Two new stones arrived tonight!

[Polyhex]

Oh my! It's gorgeous!!

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

That bix bite is such a rarity! So pretty! Do you have other plans for it?

 

[Ionysis]

Actually I do. A bombe ring with a cabochon spess garnet and a mixture of the spess melee and the bixbite.

 

[Ionysis]

So I finally picked up my little blue baby.

Really happy with how it turned out as I don’t have any rings similar to this.

 

[Ionysis]

Soooooo...... having gone back and forth a million times with this damn spinel, I eventually totally scrapped my previous plans, binned the earlier work and started again.

A month down the track and I’m finally done. Am really pleased with how it turned out and now have something I can wear daily instead of a more blingy setting which was my original intention.

My NEXT project though, am adamant, will be a gobstocker cocktail ring of immense colour and pizzaz! Just to make up for it.

Just beautiful! That is seriously my dream spinel and the setting is just lovely!

And with my camera flash on.

Will stick some day light shots in the Sleepy Mahenge thread tomorrow once I get some sun on it.

It is so classic and gorgeous! Do you mind sharing the mm dimensions of your beautiful spinel and your ring size? I have finally found my dream red (though Iwish it were larger), and will be looking for a neon pink next.

The red in your avatar photo is pretty special too!

Yeahbut, look at youuuuurs.
* Thank you, I do love it. I just wish it had some obvious fluorescence. She's a very crystalline girl. I only have one two sleepy spinels, one pad-ish and one tiny baby pink. I would love to add another sleepy to the collection.
