Oh my o my am I so very excited! :appl:

For your viewing pleasure is my fresh out of the box 10 year anniversary present!
An AMAZING (in my opinion) 3.72 carat medium-light purple Ceylon Spinel measuring 9.7mm. Specially cut as an OEC set in 14k rose gold, which matches my wedding set. The lotus setting with small accent diamonds is the absolute perfect setting for this stone. I am in love!! :love:

I received this ring from JuliaBJewelry on ETSY a very new store only open a few months, but the owner Julia is an absolute gem to work with and so very knowledgeable. Definitely one to keep an eye on as I have a sneaking suspicion that she is going to make a great name for herself. She offered me a money back guarantee (including cost of gem appraisal), worked a payment plan for me, gave me a %5 PS discount, had my ring sized, engraved (free of charge by the way as I was on a tight budget, but not sure that would be the case for every transaction) shipped in record time, and packaged it beautifully.

Without further adieu, the "eye candy"... this was my first time photographing Spinel and it is EXTREMELY difficult! Very hard to capture, but it has a beautiful sparkle and color to it IRL. :bigsmile:

That's a gorgeous piece! I've seen Julia's shop and she has lovely pieces. I especially love the floral-inspired rings, they're gorgeous.

Congratulations, and happy 10th anniversary!

That really is a beautiful combination! The color of that stone is just spectacular and I'm not always a colored stone fan.

Congrats on such a stunning gift! I'd love to see more pictures of that ring - especially outside!!

Glad I could help! :wavey:
I actually made a mistake though, the seller calls the setting a "Tulip" not "Lotus" sorry :oops: No matter what it's called it's perfect, the craftsmanship is phenomenal! :love:

Okay I was able to get some more photos that show the sparkle and color a little better, but still no where near as good as IRL...did I mention how hard Spinel is to photograph!? :lol:

It's rainy where I am today though, so I couldn't go outside, but I sat right in front of the big living room window and used lots of bright natural daylight. :love:

Enjoy! :appl:

I love coming back to this page and looking at this setting!! Its so reminiscent of Sally of Heart of Water - the beautiful prong work and the feminine elegance. You have created a gorgeous ring and I totally enjoy looking at it time and time again!! The spinel has quite the personality as it 'plays' in your different pictures above!!

I just love this ring!!! :appl:

Thank you so much! The little hidden diamonds are my favorite part too :D

Thanks so much for the compliments ladies! I decided I love my new Spinel so much that I'm going to work on getting a matching pendant made :love:
