Oh wow! Ooh WOW! What a great thread and such fabulous stones and rings. Thanks Acinom for doing so much work putting a lot of this together, it's very kind of you.

PS is feeling kind of dangerous now...I think I'm on a slippery slope to coloured stone addition...as well as my Diamond one! My family & friends think I'm already a jewellery 'nutter'....but compared to you amazing ladies and your wonderful gems, I really haven't even started

I'm loving all your amazing gemstones :)

Such beautiful rings! I've finally gathered up the courage to post my poor little orphans.

Details? LOL, you asked for it! The orange guy on the left is a pawn shop find. I believe its a zircon, but could be anything... Next, the top emerald was a gift from my mother and I absolutely love it. It's a very thin slice and I often wonder what the color would be if it had some depth. The halo sparkles like a demon.

The bottom emerald is one I bought when I was mad at my husband. I'll show him!! It started as a pendant and ended up as a ring. 5 X 7, no treatment.

The center stone is an amethyst I picked up years ago from a guy in Thailand...The emerald cut green is a chrome tourmaline from John Dyer. Love the cutting but it's too dark and I'm searching for a replacement.

Next is the star of the show. My 2.5 carat unheated sapphire bought years ago from Cherry Picked, with half moon side stones. There are many things I regret about this purchase (my first big colored stone) but all in all, I've had a lot of enjoyment with it.

Last is a spessartite garnet from Richard Wise. Love that color!

You ladies and your wonderful stones have ruined me!! I'm obsessed!

That's a beautiful well-rounded collection Suzanne2! The color of the sapphire caught my eye right away. I take it that your husband learned his lesson you'd have a good excuse for more pieces :lol:

A peek into the jewel box, lol. Here's my family pic of my rings and bracelets. I'm too lazy to do my pins, pendants and earrings, :razz:
Why is it that everything looks awful when I do a family pic?:-o

Those bracelets are to die for! I wonder if there are any vendors who sell settings you can play around with yourself. To tell the truth, I’d love to create a custom one with colour though. The red flower one on the left is so pretty. Bracelets are my downfall!

Thank you! I love bracelets more and more. I have added to the collection since that shot was taken, lol.

Thanks, I can certainly see why you'd be reluctant to part with it.

Did you end up sending it back to Sally to check for the looseness?

LOVELY collection!!

Haha no. Just checked with a local jeweler who said it was fine :)
