Just completed my latest jewelry project....

[Arthur Kennedy]

Very nice vivid (heated) 5×4 mm oval blue sapphire from the natural sapphire company (origin: Sri lanka). I already had the 10k yellow gold ring setting for a few years, and I finally found a gemstone for it that caught my eye. Gonna gift this soon.

I apologize for the photo being blurred ( once again ‍). But the color saturation is pretty fantastic, believe me--- indoors AND outdoors. Not too dark, not too light. Very pleased!

Thanks! I found the ring setting online a few years ago and I thought it was really striking. plus the first thing I did was make sure it was stamped 10K after I received it, of course (i try to always buy jewelry with a return policy to cover my ass--- new or used ). It came with a heavily included and poor quality emerald, but the price was quite reasonable (it was a gently used ring that the seller was apparently looking to dump fast via his "buy it now" option). so i bought it planning to remove the crappy emerald and replace it with something nice.... but it kinda just sat in a little container with an anti-tarnish strip for a few years before I got around to using it. ‍

Anyway, after a resizing ( and polishing) by my local jeweler it looks brand new. hellz, yeah!

My girlfriend always wears oval gemstone studs kind of crooked, which REALLY inflames my OCD. ‍‍ And she often doesn't line up the prongs on her 4-prong round brilliant diamond studs all that straight either (when we're together I always line 'em up neatly for her--- a service I provide free of charge ).

Good job.
Very pretty

Another finished Jewelry project to round out my gal's mother's Day gifts:

Pretty little freshwater Chinese pearl dangle earrings and a freshwater pearl pendant (with an absolutely gorgeous--- and deeply saturated--- pink/red rubellite tourmaline accent stone). All in sterling silver. I already gave her a pair of accent studs for her 2nd piercings a few months ago using a pair of hot pink rubellite tourmalines that completely match the pendant stone (all of these were purchased from the always-excellent Yvonne from Cecilia Ray designs). I'm kicking myself now for not buying a few more of those truly exceptional lil' tourmalines before they were all gone....

Here's another close-up pic of one of those lil' 5.2×4.2mm oval blue sapphire studs, gang--- and she's even wearing this oval in the traditional up and down configuration (instead of outright crooked or east-west).

I just love the color of the sapphires. Such a nice vivid blue. Mesmerizing! I find myself stealing glances at 'em whenever we're having dinner ( or just talking on the couch).

I feel like these puppies are pretty much the perfect size for 2nd piercings.

Completed "just because" jewelry I gave Mel last weekend: custom made 14k white gold natural diamond hoops (G color/excellent cuts/VS2 clarity) and a pair of lovely 6×4mm natural heated yellow sapphires from Sri Lanka. LOVE this combo!
