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

Orange day in the office for me as well.

Ah, orange, so beautiful!

I have a green day today, two emeralds and a chrysoprase.

 

[Burmesedaze]

Blue cabochon day. Matched my blue sapphire cabochon ring with a lapis lazuli bangle and earrings topped with tiny moonstones

 

[Bluegemz]

Acinom, your stack is intriguing. It reminds me of a mobile by Calder. There is so much equilibrium with strong attraction between shapes in motion around each other.

Marriedtiger, beautiful! The heart is a beautiful size and shape, and both rings are lovely together. I want to reach out and hold the heart! It's viscerally attractive to me, like good enough to eat.

Burmesedaze, love the earrings and bangle. It's amazing how strong a small piece of lapis can be! Such a robust blue. Yours really punctuates! Really love the bangle because of the proportions.looks fabulous on you.

Catmom, lovely blues. I imagine that it's a lot of fun to wear so many at once!

Yesterday I was wearing my high karat gold filigree peacock and flower, with spessartite beads. I also bought this silk, embroidered blouse specifically for these jewelry pieces.

I resonate with your thoughts, Bluegemz! The heart is luscious and it glows with light, it was an incredible lucky buy, a pre-loved piece. I really like wearing many pieces in one color, so there's a visual echo-effect. I love your orange-green combo, stylish (and it makes me want to paint).

Bluegemz, that is the perfect outfit and jewellery for traversing the Sahara Desert in style! Or a glamorous photoshoot with the sand dunes behind you.

Today I'll be wearing my Brazilian pink/peach/purple topaz shard ring. It's a little dirty and I need to clean it, but it goes with my new polish! What's strange is that I'm having to force myself to wear other rings because I still only want to wear the star sapphire. I think it's my favorite ring above all the others, besides my sapphire wedding ring. I will also wear the moonstone bracelet, once I get going.

 

[Bluegemz]

Thank you, Burmesedaze! It can't quite describe the style, but it is all about fine details and delicate colors, and has layers of intricacy with an embroidered pattern on top of another pattern. I bought this from a Mongolian seller and he had the most amazing prints on both cotton, silk and cashmere. Aside from the colors, I think the layers of texture are what attracted me. I feel really opulent wearing this!

 

[Bluegemz]

Here's a better picture of the print! Do you all find prints to go with jewelry?

Thank you, Marriedtiger! I'm with you, I think wearing pieces from one color or color range creates a clear statement and also makes more of a totality rather than fragmented, individual pieces.
I love what you said about the blouse! I loved it for that reason too. I was trained as a painter, (though I practice only privately now), and the colors inspire me as well!

 

[Bluegemz]

Alright, this is unconventional, but I went to a market yesterday which sold raw stones. Picked up this fabulous Serpentine and this labradorite pebble. The little white-ish pebble is Siberian river nephrite jade. It's so smooth to hold. Around my office and my home, I love having crystals! I've got a large amethyst cathedral in my bedroom...stuff like that. Anyone else do this?

 

[Acinom]

Today I am wearing my lipstick ring.

What a combination. Looks like the blouse was just made for your jewelry, or vice versa. Love it all and great pairing.

Thank you! It was unexpected to find this match. It's fun when clothes work with the gems/jewelry. I bought a few blouses from the same seller, with different prints and different color schemes, but ended up giving them away to friends who fell in love with them.

Where did you get the topaz! So difficult to find this color. I hardly see it much more a decent size!

 

[Arkteia]

Gorgeous spinel Arkteia!

Today is a blue day for me. Sapphires, my favorite.

Amazing stones, and you have such amazing taste in setting them!

 

[Bluegemz]

Seaglow, the Topaz was set in the ring in Brazil by a jeweler who specialized in handmade settings specifically for the stones. I bought the ring already put together. I love this color too. Would love to find a pendant to go with it someday.

I don't post in CS often, but i visit all the time. Today I'm going to add a picture of my rhodolite bracelet, bought for my 10th anniversary long before I found PS. I hid her and some of her sisters, and found them just a few days ago. I'm so happy to have them again!

Down with a bad bug so I'm keeping it simple. Just this for the day.

 

[minousbijoux]

Love that nurturing green, BD, and hope you feel better soon.

 

[Bluegemz]

KaeKae, that's a lovely garnet bracelet! Thankfully you found it!!! What a heartbreaker it would have been to have lost it!

Burmesedaze, petite and powerful! I hope you feel better soon!

I'm off to Santa Barabara, California for a mini vacation, so I feel like wearing my Big Sur, Californian jade disk with an Edwards Black center and a spess cut by peter Torracca. I've got on my Edward's Black anniversary bangle, from Wyoming, and a Yukon Snow, British Colombian green jade bangle and earrings. The disk has a soul, which seems to capture a piece of the majesty of the California coast, the rough waters and turbulent geological conditions, the mood of the land.
While I'm there, I'm going to see if the other star sapphire is still available at the store, and take more pics.

 

[Seaglow]

Here's my massive treasures....I mean, my side-kick tourmaline ring with the massive treasures of Burmesedaze. Today was gem-hunting day in Yangon with the gracious Burmesedaze.

Thank you! This teacher's aide has been wearing it and the diamond necklace hiding with it ever since. A little over the top for hanging around the house, cleaning. (I take off the bracelet as necessary) but I don't want to NOT wear them now!

Enjoy Santa Barbara, we live about an hour south, such a lovely city!

I would feel the same way! Thanks for the good wishes! Santa Barbara is so beautiful! Just the right size and magic landscape by the sea. It must be lovely where you live too.

Seaglow is being too modest and her other ringed hand was holding her phone for the shot

She has an excellent eye and nose for treasures indeed! Safe travels and see you soon!

Blue on a blue floral dress with a touch of baby pink. I always thought my spinel was a light peach, but it goes light pink in the day in this setting
