Freke''s Blue E-bling!

[FrekeChild]

I''m a dork. I know.

Story and a couple of pics here!

1.2ct
Barry Bridgestock
Blue spinel
6.5mm
14kt
Vatche Royal Crown replica
3mm shank

It changes from a grape-y purple inside and under fluorescent lights, and it''s blue in natural lighting. Sometimes it looks gray-ish and sometimes it''s a combination of purple and blue. Overall, it''s sparkly and I love it! These are the shots I took last night and this morning in Vegas, so there will be a real photoshoot probably tomorrow some time. YAY!!!

Inside at night

 

[FrekeChild]

More purple-y-ness.

 

[FrekeChild]

Not totally sold on the setting, but I'll figure it out later. If I don't change the setting, the prongs need to be changed. They are somewhat pokey. (ETA: Sorry about the fingerprints!)

 

[FrekeChild]

In daylight.

 

[FrekeChild]

Yup those prongs do not make me happy...

 

[FrekeChild]

More blue.

 

[FrekeChild]

And more blue... (The stone looks GORGEOUS here!)

 

[FrekeChild]

And my favorite shot, because you can see the (engagement) shoebox in the background.

Last shot for now. I''ll be back with more later!

Oh, and the ring size is a 6.5.

 

[arjunajane]

Oh, Freke, Sweetheart !
The COLOURS!!

I adore the pics of it in daylight, that blue is to TDF..who am I kidding, so is the purple.!

But the blue in the sun..it looks like a crystal pool of water in Turkey or something, lol..You must be staring at your hand all the time..?

I'm sorry you're not happy with the setting..will you change just the prongs or the whole thing?


Congrats on finally having your dream ring !

 

[pinkstars]

Congratulations! It looks GORGEOUS!!!!!
I looooove the color!

 

[bling addict]

Congratulations on your engagement Freke!
Your Spinel is TDF - I LOVE the colour! It''s a stunning stone!

Congratulations again - I''m sure you''ll find a setting you love!

 

[bling addict]

I'm back already to stare at your beautiful blue e-bling (again)!

 

[Lorelei]

Its beautiful Freke and many congrats on your engagement!

 

[zoebartlett]

The stone is gorgeous! Did your FI get the setting as a temporary setting? I only ask because it doesn''t seem like it''s something you''ll stick with.

 

[gwendolyn]

Oh my goodness, it is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Like you, the prongs aren''t really my thing, but that stone--oh baby!

Also, the part in your proposal story where you say he got all teary and said he wanted to get it done sooner...that made me cry. How utterly sweet.

Congrats to the both of you again, Freke!!!!!!!!!

 

[iluvcarats]

That stone is just beautiful Freke! Purple AND Blue all in one. It doesn''t get much better than that!

Wear it in health and happiness!

 

[GoodSoul]

Wow! That''s a very nice color stone! I love the blue and purple! Congratulations on your engagement!

 

[Pandora II]

Congratulations!

Gorgeous stone, love the colour!

I see what you mean about the setting - I''d be tempted to put that baby in a half bezel. I love the thick band though.

 

[Fly Girl]

Gorgeous, gorgeous stone, Freke! Love it!

Congratulations on your engagement!

 

[Tuckins1]

Beautiful! Congratulations!!

 

[mrssalvo]

it''s beautiful freke!!

 

[icekid]

What a stunning spinel... BB is the best!! I'll be awaiting more photos

eta- if you change the setting, I am with Pandora. I could totally see a half bezel!

 

[Nocturnius]

Lovely!

Blue is so fitting for you!

 

[dani13]

Its gorgeous, Freke!!! The color of that stone is amazing. Congratulations on your engagement!!!! So happy for you!!!

 

[coatimundi_org]

Oh Liz it's gorgeous!! Congratulations!!

Love your proposal story too!

I love the stone(lovely color!), and I love it in proportion with the width of the shank--perfect!

Do you want to reshape the prongs--more pointed or claw? I think that would be gorgeous.

So happy for you Liz!

 

[star sparkle]

Gorgeous! Now we need the shoe/ring shots!

 

[LD]

Not only a great taste in shoes but also in gems! What a wonderful story (congratulations by the way) but a lovely ring as well. I love gems that shift colour.

Many many congratulations to both you and Mr Freke.

 

[CNOS128]

Congratulations! Sounds like it was the perfect proposal for you! Blue bling is lovely!

Now, you let us know if you need help finding shoes...
