Goodness knows I have my fair share, but I know he's become really popular around these parts and I want to see what PSers have been keeping him busy with!

I'll post my treasures later, I have to go make dinner...

Is that the stone that you had taken out of that yg setting? I think it looks awesome in its new home!

That's it FC, thanks. It's been so nice to enjoy the stone again.
Treebean, those spinel earrings are to die for! How big are the spinels? I've got some garnet studs I'd love to have Dan do something with.

Dan set my 2 OEC diamonds into solitaires, the 8 prong one is mine, and the 6 prong one was mum's Christmas present. She LOVES it and never takes it off, and to boot it is so beautifully made.

The studs were originally in 4 prong baskets, and Daniel reset them into 8 prongs for me. I no longer have these studs, but the workmanship on them is beautiful!

I'm in the process of upgrading the centre RB diamond in my E-ring, and plan to set it and the OEC from the 8 prong ring into martini studs, they are a surprisingly great match And yup, I daresay I'll be getting Daniel and Caren on the mission :bigsmile:

Texas: I think they are 1.15cts a piece. The color is better in real life, they almost look like pads.

Anyway, here in no particular order:
Chrysoberyl and Silver

My yellow sphene from Daniel and Caren. Notoriously hard to photograph, but the workmanship is great and they didn't hurt the soft sphene.

Here you see my little gold hammered discs with small oval Emerald ~ these are so sparkly!!!
So difficult to take a good picture of them because they capture reflections of their surroundings~ I love them and wear them
several times a week :love:

Here are my rings from DanielM, all in Argentium - these are vendor pics as I have no camera. I also have a set of four Argentium stacking bands (two high polish, two hammered) but no photos.

I am very happy with my DanielM pieces - Daniel and Caren are wonderful to work with - I'm about ready to have them do a 3-stone ring and a milgrained bezel pendant for me.

These are Caren's photos not mine. The project started with a little 8mm sunstone heart that wasn't well liked by the forum. I thought it was charming though and wanted a unique setting for it, based on their U-prong. Caren and Dan were amazing to work with. The shank is brushed argentium silver and the basket is polished rose gold. It's very bright and sparkly.

Edited to add: These were original pics and a couple of adjustments were made afterwards. The tips of the prongs were sharpened slightly to be a little pointier. The sides of the U-prongs were also straightened up a bit. The difference is subtle and I haven't taken any new pics.

So YOU'RE the one with the gorgeous chrysoberyl that I love. I was eyeing that on Daniel's site. No offense, but you should post the vendor photos, they really show how beautiful that stone is. Did you ever start a thread on that ring?

Is there a table shot of this ring? I'd love to see it.

Love all these pretties! Would also love to see examples of his bezel and milgrain work. I'm thinking of having him set my transitional oval, and IIRC, he does great bezel work.

Hey Hi TL : Nope, I never did save the Vendor photo of the Chryso... and I took a TON of pictures of it prior to setting it, too.
Lost everything when my cell phone took a swan dive into my coffee cup. ugh
I really need to start a few threads I guess.
My sons have taught me how to upload and post my iphone pics at least, and it's getting easier.... :???:

Sounds like it will be very beautiful. Be sure to post lots of pics when you get it back. It is a lovely star.

Well I saved it off, that's how much of an impression it made on me, and if I think I know where you got the stone, I was planning on getting it, but you beat me. You're very lucky! ;-) :))

Well here's my baby! :love: My blatent LM rip-off makes me feel a million bucks every time I wear it and I just adore the Bespoke Gem's natural Topaz it holds. Must get my own photos soon - these are Caren's. I definitely have plans for a few more of these rings from Daniel!
