Lots of stackers

[mariedtiger]

Anyone notice I had a photo shoot today?

Anyway, here are my stackers, I just love combining them. Photo taken in warm lamp light.

From the top: Opal, rubellite, chrysocolla, star sapphire (cresla.com), tsavorite (AJSGems), spinel (by John, Gemrite) Amethyst (by Barry, ACStones).

Stackers made by Etsy sellers McFarland Design and One Garnet Girl.

Amethyst close up. When I got this one, I thought it was too dark. But now it''s set, I love it.

 

[mariedtiger]

Bluish flashes.

 

[mariedtiger]

Reddish flashes.

 

[mariedtiger]

The bezel is 14K rose gold, I highly recommend it for amethyst, wonderful contrast!

This star sapphire was 30$ from cresla.com, totally worth it for a learning stone. It has a great star, although it''s pod shaped and teeny tiny.

Surprise stone from John.

 

[mariedtiger]

One of my first gems, a near one carat tsavorite from AJS. Really pretty in sunlight!

Very lovely! I am after some stackers myself and found myself looking up Heart of Water, following the many recommendations here.

Gorgeous collection! I now have stacker envy

 

[CravingDiamonds]

Wow, you have a great collection of stackers. You must have a different selection on your fingers everyday of the week. I really like the purple amethyst and don''t think it is too dark at all.

Nice - especially the tsavorite and the spinel.

Thank you for all of your beautiful comments everyone! One of the funnest part of my day is deciding which baubles to wear

I recommend Sally warmly as well, the quality of her team''s work is way beyond anything else I have come across stackerwise.

You know what envy means don''t you Chiapet? You have some shopping to do (enabling enabling

).

 

[icekid]

Wow, that is quite a collection! The amethyst is my fav- Barry''s work gets me every time!

 

[T L]

How fun!!

 

[cellentani]

Wow, you''ve been busy! Are all of these after your mother''s ring? How fantastic and fun!

 

[mariedtiger]

Yeah, I kind of went a bit crazy after that, realizing with the price of the mother''s ring, I could have gotten 30-50 stackers

But then they are different kinds of rings too.

What a collection; I especially like the amethyst and tsavorite.

 

[mochi]

What a wonderful collection! Beautiful, my favorite is the tsavorite and the amythyst.

 

[marcy]

How fun!

 

[cinnamon013]

Awesome collection!

 

[CharmyPoo]

Lovely collection! I need myself some nice stackers too.

It''s funny you mentioned the amethyst was dark. I bought an oval amethyst from Barry as well and almost returned it because I thought it was too dark. I stuck it in a setting and it looked ok so I haven''t returned it yet.

 

[mariedtiger]

Thanks Guys!

CharmyPoo, I thought of you and your amethyst when I wrote that comment. It''s funny about the amethyst, it is dark, but those flashes of blue and red makes it worth it. What''s more, the fact that it is in a pretty peachy (orangey) rose gold setting helps a lot, because as you know, purple and orange are complementary colors. So when the ammy is at its darkest in some lights, and looks opaque, the purple still stands out against the rose gold. In silver or white gold I think it would just be too dark for me
