Teal spinel ring is done!

[alene]

It’s finished and should be here tomorrow! Pictures from DK before I can take my own. The spinel is from Gary at Finewater Gems. I can’t wait to get it!

 

[LittleRed]

Wow! I love that color and the setting is fantastic! I bet you’re super eager to see it in person.

 

[strawrose]

Ooooo I look forward to your hand shots!

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

Love that color!! Lucky gal!

The time you spent going over proportions was clearly worthwhile because this turned out absolutely perfectly. Gorgeous spinel. Gorgeous setting. Just plain gorgeous!!!

It came out beautifully. Do you have an original thread on the stone? I don’t remember.

 

[alene]

Thanks so much for the complements, @LittleRed, @strawrose, @CHRISTY-DANIELLE, @elle_71125, and @TL! I’m really pleased with how it came out.

@elle_71125, obsessing over the proportions was definitely worth it - the sides are exactly the size I was hoping for!

TL - it was a while ago, but here’s the thread on the spinel:

I think I finally figureed out how to do a multiquote reply!

Thanks TL! I’m impressed that you remembered, it took me a long time to get aro7nd to setting it!

Thank you! I think the color is better in person too. I hope it didn’t get much darker set.

Thanks! Took a few tweak, but we did get there!

It's lovely! Your setting is exquisite! How did you come up with the design? I can't stop looking at it!

MrsKMB, thanks! Here’s the inspiration ring that I used as a starting point for this.

Absolutely gorgeous! That setting is so well designed!

Thanks, Hivona!

Oh that is beautiful!!! I can't wait to see shots of it on your hand!!

 

[EC8]

Beautiful ring; I like your rendition even more than the inspiration, especially the prongs placement and style!

 

[missy]

Gorgeous. That color and that setting is just beautiful @alene

 

[alene]

Thank you for your kind words, @MeowMeow, @EC8, and @missy!

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to Fedex today, so one more day of waiting to have it it in my hands.

 

[MeowMeow]

@alene booo!!! I'm sorry hopefully you can grab it tommorow!

 

[alene]

It’s here and it’s beautiful! But it is so moody. I took a million pictures and it seems to shift color even in the same lighting depending on the angle. Diffuse natural light seems the best. The only issue is that it’s just a tiny bit smaller than my other ring from DK the same size, which means it’s a bit tight on my right hand. I think it’s going to have to be an alternative ering. Please excuse the dry hands, I had to snap the photos quickly before my husband put it away until our anniversary next month.

Gorgeous

 

[alene]

A couple more

 

[strawrose]
