I am so excited to see the ring! From the pics, it looks perfect to me! I'm going to have to wait another 1 1/2 weeks to see it because I'm out of town right now. Just my luck to get the"your ring is finished" email from David the night before I left. Oh well...it gives me something to look forward to when i get home.

I'm having it delivered to my office and have asked my good friend to take pictures of it when it gets there, that's how impatient I am!

Found some beach glass today that is just the right color for this thread

 

[lovedogs]

I love sea glass! I think it's beautiful and comes in such great colors. I especially like blue, and the sea glass you found is a perfect fit with your stone!

 

[lilmosun]

I love sea glass too...are you going to make anything with it?

Not sure how I missed this thread as I love blue (or maybe it's my way of staying out of temptaion). So many beauties..Niel, that pendant is fantastic and looks great on you. Picante, can't wait to see your ring!

 

[Acinom]

So happy to hear you are thrilled with the ring picante. It's a stunning piece. Timeless and elegant and with a gorgeous blue taking central stage.
Hope you do not mind that I share the pics of your ring here for the PSers who do not freqently look on Facebook.

 

[Sungura]

I really love Picante's new elegant ring and patiently await handshots like everyone else.

A belated congratulations to Rothschild55 for your well deserved "jewel of the week" designation

Neil Your pendant is beautiful. I didn't realize the stone was so large. I like your choice of yellow gold and I'm glad to know that DiamondZone can set nice bezels like that.

 

[picante27]

Thanks for all the nice comments everybody! I am loving my new ring! I finally had a chance to snap some quick photos of it (though I really should have put lotion on my hands first! ). I am very happy with the setting, David Klass always does a beautiful job and is so easy to work with. The topaz is unbelievably bright, it is so vibrant and just fun to wear. A big thank you to my friend niter for giving me the topaz (that she got from Jeff Davies) for my birthday!
It was a little tricky to get clear and crisp pictures of the topaz (I think because I have sunscreen residue on my cell phone's camera lens ) but here's a few that I thought were decent enough to share.

 

[SparkliesLuver]

It looks beautiful! It all came together so well. Congrats!

 

[picante27]

Thank you SparkliesLuver! I was just getting ready to post my inspiration pics of your tourmaline ring and the GLJW ring. I think DK did a good job of blending both of the settings, I really love the style!

I think he did too! Super glad you love it.

 

[Acinom]

DK did such an amazing job. So glad you love your ring picante! It looks so beautiful on your hand. I love this design

 

[lovedogs]

This design is so awesome -- classic and unique at the same time. Definitely one I have in my inspiration folder I love it on your hand, it looks amazing!!!

 

[sapphiremomma]

It probably doesn't count as electric but I love this vintage blue topaz and diamond ring I just got!

 

[Acinom]

What a beautiful stone and setting sapphiremomma!!!
Great choice: the ring looks stunning on you. Very chique.

Ricezo's mums stunning Electric Blue Topaz ring with stone by Barry Bridgestock

[lovedogs]

Really hoping someone from PS snatches this up! Found on the FB "gems" group. Here's the info:

1.78ct Electric Blue Topaz
$90
Dimensions: 8.5 x 6.3 x 5.2mm
Eye clean
"Global Oval" design by Robert Strickland

Origin unknown
Irradiated
Top color

Super interesting cut (IMHO), and being offered by a reasonable seller for a good price! Someone take advantage!

Bought a 14K CZ ring on DB to finally set the electric blue topaz that I purchased from Barry almost a year ago. The color is more intense IRL - very close to that of my blue zircon (which is why I hadn't gotten around to setting it earlier). Hopefully it's okay to post since the main stone is real.

Beautiful look Lilmosun! The ring looks stunning on your hand and I love how the Electric Blue truly pops with your skintone.
More pics please

I realised I never got to share photos of my wedding ring - but here it is, my first venture into yellow gold, and also my first venture into blue topaz. design is based off a vintage moi et toi ring being sold by JbG.

 

[Acinom]

Gorgeous sonyachancs
I love unique and elegant weddingrings. Who designed this beauty for you?
Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[Acinom]

Enjoyment indeed DDOC!!!
Thank you for sharing your blue topaz collection. It's great to see the different coloring in one post. Which one is your favourite?

I indeed love blues and greens and everything in between.

Acinom, my local B&M jeweler did it for me based on the photos I showed him - I got JD to cut the stones for me but gosh, hexagons are expensive to set!

DDOC, I love the natural blue colour!

 

[DDOC]

Hi Acinom,
I make for the trade, so I don't have any of these anymore.
I loved the natural because of the colour and look ( I am very fussy on cut )
I enjoyed making the pear shaped because of the articulation, it was hinged at the points and the chain passes under the top diamond.
As you're a fan of blue here is a pic of a 23 ct Sleeping Beauty Turquoise I did recently.

Stunning work, DDOC!

My 9mm electric blue topaz from Jeff D. arrived. I have a plan I'd reset my CvB Rendezvous and get a perfect skyblue beauty for coming sunny summer (hopefully sunny)

Thanks for sharing my picture @Acinom ! Here she is sitting on a rock, because my hands are too yuck to post on PS . It’s an 8.4mm round Electric Blue Topaz cut by Barry B, a lucky find on LT that I purchased from another PS’er
