So...... after being lucky enough to upgrade my pink sapphire I donated my modest one to Lil Sis who is trying to start a collection of her own.

Here it is on her very delicate fingers! She loves it!!!!!

@mellowyellowgirl: It's beautiful! That's so kind of you to donate a ring. Wish I had a sis like you

That’s so pretty! Can you adopt me as a sister too? Serious question: what are those stones in the halo, light blue sapphire?

Hehe they are diamonds! Just the way she took the photo I think makes it look blue/grey.

She's very good to me and is always there when I need her! I struggled heaps when the 5yo was a baby and despite being 8 yrs younger she put her social life on hold to help babysit every weekend so Hubs and I could get some alone time. It was the only thing that kept me sane.

She does so much for us! We call her our magnificent "first born" because in some ways she's like our grown up child!

ETA here is another pic of the ring on my plump fingers!

Ok could I trade my younger sister for yours? I would give you some nice jadeite necklaces in exchange!

Doing nothing but dropping off my son at preschool but wearing my Spess ring since it hasn't gotten out much. Which reminds me I should finally get it sized down to fit my ring finger, it's been years since I bought it!

Gorgeous color and I love that it’s a cushion!

I missed seeing this earlier but I love this spess! It has such depth, I feel like I could gaze at it for hours. Yellow gold makes the perfect settings for it.

That spess is a dream! What a gloriously rich and intense color. It’s like a nugget of the sun. Love the substantial size of it too.

Cushion is my favorite too, and this is Gene's stone so needless to say cut is lovely

I can't take credit for the YG setting, I bought it preset from @MakingTheGrade. To be honest when I bought it years ago I wasn't so sure about it as I never ever wore YG, but I'm finally starting to truly appreciate the beauty of it. It really is perfect for the stone.

Thank you, color really is the perfect orange. Not too yellow, not too red. Even though it's a really good size (9mm I think), I can't help but want to halo it one day because I'm such a sucker for halos

Awww thank you!!!! For some reason I have discovered I love stone beaded necklaces! MUCH more than gold chains! Less itchy too!

@Babyblue033

Aw I’m glad to see you still love it! I realized it was too big for my lifestyle lol. I have a few smaller spesses now in my life.

So beautiful! I love how it looks on you. Do the moonstones go all the way around? And how careful do you have to be with a moonstone bracelet?

Thank you! The stones go all the way around. Here is a picture which I’ve posted before of it ( for the sake of convenience. It’s a pain to take off) . I am careful when I wear it, and don’t wear it too often. ( I’m used to wearing jade bangles which are tough, so I have to be more mindful of slamming my wrists down, that sort of thing.) the good thing about this moonstone bracelet is that it’s quite heavy, and I can feel the weight on my wrist, which helps keep me aware that I’m wearing it. Also, it tends to stay put rather than sliding around, which lessens damage potential. IMO, one has to be careful when wearing moonstones on hands and wrists because they can cleave easily with the right knock. They don’t really chip, but they split. I believe feldspar means easy Or perfect cleavage, or something like that. I imagine it’s a bit like wearing emeralds. Some can wear them everyday for years with no to little damage, and others tend to damage them easily.

Thanks for showing the additional photo. Those moonstones are gorgeous. Convenience vs a tighter fit where the gemstones are not sliding around is an interesting trade off. I'm just getting started as a CS collector, so I'm mainly getting rings made, but eventually I'll come to getting bracelets, as well. Your collection is very inspiring!

That’s great that you’re getting started! What a fun journey! Thanks again for the compliment. I’m sure your collection is and will continue to be gorgeous!

Even the petals on the underside of the moonstones are a work of art *wistful sigh*
