For me, it's probably my Loliondo spessartite ring. It's very modest by PS standards, about 2.5 carats (a cushion a little less than 8mm square), set as a solitaire in rose gold. But it's precision cut, glows like an ember on my finger, and nobody in my circles has ever seen anything like it.

And quite right too! I would be tugging that beauty off your finger for a closer look & a try on! The rich gold is a perfect compliment.

For me it's my Tiffany & my Amethyst. I wear the sparkle bomb everyday & don't wear the amethyst often, but it always, always has someone comment on it when I do.

For me, it’s this David Klass double Dutch rose light yellow cut diamond in a French cut Ruby bezel. The style and the cut is so funky, I think folks notice it as they have not seen anything like it before.

For me it’s my three stone, it’s actually the only ring of mine that has gotten any attention.

I only get comments when I wear large pieces of jewelry.
Everytime I wear these two pendants, someone will ask about them. IMG_20220906_161928840_2.jpg

My three stone ring for sure but also my three stone pendant. These ACAs always seem to speak for themselves and I love them so - lol!9288B9FE-31B9-4E66-AC6E-41806B53689D.jpeg

My stacks, as they're the only jewelry I tend to wear. People like the colors and they respond to a glowing spinel. They think sapphire/ruby and I get to talk about spinel for a minute. Agatha the 'boros is always a big hit when she's noticed!

My pearls get the most smiles and compliments. My diamonds get the most side-eye. :lol:
 
If I wore all of these the same amount, they'd get about equal attention. But since there's one I wear the most, the one getting the most attention, by far, is....

Beloved:

900465

Second place goes to Joy:

907124

And my Southern Cross locket, which I haven't had all that long, gets more attention than I ever anticipated - normally comments along the lines of "I've never seen anything like that before!":

905044

My golden SS pearl and diamond drops:

858545

And lastly - my cluster set - probably because of their enormous wattage - almost 9ctw of colorless, super ideal cuts!

I completely understand why!
 
HI:

I really don't get compliments. I haven't worn my emerald cross for ages, but that did garner some attention. Oh and my old radiant ER--I suspect bc of it's size. My Cartier sapphire ring has had it's fair share of comments, but mostly to say it "looks like Lady Di's " ring.

cheers--Sharon

HI:

Come to think of it, my 24K bead necklace always gets compliments.

cheers--Sharon
 
Honestly my unmentionable on this section of forum gets more notice than my mined diamond flashy halo. Although once in awhile people tell me they see me coming with it (mined halo) on. But with the unmentionable I think people see the blue and are curious because they don’t know sapphires come in colours other than dark blue. So they want to know what mine is. Then I get to share about my lab sapphire and tell them mined sapphires come in this colour too if they prefer those.

Spouse tells me that she gets way more comments and compliments on her decades-old 1-ct (G/SI1/very-non-ideal) RBC solitaire in a plain-vanilla 18K WG knife-edge than on her nicer colored-stone rings. People love sparkle, I guess. Or maybe we just have terrible taste :cool2:.
 
It's really funny, but the two things that get the most compliments are 1) a coloured stone bracelet of mine (lots of small coloured stones) and 2) an Indian temple jewelry gold ring. Both of these are not particularly expensive but they are unique and funky, so I guess that's what people gravitate towards!

Would love to see pictures!
