Definitely my three stone paraiba. It was years in the making and it’s both my hubby’s and my favorite ring.
I just can’t find that glow anywhere else.

It's not one of my bigger stones, but I'd have to say my "first love" 1.05 ct. Jubilee in Tacori platinum. It was the first nice diamond I ever owned, so I'll never part with it! Unfortunately, I don't have a good photo of it.

This is a question? ::) I know 3 stone rings in general, and mine in particular, probably aren't everyone's cup of tea. But my ACA beauty is thoroughly to my taste and I'd have a dozen different three stones in all different sizes, metals and gems if I could! In the meantime, tho, I'll settle for this beauty.

Three-stone rings are the BEST and yours is gorgeous! All my rings would be three-stone rings if I didn't consciously try to create some diversity in my collection, lol. It's my first thought for everything because I love them so much.

@distracts, what a beautiful blue and love how you have it stacked there, it's like the perfect blue for a blue sapphire.

Thanks - it's actually got quite a big dose of gray compared to the "ideal" blue but I like it more... apparently blues don't look right to me unless they're a little gray! I just love the color in every light, even in low lighting where it is a lot darker.

I love a chubby pear @Alex T! I also really like how cohesive your band and e-ring look together.

Another beautiful three stone @AprilBaby, love the finger coverage on three and five stone rings!

@missy your Cartier black opal is just iconic and irreplaceable as well as sentimental since it was your mom's, lucky you it's a gorgeous piece!

@Starfacet LOVE Tacori, their settings are so elegant and beautiful and I haven't seen too many jubilees, definitely special.

@distracts, I am so bad at color, to me it looks like a perfect blue, I guess gray bothers some more than others but that just gives us more stones to play with!

@GliderPoss, have you shared this moonstone ring on PS before? I don't recall ever seeing it but wow it is stunning, very soft and ethereal.

Okay, I know I haven't even had this ring a week but I'm picking my lavender spinel because I'm not sure I could find this color again especially years down the road.

It was between this and my OEC but I think I could find another, maybe not at the price I paid though.

@canuk-gal, I admire someone who can get their ring collection down to just a few special treasures and I admire even more someone with a Cartier piece among those treasures!

@Bron357, I remember seeing that amazing Opal on IG, it really is a work of art in jewelry.

My Opal ring.
As much as I love my engagement ring, the ring could always be recreated when finances improved, but the opal ring is a one off. C5880E22-7966-4D03-847B-CDA3EEF7559C.jpeg

Yes. Yes. And amazing.

That's beautiful @LisaRN what is the size on theain diamond? I'm so used to seeing your spinels, I admit I expected you to post a spinel!

@missy It’s gorgeous but you would have to have Greg sneak Bubbalah in his pocket!

Haha thank you Joanne and if we are sneaking other bling in I would also have to sneak my great grandmother's ring along. If I can get it from my mom that is...

Cannot find any photos but this one of my great grandmother's ring. Love the setting.

Thank you @StephanieLynn! I couldn't agree more. It means so much to me because (for me) it represents true unconditional long lasting love. So not only a gorgeous piece but it represents the best of love on many levels IMO.
And just because my black opal looks different in different environments here she is again this time hanging out with my Leibish pink diamond rose gold band. I like mixing metals.

OK I cannot leave Bubbalah out now can I?

Thank you @StephanieLynn ! Many moons ago my pear was in a thin band with diamond shoulders, but it fell out of the setting twice. So my local jeweller made this new more solid, sturdy setting & copied the dimensions of my wedding band exactly, but making it 2.5mm instead of 3 like my wedder. And they are perfect together, so much so I often wear my eternity on the RH so they can just be together.

@Daisys and Diamonds, it really is such a hard question, I've been thinking about this for days and still hadn't come up with the one I would keep! One ring to me is like what one food will you eat for the rest of your life, I love food almost as much as rings so that would be ;(

@junebug17, beautiful ring, the band goes so well with your e-ring and love that polish color too!
