OMG! It is gorgeous and the warmth is so awesome in both types of light. Your set is beautiful. Extra amazing that the prongs aren't catching, too!

Well, not yet anyway :lol: I really love it though. I sat on that spinel for like 6/7 years and finally just let go of the my own hang up that the other stones had to be mined because of the spinel being a higher cost stone- and Bob's your uncle, here she is. Still not cheap, but no guilt.:))
I never take the band off and I have this little ouroboros band snugged in there now that also never comes off. Happy girl, is me!

Thank you! I do love her.
You know, I think I will.
*feeling resolute and hitching up my britches*
Yes, I will, even though it gets frustrating with my stupid cheap phone. Which I won't upgrade on principal because I'm too damned cheap myself. :lol:

Love love love! I aspire to own such a ring one day!

Also have a soft spot for ouroboros rings myself - just love the symbolism. I have a little silver one now - hope to get a gold one to replace it.

Thank you :mrgreen: I found mine on Etsy, it was under 200 bucks! Their actual dedicated site is Aegis Fine Jewellery.

Getting those glamour shots sure ain’t easy. :lol:
I think yours turned out just fine and you can see how beautiful your ring is regardless of the occasional blurry pic. Lol.

I love that little snake ring btw. So cute!

You know what's sad, but had me giggling like a loon in the yard? These are the best of the fails, too. They get waaay worse. :bigsmile: Even the snake was laughing at me.

Thank you :bigsmile: , and if only.
I'd spend the summer, maybe into fall, sleeping on the patio furniture for sure. :lol: I've been warned.

Gorgeous new pictures! I eventually caved and upgraded my phone to take better pictures. So I feel your pain. But seriously, your red spinel is beautiful!

Thank you, and I love your butterfly. It gets mad love from me ;))

Just in case you're an Android person like me, I recommend the Google Pixel phone for photos of gems. Don't know how it compares with a macro lens, but it's graded by experts to be better than the iPhone.

Thanks, I am. I'm not an Apple 'fan boi' so I'll check it out. :mrgreen:

Thanks, thanks @Polished1911 !
Fat, short fingers be damned! Get on there:bigsmile:
I love that ouroboros more than I even thought I would; little brat just makes me happy- I even talk to the damn thing when I'm bored :lol: And as a symbol/history dork, bonus!
I'm glad I got out of my own way with the cost difference of the spinel, because I am really digging my unmentionables in the set. I didn't know how I would find so many oec's to match otherwise. Love it.

I have an ouroboros band I’ve had my eye on for awhile. I hope to get it in the next year. I’ll probably talk to him too!!! The unmentionables are beautiful.
