What are you wearing today?! Show me your CS!

[Rare gem lover]

I opened my jewelry box this morning and realized that I don't recall every wearing this out so I took a picture of her first outing.

It looks like a spinel! Can we get a face up shot?

Here is my new-to-me 14K white gold ballerina ring. It was a pre-owned ring and I had replaced some of the stones with demantoid garnet melee and a pink/purple sapphire center which were sourced from Yvonne Raley on Etsy. I just love how sparkly this ring is!

I love what you did with it! Love the colors together.

I wish it were a spinel so I wouldn't be as worried abour wearing it alas, it's"just" a tourmaline (on the flip side affordable lol).

Excuse my swollen fingers, the humidity has been brutal!

Littledebbie81 - I LOVE what you did with the ballerina setting - gives your traditional setting an updated custom CS look.

I love the yello gold with this! Yes the humidity is a seriously problem for me too. In singapore my finger size is one whole size higher than what it is in India. My husband thinks it just means I got fat.. grrrr

Good choice! Refreshing to see color.

The demantoids are stealing the show from the diamonds.

I'm having Yvonne Raley make me a sunflower ring with sphene and demantoid. I can't wait to see that high dispersion effect!

Peridot on a sunny day!

That’s super brilliant!

Peridot? Are you sure?? Lol, it looks yellow, not the usual green. Beautiful!

Definately a peridot but it shifts a bright yellow green on sunny days.

 

[lilmosun]

I love that your peridot does that! May I ask where you purchased it? Reminds me of my chrysoberyl.

Today, I wore my most recent preloved conversion. Originally I bought this with the intent of replacing all of the stones but Yvonne suggested just replacing the center stone with a pink sapphire which gave it the perfect pop of color I wanted.

@lilmosun I LOVE IT! Did you buy the ring on ebay or similar and then sent to yvonne for changing the stone?

That’s really pretty @lilmosun ! Turned out great!

Just for fun, here’s my dream spess ring.

@Bluegemz I love the flow of this ring! I can't quite figure out where the second set of prongs, on the round end, are coming from. Do you have more photos?

This is another photo from this jeweler’s site with a different, smaller spess pictured. These are all her own, hand made, self created designs. She’s a true artist jeweler. I highly recommend her, but she can be pricey. Usually very heavy metal and D diamonds, and a great eye for colored stones. Let me know if you want more info.

 

[lovedogs]

I love this even more now that I've seen another view. The swoop-y designs get me every time

Me too! It’s got flow but is also very strong, clear and structured, so it’s a great balance between them and a great overall presence. Ugh, some of her things just kill me!

Hehe boring old diamond left hand



Zircon on the right


I found a piece of dust on the zirco ring this morning and almost had a meltdown thinking it was a chip. Fortunately it was only dust as the pink bandit was cleaning behind the cupboards.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@lilmosun I got the peridot from Jeff Davies

Your flower ring is divine!!!!!

I can’t tell you how much I love this ring. Oh wait, yes I can...it’s freaking stunning!!!
I love the combo of the purple sapphire and the demantoids. It all goes together so beautifully. You must love wearing this ring!

I think I saw this on her page. It was just the perfect pop of colors and I was thinking about how I wish I could have come up with something like that. Please tell it’s yours and then share lots of pics.

I’m wearing my tsavorite ring and my mint ring today. I was feeling the greens.

I do!! It's amazing how much punch those little demantoids can give! The ring is esp crazy sparkly in the sunlight.

OMG!!!!!!! SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

Are you wearing green clothes too?

Do you try and match your ears as well? Ears are so problematic for me! Should be easy but not really!

There was time before coloured stones where I lived in nice little diamond hoops.

Thank you.
Nope. I’m wearing a black dresss with different colored flowers on it (but it does have some green). I wore my green demantoid/tsav/mint necklace from Yvonne because it matched my green vibes. Almost all my earrings are cheap costume jewelry. I can’t see my ears unless I’m looking in the mirror, so I don’t spend money on them when I can admire a ring on my hand instead.

ETA. There was a magical time, before I found PS, when I was happy to wear the same ring every day and never thought about CS gems. Ah, how things change.

Yes, it was probably mine. Yvonne created the listing yesterday and I paid for it yesterday. I loved how it turned out. It's in the mail now, but for other PSers here is a pic Yvonne took.

I will put up a new thread for my green sunflower after I receive her and take some photos.

Yay, I love seeing your pretty greens!

Haha, all my precious gemstones are in rings. My pendants are plain gold, haven't gotten any CS yet. I do want to be able to admire my gemstones on my hand. Yvonne has some awesome pairs in her store, but when I look through them I don't imagine them as earrings, but as side stones for rings.

 

[Bluegemz]

Gorgeous, @voce! That turned out amazing. I just love the happy spirit of it.

Every single time!!

ETA. Yes, that was the ring I saw. I can’t wait to see your pics.
