[Stone Hunter]

WOW just a STUNNING stone and the color shift is very dramatic. Congrats!!!

 

[geckodani]

Yay! It''s beautiful!!!!!!

 

[akmiss]

I love the blue

It is very sparkly! Congrats

 

[packrat]

Beautiful! What are you going to do w/it? duh, I just saw it's your ering stone. What setting?

 

[MissDayna]

Thanks Brandy, Stone Hunter, Geckodani, akmiss and packrat. The colour shift really is awesome, but the camera just doesn''t pick up how much it sparkles IRL.

This is the setting that I''m going to use for it, a six prong solitaire trellis setting, in 18k white gold, the band is about 3mm.

 

[mochi]

Very pretty stone and setting!!

 

[Stone Hunter]

Oh that''s going to be just lovely in that setting. I love your setting choice.

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol. If you go look at my original ering, you''ll get an idea of what yours will look like. My stone is a little bit bigger (1.2ct/6.5mm), but the setting was a Royal Crown replica as well. Oh, and my stone was cut by Barry.

Beautiful stone! I expect nothing less from Mr. Stair.

 

[AllieGator]

That is a gorgeous stone! The color shift is wonderful, it will make a great engagement ring.

 

[MissDayna]

Thank you mochi, Stone Hunter, FrekeChild and AllieGator

FrekeChild - your ering is stunning! I have to admit that it was your ring that made me fall in love with colour change spinels in the first place - I''d never even heard of spinel at all til I found this site. And now I''m already starting a collection of them, Barry is going to mail me my 3rd one tomorrow

 

[joy2theworld]

Absolutely gorgeous! I''ve been emailing Dan for a similar stone for a few months, but it seems like all the ones I''ve seen on his site are on the darker end which isn''t what I''m looking for right now since I bought a darker one from Barry.

 

[mercoledi]

Beautiful! Nice shift on that one. Congrats!!

 

[Magenta]

Lovely stone, MissDayna!

Where are you getting the setting from?

 

[cinnamon013]

Pretty stone! It should look lovely in that setting.

 

[loriken214]

WOW....I''m looking forward to seeing this pretty on your hand!

Lori

 

[Kelli]

Gorgeous!

 

[MissDayna]

Thanks joy2theworld, mercoledi, Magenta, cinnamon, Loriken and Kelli

Magenta, I''m getting the setting from Adiamor

 

[Lovinggems]

Congratulations and I love your spinel, especially in the last photo.

Great color shifter! It is a beautiful spinel and will make a gorgeous e-ring; I love the setting, it is so elegant - can''t wait to see the finished ring!
