My purple spinel and diamond ring (with a visit from my OEC e-ring)!

[FacetFire]

I realized today that I have never shared any pictures of one of my favorite right-hand rings with you all. So, I hurried outside and snapped a few pics. It is a round purple spinel (about 7 or 7.5mm) with two small diamond side-stones (maybe .25 carats each E/F color). Then on either side, there are three channel set diamonds. I normally don't like channel set stones that much, but I thought they were the perfect compliment to this setting. This was a gift to myself for graduating from law school last year. (But my mom was kind enough to find the purple spinel for me).

So, without further ado, here are some pics...I hope you enjoy them!

I had to take the pics on my left hand, so that I could hold the camera with my right.

A little closer

Here is a really up-close shot. This spinel gives off so much fire, but it was tricky to catch.

Okay, one last shot. My e-ring had to say a quick hello. Thanks for letting me share!

WOW! That is absolutely gorgeous!

I love the shot of both rings together - lots of fire. Congratulations on your graduation from law school too. You deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done.

Wow, your spinel is just amazing! It's the most perfect shade of purple, and the faceting of the stone really got me drooling! Your e-ring is also one of my favourite on PS! I'm dying of envy...

 

[rainbowtrout]

love it! Yummy, yummy spinel!

 

[FacetFire]

Thank you all SO MUCH for all the kind words about my rings! I am so glad that you like the purple spinel. It was kind of something that I did on the spur-of-the-moment. I only wish I got to wear it more often, but my wardrobe is lacking in purple. But I try to bring it out as often as possible!

 

[DMBsGirl]

That stone is gorgeous!

 

[mrssalvo]

wow, they are both just wonderful....i never tire of seeing your OEC ring too..

 

[dianne]

OMG! This is beautiful! Would it be possible to get a shot from the side to see the channel-set diamonds that extend down the band? Gorgeous!

 

[marcy]

Wow! I love spinel and your purple spinel is exceptional! What a beauty! I love it and it''s gorgeous next to your equally lovely ering. Thanks for posting these photos.

OT: Did you decide on a wedding dress?

 

[ksprincess]

That ring is just sooooo gorgeous!

 

[monarch64]

Beautiful spinel facetfire! I think you chose the perfect setting for it, it really sets off that gorgeous stone! It looks great next to your e-ring, love the shot of the e-ring saying hello!
