For my first custom project of 2023 and birthday present to myself, I decided to set a few of the small gemstones I’ve been collecting into stacking rings. [Warning: photo overload coming up :P2]

The gems:
0.62 ct natural light gray diamond
0.84 ct Muzo emerald (minor oil)
1.66 ct Ceylon purple sapphire (no heat/treat)
0.79 ct Madagascar blue sapphire (heat only)
0.79 ct Burmese ruby (no heat/treat)
1.14 ct Loliondo spessartite garnet (no heat/treat)

The bands:
14k unplated white gold, 2mm each. I asked for different textures for all the bands, to mix things up. The bezels were the “unifying factor.” Had a little fun with the ruby, turning it into a snake ring (inspired mostly by @ItsMainelyYou ‘s snake ring).

After I received the first set of rings, I was on the lookout for a bright yellow and/or orange gemstone to complete my rainbow. I found a “Fanta garnet” spess from DesertRose and had her send it directly to DK. So my rainbow is somewhat complete! I may need a bright yellow stone at some point :bigsmile:

I wanted to be able to stack/mix & match/pair to my heart’s desire…and these seem to be doing the trick! Amazing work by DK, as always!

I love them, all of those beautiful textures and colors in one fell swoop.
We're going to need some sun pics of these lovelies when you get time:bigsmile:

I'm excited and flattered that I was any inspiration in that lovely snickety snack ruby band!
I feel fancy!

They're lovely! The colours are so vibrant. I have no idea how you're going to choose which ones to wear and match, I'd just want all of them all of the time. :lol:
 
Beautiful! I love the band/setting of the spessartite garnet! Did you design that band too?
 
How fun is this! Love all the beautiful colors and textures. Endless stacking possibilities!!
Enjoy.
 
Gorgeous colors!!
 
Stunning!:kiss2:
 
Holy crap I absolutely LOVE these! What a stunning idea!!
 
So fantastic! Thank you for sharing such cheerful pics!

Happy Happy Birthday!
Absolutely love this!! :love:

Wonderful stone choices and set in a way that’s so so versatile. Enjoy the heck outta these!
I’m :mrgreen: with envy!

Is this DKJ’s never needs plating white gold, or the nickel version without plating? Just curious!
 
Oh my goodness, they are like beautiful gemstone candy! There's no way that anyone could not smile and be happy with them on your fingers! Enjoy!
 
Fun! I love the different combinations of colors and textures! Plus, the endless stacking options!
 
Love the colors and great stackers!
 
They are so fun!! I love these. Live that they are all slightly different too, in the bands the settings angles etc. just gorgeous.
 
@Eli22 what wonderful creativity and it brings such joy! They look fantastic stacked on your index finger but I have to admit, my weakness is when they are stacked horizontally... :kiss2:

Can't wait to see you play around with these some more, esp with that gorgeous spess!

& happy birthday!

Thank you so much!! Your snake ring DEFINITELY inspired me! I was lusting after a snake ring of my own, and thought why not set one of the gems into a snake? DK did so well on the scales and the snake head!

How gorgeous is this!!
Thank you! I am enjoying them so much!

This is such a fun set that works so well all together or as solitaires! So many options!
Thank you - that was the main idea behind the set...mix and match!

beautiful!!! I love how the ruby turned out, especially!
Thanks! I am so happy with the snake ring!
 
I love this! What a fun way to wear your gorgeous gems!
Thank you so much! I am loving it as well...such a good use of my "snot-sized" gems ;)2

So pretty and versatile!
Thank you! The options are seemingly endless...I love how I can wear one, two, three or all!

Delicious
:lickout::lickout::lickout:

These are awesome! So many amazing colors!
Thanks! I wanted the colors to stand on their own and together, if that makes sense. I initially had a darker "twilight" sapphire that I wanted to set...but glad I replaced it with the brighter blue!

If I have Neptune's seal of approval on wearing multiple rings...I am happy!

What a fabulous idea & stunning result! Yes please!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!

They're lovely! The colours are so vibrant. I have no idea how you're going to choose which ones to wear and match, I'd just want all of them all of the time. :lol:
Thanks Avondale! I am so glad I don't have to choose - I have been wearing them all at once lol...at risk of looking like a mini-Thanos :P2
