Show me your colored gemstone solitaires!

[Kelli]

After seeing some of the recently posted ones around here, I thought it would be nice to see a bunch of them together. I LOVE solitaires, but hardly ever see any with color in real life. Please share your beauties

Great idea! I will be able to add mine hopefully next week, it''s a lavender spinel in a 6prong platinum setting (my old ering setting). It''s being set right now at WF.

I have an aqua solitaire. It was set in my old ER setting. The aqua has a grey modifier but I love it because of the cut. It is very sparkly.

Sweet! I can't wait to see!


Your ring is gorgeous Catmom (as are all of your pretties!) Thanks for posting!

Great thread Kelli!

Catmom, I don''t think I''ve ever seen a ring of yours I don''t like! WOW!

Here are a couple of my cs solitaires. Strangely when I looked I realised that most of my rings have accent stones!

First up, this is a Labradorite - I love the inner glittery bits on this stone and the schiller is better than it looks in the photo!

Catmom I love your aqua! Gorgeous color

Here''s a Moldavite

Great idea Kelli! Love these yummy rings.

My Aqua.

 

[Catmom]

Thanks guys!

As much as I love halos, there''s something gorgeous about a colored stone in a solitaire setting. I love all the ones posted!

Miss Ellen, your ring is not good for my heart, it skips a beat each time I see it. Now I have to go take some more medicine.

My gosh I love that ring Ellen and I will never tire of seeing it. It is quite my all time PS favourite. I must admit I have a tribute ring project in the works right now and no, it''s not my pink tourmaline!

Oh no! Go lay down!!

Thank you miss.

Gailey, now you have me curious! I can''t wait to see what you come up with. And if I seem to be missing it (I don''t come in here every day), holler at me! And thank you very much.

[FrekeChild]

Ellen...Can we have another photo shoot of your aqua? That would be really.really.really.awesome. Period.

 

[Kelli]

Thanks so much for posting everyone! Keep them coming

These are definitely among the beauties I was hoping to see all in one place!

Can I play to even though this ring has teeny tiny micro diamonds on the side? My badly cut and included tourmaline that I love!

 

[T L]

In the dark.

 

[marcy]

Love your rings.

This ring was my first color stone project. The Congo tourmaline was cut by Barry Bridgestock.

Aw, thank you Miss Freke! If you are serious, I think I could "force" myself to shoot a few.

Thanks to you too Miss Coater's!


And I am just LOVING this thread. So many beautiful rings.

fafa, that is a beautiful Aqua. What type of cut is it??
