Just For Fun

Beautiful!! I would have to say Team Turquoise. My recent indoctrination about paraibas (which I had never heard of before these forums!) is almost complete.

Wow!!! What a thread! What a collection !

I voted for team Pretty Pink Spinel of course!

1. It has that stunning new elongated cushion like stone in that marvelous ivy&rose setting
and it turned out beautiful! Like it was custom made! Just beautiful & feminine!
2. Then you have your sweet lil' watermelon 3-stone inspired by @T L 's ring which I love the original and your inspired mini one!
3. The group has your cushion spinel ring that reminds me of something a Cuban mob bosses
daughter that was a little princess would own!
4. It has your Yvonne tourbillion ring that is cousins to my own "Mermaid Bubblegum" gal!
5. Do I even have to mention your crown ring?!? I swear if you go crazy & ever decide
to sell her...I will be all over that!
6. Two words: ROSE GOLD. This group has delicious rose gold which you know I'm
quite a fan of!

Leave it to you to write one of the most entertaining responses lol. Sounded like you were writing a love song for each one. I'm planning more projects with Daniel M in rose gold. Not going to be a tease about it though like you were posting about your paraiba ring, which by the way, looks so deliciously beautiful! I think it's going to inspire me to get at least one future ring to be engraved, too!

The pretty-in-pink spinel group could have a love song made for each one! lol
I know you have your adorable kitty but I'm drawing a blank for other greens, you must have a few though right? You need to build that group up so it won't feel left out & it too can have its own photoshoot! Also do you think that you'll have any gold cabochon rings ever made in the future or youre just not as drawn to them as precision cut babies? I find myself torn between the two so my collection is less cohesive than yours & more all over the place.

Thank you for your sweet compliment! I think it's going to look even better in person, I can't wait! & yes I had to tease everyone! At least they saw the face of the ring, I could have only posted a shot of the back!Oh & engravings are so fun! They're like frosting on the cake & just add a touch of charm to the piece. On my Paraiba and diamond ring that was only my second time doing the wheat engraving and I love how it looks.I'm also a sucker for a good antique inspired swirl design engraving.

I'm not as drawn to cabs, and I am someone who would not do a $400 setting for a $40 cab. The only cab I've set in gold is that red spinel one that you drooled over last year. I would set paraiba cabs in gold or platinum.

As for team green, there's all kinds of green, and I don't find what I have cohesive.

But, maybe four projects that'll get set later this year can join team green.

From leftmost clockwise: mint tourmaline, grossular garnet, chrome tourmaline, emerald and Russian demantoid, my two favorite green type gems.

Voce, you have such a beautiful and varied collection! I am so impressed, and I can’t decide.

Enjoy them all, and enjoy having such wonderful taste and creativity!

Ooh, that dragonfly project caught my eye! Looking forward to it.
