JKT Katie setting

[brandy_z28]

I am so happy with the ring! I unfortunately don''t have many good pics right now. The weather has been terrible here the past week and it doesn''t seem like it''s going to improve in the next few days unfortunately. I only need a few moments of sunshine.

The stone:

Tundura Tanzania Spinel 1.38 cts 6.5mm purchased from Barry Bridgestock at acstones.

Now for the finished product.

The indoor lighting shift to purple

[ma re]

Wow that ring is really something! So elegant!

 

[bling addict]

It''s a lovely ring - I really like the setting!

 

[brandy_z28]

Thank you jstarfireb, princessplease, LtlFirecracker, ma re, and bling addict! I was very disappointed in most of the pictures I was able to get and hope to have better ones by this weekend when the rain and clouds go away. The stone was dark to begin with and I''d say it darkened just a touch with the bezel. It by no means blacks out though. The setting is open at the bottom and lets lots of light in and the brilliance is amazing! I just wish I could capture it.

[haagen_dazs]

very nice..
how does one describe this kind of colour?
did you feel like the real life look matched the vendor photos ?
thanks for sharing!

 

[SparkleSparkle]

Gorgeous! Now I''m getting even more excited - I''m somewhat patiently waiting on a "Katie" from JKT myself... hopefully I''ll have it by the end of the year, but if not, I''m sure it''ll be worth waiting for!

The bezel work is well done; you have a lovely ring.

 

[brandy_z28]

I'd say it's this stone is a gunmetal grey in some lights and a steely blue in others, even purplish under incandescents. This stone came from Barry Bridgestock and his photos and descriptions are spot on. He said this stone would give me a lot of different looks and that it does!

ETA some loose stone pics

I missed this thread the first time around. That stone looks great in that setting and on your hand, so clean and pretty. I love the color change.

Thanks glitterata!
