I know this is a thread for jewelry but I’m really enjoying our foray into furbaby town. I love all these little tiny faces. Those are some seriously cute babies you have there.

You should start your own thread, voceLeslie, I loved your paraiba and demantoid eternity, and I've already started a 5 stone eternity with 3 demantoid and 2 paraiba, but that one will be in white gold.
One of these days I will stop being lazy and start a thread to post my jewelry projects this year. I am planning at least 12 with Yvonne, and I'm starting to think about setting a "Jedi" spinel with Ivyandrosevintage.
I'm pretty much putting 100% of my disposable income towards hobby projects. My crochet yarn is less than $200. The test of that, I've spent on gems/jewelry.
You should start your own thread, voceI love seeing other people's projects and you have a great eye!
Yvonne suggested alternating the demantoid and paraiba and I'm so glad she did! I would still consider making an all paraiba band in WG with slightly larger stones. Good luck finding a Jedi spinel![]()
Love the emeralds and the hamster too!This warms my heart! That is probably the cutest rat that ive ever seen.
I have a long haired Syrian hamster and I'm in love with her!
Heres her little fuzz butt; Her name is Dove (:

& Ive been so quiet and such a lurker lately, heres what I'm wearing today;
-My custom 14k yellow gold bezel set untreated (Zambian) emerald cabochon ring
- A new purchase handmade in 14k yellow gold from fellow NewMexican "Anat Perez". It has a unoiled 3mm Columbian emerald and two little diamonds. I'm so obsessed with it! She sells this ring for $440.00 (rightly so for the emerald) but I was extremely lucky and found it preloved on ebay for $80.00! The little Emmy has great sparkle and clarity.
It was one of the most synchronistic purchases ever as two years prior I saw Anat and her booth in person at our local renaissance fair and I LOVED her work; all hammered yellow gold like lost ancient relics with yummy little gemstones but alas they were out of reach then pricewise but I never forgot about her work and I always wished that I had remembered her name. So having a piece, is amazing let alone one that I would have chosen my self from her shop. (:

I already have the spinel. I keep the box in my purse so I can look at it at work from time to time, or if I'm waiting at a Costco gas line. The top picture represents what I see most of the time. Sparkly and bright even indoors at night. The bottom picture shows you the inclusions. I was able to buy this at a reasonable price because of that surface-reaching inclusion. However, because it is not at the girdle, I think/hope the inclusion will not be an issue when setting the spinel. Note that the pictures are the vendor pictures; because I'm lazy, I can only muster the will to grab the camera on the weekends.
I follow that vendor on Etsy, she has really nice spinels!Lol, I hope people notice those are the vendor's nails; I'm not good at maintaining mine.
Haha good on you for fessing up! I would totally have claimed those lovely hands and nails as my ownLol, I hope people notice those are the vendor's nails; I'm not good at maintaining mine.
Shhhh... just say it’s yours and pretend your gel manicure is strong enough to last 2 weeks...Lol, I hope people notice those are the vendor's nails; I'm not good at maintaining mine.
Thank you for your kind words. The chrome effect was an experiment to see if it’ll stick to SNS. It’s been good so far.Absolutely gorgeous lusciousness! That color is like deep root/heart blood..and I love your nails. Awesome ‘jewel’ colors together.
