This page is an eye candy overload! All of your rings are gorgeous! Your purple sapphire is the perfect shade. That setting is lovely. Have fun setting your zircon!
Well, you are just too sweet! :kiss2: Thank you! I love the purple sapphire. I prefer a more pink purple vs the popular blue purple and it took forever to find one I liked. :D

Gorgeous color! I love the setting too!

What a beautiful collection you have, Elle! Dreams are made of your eye candy!!!
Thank you! You know I'm totally in love with your snowflake ring. :love:

Both your paraiba ring and your cat are just beautiful.
Thank you! Both this paraiba ring and this kitty cat are my favorites (shhhhh...don't tell the others). :lol-2:

Not that long ago, my DH gave me a home made gift card for David Klass. I had a small project in mind for some hauyne that I picked up from Yvonne. Since I was officially given the green light, I was off like a rocket to have this new ring made. :D

Here’s a still from David’s video.

ETA: Ignore my nails. This is the saddest they’ve looked in forever! They managed to survive a serious episode of house cleaning but not one single day of travel. :wall:

I have a special place in my heart for hauyne. Your ring is super nice. You let the stones shine all by themselves. It looks so delicate on your pretty fingers.

Thank you! Your love of blue is starting to rub off on me. :mrgreen2:

It’s so BLUE. I love it!!
Thanks! It’s definitely the strongest blue I’ve seen in person. :cool2:

Gorgeous color and such an ethereal design!
Thank you! I wanted something delicate and super wearable (while also managing to use all those different sizes). :D

I love the fun way your ring just pops hauyne blue!
Thank you! :D

High praise @Acinom :kiss2: I wanted something super wearable and I it went beyond my expectations.

My new Merelani mint garnet from precision gem. He described it as almost tsav color and I have to agree. It’s nice and saturated.
1.035ct
5.95mm

Here’s a quick video under indoor lights.

You beat me to it for purchasing this gorgeous mint garnet, so I hope you set it soon instead of hoarding more loose gems in your box! ;)2

Uh oh! :confused2: Sorry you missed out on it (though I would be lying if I said I was unhappy I got it. :lol:). You can have dibs, if I every change my mind on it.
I don't know how long it will take to set it. I keep spending my money on new gems instead of being responsible and setting the ones I already have. It's a sickness I tell you! :eek-2:

It is so beautiful!
Thank you! :kiss2:

Thank you. :kiss2: Not a bad idea. :mrgreen2:

I bought this lavender spinel from Jim McCormick on FB. It’s a gorgeous freaking color but it turns out I don’t love step cuts. :confused: I know, shocking right?! Not precision cutting but still pretty good.
I am sending it back but I thought I’d post it in case anyone’s been looking for one. This baby is definitely sizable at 3.93ct. I bet it would look amazing in a vintage style setting.

A link to my insta post on it (including video): https://instagram.com/p/BowkbxghMj5/

My new ring from @ElleW at The Genstone Project.
It features a 1.07ct tsavorite garnet (7.5 x 6mm) in her stunning Feuilles Dorées design.

:kiss2: That is sooo gorgeous!

Funny thing: I thought you were the gemstone project owner, and then realized you don’t have a trade badge. :lol-2: Nope, you just really like the shop.
