towards jewelry instead!
