Will do! Hopefully I will get it soon. I'm dying already and it's only been a couple days.
Aw, thank you. I used to wear a lot more diamonds. Then I fell in love with colored gems. They suit my personality so much better. Now, I use diamonds as a way to help make colors pop!
Thank You! I love the way you put that!

My ring came in yesterday and I am in LOVE!!! It's just as bright and saturated in person as I was expecting. Caysie called it a "total cherry bomb" and it really is. It's a bright pink-red that can show flashes of orange under certain indoor lights. I love it! I'm so happy right now. 
So share in my happiness. Pics coming right up.
Psst... SparkliesLuver, you're going to have to appreciate my nails in all their naked glory. Turns out I'm too lazy to paint them.

I was about to come in and poke you for handshots. Goodness gracious!!!
Haha, thank you! I know how much I hate waiting for other people's hand shots so I try not to wait too long to get them up.

There may or may not have been only drool in response to this ring. Witnesses will never tell!
Truly amazing, Elle. I'm so glad you brought it to life and did the stone justice. Well done!
Oh, and the nails, always on point. Girl, I'm forever jealous. hahahaha

I think "cherry bomb" is the perfect name for your spinel because she is the bomb. The color is so rich and the details on the ring are amazing. Truly a one of a kind ring that anyone would be proud to own.

Elle, it's all been said but here goes! Beautiful color and setting. CVB has such dainty pieces. I like the way you characterize the crystal/feather as her birth mark because as someone else said, these gems have life!! Now the song cherry bomb is running through my head 
. Wear it in health and joy.

I hope you will. Her work is a little more on the expensive side (for me anyway) but the details are gorgeous and some of the best I've seen in person.
Ha, thank you! I've drooled over your rings so it only seems fair.There may or may not have been only drool in response to this ring. Witnesses will never tell!

Thank you for the compliment on my nails. Always appreciated. Thank you. I tried to get some decent pics up here (and even bought flowers to bring it to PS standards
).Aww.I think "cherry bomb" is the perfect name for your spinel because she is the bomb. The color is so rich and the details on the ring are amazing. Truly a one of a kind ring that anyone would be proud to own.
Thank you. She is definitely a cherry bomb!It's my favorite part of the setting. So pretty and elegant looking.
Aww. Thank you!
Thank you. The color is just gorgeous in person. As a matter of fact, I'm staring at it right now.

I can see her birth mark pretty easily up close but it's hardly noticeable a foot away. It doesn't bother me because it's just part of who she is (similar to all the inclusions in my paraiba tourmalines). Now the song "cherry bomb" is running through my head!

Thank you. It's a vivid red-pink in person and just so darn pretty. I've been staring at it way too much.
Wow. That's high praise indeed! Thank you so much!
Ha, I too think so many gems look like yummy (if very expensive) candies. I remind myself that trying to eat them will result in a trip to the dentist.Goodness gracious that is seriously some deliciousness!!! Enjoy that beauty!!!
