I love to reduce, reuse and recycle. As I love to wear and enjoy my rings and stones instead of having them unused in my jewelry box. Here are my recycled goodies26C3A494-CC1F-4288-97ED-ED764E0DE087.jpeg
 
The pink stone is a Rhodolite garnet... I think. Bought it years ago from Jeff Davies and it was my only stone I intended on not setting. I thought it looked a bit dull and did not think it could work with my skintone. But now it’s set, it absolutely came to live. B38AE6F6-A74F-4399-9674-97C14CB21BFC.jpeg

The black stone with a colourful sprinkles is an iolite sunstone. Bought it from Brad, The Gem Trader. Previously it was set in a stunningly made serpent ring by the talented Alistair Kelsey. However, the ring was just to big on my hand and resembled a class ring, so unfortunately I did not wear it.
Now the stone is set in 18k Rose Gold and I love it! The stone has such an interesting colour play.
 
More pictures, please!

No CS rings obviously, but will add them here anyway since I am also using them as ‘in between’ bands with my new CS rings, as well as wearing them solo. Made from existing 18K RG rings and 1 in Palladium. The young designer who made these specializes in organic shapes.
 
I love your projects
They are gorgeous on you!
 
@Acinom I'm feeling that garnet in particular today. The YG really just makes it sing. I also really appreciate the organic bands. I'm going to have some melee left over when I get a ring reset, and you've given me a great idea for how to use it. Care to recommend the designer?

Thank you!! The designer of the organic bands is Nanini in the Netherlands.
The maxi stackers are by a different designer: Atelier Helsloot.
 
What a fabulous combination. As always you have such a eye
 
HI:

Wow !
What a 2nd life you have given it
Also love that you used a young designer for the stacking rings
Everything goes together so beautifuly
 
Gorgeous, as always! Happy that you were able to set these lovely stones in a way in which they'll be worn.
 
I love every one of your rings @Acinom, I don't know how you do it, but you have a great sense of style and know how to mix rings together!

What size is your finger?

Some pics I made today

I love these two paired together. It looks like the garnet makes the color in the sunstone pop even more. :kiss2:
 
This is really in a league of its own! Absolute style and élan.
Gorgeous.
The quality of the rings plus the way you wear them really adds up to a Statement. It’s like, Elemental or something. I cant quite find the word. But wow.
Beautiful and powerfully stylish!
 
Love your new stack with the recycled stones, it works together beautifully! The settings for the iolite sunstone and garnet are marvelous, the rose gold was a great touch, too :)

Thank you so much for your kind words. I love building a collection that gets a lot of wear. The experience with both the young designer for the organic rings, as well as the designer that is specialised in using unworn jewelry has been such a pleasure.
 
These are my two favourite pictures

Thanks for sharing your favourite pics! I make my photo’s on two iPhone 5’s. My husband and sons claim that the newest iPhones have a much better camera quality, haha.

Thank you!! The beautiful bezel of the Iolite Sunstone ring by Alistair could luckily be saved.

Aww, thank you. What a sweet compliment. These rings were made for my left hand which is a size 5,75 for small rings (and bigger for wider rings and stacks). However the rings spin on my left hand, so I will be wearing these on my right hand which is a size 6 I believe. However, my knuckles are quite large

Yes, the pink tones complement each other quite well. Thank you elle!
