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!

Haven’t had a chance to do a proper photoshoot with the spess ring yet, but here they are all together!

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?

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!

@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!

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
