I always get excited when I see an update in this thread... that halo is just crazy gorgeous! The sparkle must be visible from space. Loving the rich berry red tone of the garnet as well. Will you wear this for Christmas (if you celebrate it)?
Aw, thank you! I honestly couldn't resist that halo. I mean, it's made of the most perfect little old mine cuts!
It does look like the perfect Christmas ring so pretty good odds on me wearing it for the big day (aka: my favorite day of the year).Thank you! I love me a chunky halo, that's for sure!
Thank you! I'm pretty excited for this new one too. I'm obsessed with the old mine cut halo. I don't have anything quite like it.Gorgeous, gorgeous rings!! I love your latest find

A woman after my own heart.
I'm playing Christmas music at work right now. I even pulled out my small office Christmas tree with the twinkly lights, to give those holiday vibes.I swear to goodness, my coworkers are all grinches...they hate Christmas!

I’m going to be honest, I totally forgot to come back and share pics (bad Elle
). I grabbed a couple quick shots inside my house today so I could share. Palm shot so I can avoid showing my lazy girl chipped nail polish.
In the sun through my window. Trying to catch that beautiful fluorescence.

Damn PS for giving me expensive taste on my much smaller budget.Thank you! I really need to post here more.
Aw, you’re very sweet. I get excited to see your threads too.

Hehe can you show us Elle? I'd love to see what emerald you were oogling at.
Unless you plan to buy it and don't want it snapped up which I totally understand!

I totally wish I could buy it, but it’s WAY outside of my budget.

I did buy this paraiba and purple sapphire Lily ring from Cecile Raley Designs. I think she had it listed in her shop for like 3 seconds before I saw it and HAD to have it.
I believe the center is a 3.5mm paraiba and the small outside stones are 1.5mm paraibas. The purple sapphires are all 3mm.
