Stunning, as usual, @icy_jade! It looks like a giant sunflower. :kiss2:

@rubyshoes Yvonne certainly does make the most of those deliciously saturated stones in her designs, doesn't she? What a great piece for spring! It's very regal looking.

And I’m also taking purple - mostly purple bi-colored spinel that is rather poorly cut (to much window). 3DFB4626-B34C-4E1B-B428-E698DB0E50F5.jpeg 1D82453B-46E1-4DEE-BE57-DE676FB5C63E.jpeg 04732D8B-556F-4D91-9B6A-82EA6BDB1F3C.jpeg

Next is pink, if my memory is correct.

I don't see a window! But I love the concave cut. I'm also really enjoying the cut on your blue one. I think I'd set that one in a 3-stone design flanked by a couple of kite-shaped diamonds. :appl:

Thanks, @Daisys and Diamonds, I shall be waiting for the next round of green! Now that @alh56 has shown her fresh green bracelet, it is time for blue. @Autumn in New England may I submit my cobalt blue Mahenge spinel now that it has been set? I am so thrilled with it. Thank goodness that despite all my whining, I didn’t return it (your good advice). B6F56EC2-B773-4047-AB3E-6A079CD7DBD7.jpeg 9F574357-422A-46C0-913E-A7861D81949F.jpeg

what a stunning piece

Oh I'm just so thrilled you kept her!!!!!!! And what beautiful justice you did in "dressing" her. She's magnificent! And it's an unexpected look that you paired the stone with yellow good. The color is so well saturated that it can hold its own against anything. Big congrats!! :appl:

Thank you @Autumn in New England for persuading me to keep her and oh my, how the prices of Mahenge cobalt spinels have climbed. Yes, I thought the yellow gold contrasted well with the blue. The design was suggested by a jeweller who has been in the trade for over 50 years.
