Let's play a game... rainbow gems.

[Ellipses]

Something blue - mostly blue bi-colored spinel.

And I’m also taking purple - mostly purple bi-colored spinel that is rather poorly cut (to much window).

Next is pink, if my memory is correct.

 

[Crimson]

Oh my! I didn’t know this was still on. How many rounds of the rainbow have I missed? To make up for it, here is my pink ring-pendant.

 

[Avondale]

Heeey, I finally have a (raspberry) red I can show here!

Ooh so pretty. Pls tell me more about this stone!

Orange is next and here is my Mexican fire opal partially in its covering/sheath. Got this ring from Sally Heart Of Water ages ago.

Yellow plays next!

It’s a ruby and I have an entire thread on it, and that’s all I’ll say because I’ve spammed this forum with it enough to give even the most patient person a headache.

Haha I am gonna go look up your thread. I adore rubies and yours is so pretty.

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

@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.

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.

Sigh... there she is...

This is the one from GEMSDEPOSIT, @Avondale? She's beaming!!

Believe me, if I had another one of that size, I would’ve spammed the forum with it long ago.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

It's still St. Paddy's Day here in the US! This isn't shamrock green, but I do <3 this soft green nephrite bracelet. Hope it does the trick for you, @Daisys and Diamonds .

 

[Crimson]

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).

Glad you like it, @Daisys and Diamonds and @mellowyellowgirl
I liked the design of the setting instantly — marquises, trapezoids and rounds, and the eyelashes. The blue eye is a little nod to my Grandfather, who had blue-grey eyes.

I missed out on the St. Paddy's Day festivities here, so thank you for this!

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!!

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.
