I haven't taken my own pictures yet, so for now David's will do.A big thanks to Elle (of The Gemstone Project) for yet again helping me with the proportions and gallery. I love this ring!

Thank you so, so much apacherose, Vesper and katharath. Per your request, apacherose, I took a quick break from work and went outside. haha

Thank you very much, jbkhere and minou. It took awhile to find the right stone, but it was worth the wait! And David executed everything well, including the dainty look yet sturdy construction.

Seriously gorgeous, sparklies. I really love love love your ring. I knew it was going to look fantastic on the hand- it looks great on, nice job.
I want one, too. I have been wanting something like this since someone (shoot the name escapes me) posted an antique emerald pear from that Miami antiques show- anyway- yours is sublime. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, apacherose; you're too kind! You're more than welcome to make the same ring or something similar. I love wearing it because it's super light, very comfortable, low (in height on the finger), and I can wear it two ways. An antique emerald pear sounds lovely as-is! I'm sure we'd all love to help you create something when you're ready. Thanks again!

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
Another stunning project SparkliesLuver! I would love to hear more details about the stone and how you found it...the saturation and color The setting is perfect for the stone and your middle finger. I've been looking for rings for my non-ring finger lately and would love to see more designs from others.

SparkliesLuver that color pink is lovely and rare in spinel. Very nice indeed. I love that you chose white gold/diamonds to accentuate the color of your beautiful spinel.

Thank you so much, Arcadian, lilmosun and Lisa. I didn't post about it on the forum because I knew it'd take awhile, plus there really isn't that much to it. I looked for the stone for awhile, lilmosun. I even contacted some vendors to see if I could commission something, but either no one wanted to or they didn't have any rough with the color I wanted. On a whim I reached out to Nattalie (Prima Gems) and she got back to me with an option. I liked it but I didn't love it, so I asked what else she had that might work. She came back with a handful of options and that's when I spotted this little guy. He was perfect! All the rings I do are right hand rings, lilmosun. haha Maybe you should start a thread? I have one more unique design that I have to bring to life - which I may have just found the stones for (it's been a long time coming too) - and then I need to finish setting my loose stones. I'm happy you love the combination too, Lisa!

Thank you, Acinom and Sungura! I'm not always up to something, but I can't fault you for thinking that. 
I appreciate your kind words. It makes me happy you say that, Sungura, because the proportions on this one were really important to me and I wanted to get them right.

Oooooh!! I love it. What a beautiful ring. Such a great find and the ring looks stunning on you. Did you buy it als a complete ring or did you purchase the stone and setting separately.

Vesper, I love your new addition! The black diamond reminds me of a piano key, all shiny and pure black. And the setting works so well with what you were going for. Well done!

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
I love the additions I am seeing on this thread!
to all!!!
SparkliesLuver, I love your newest ring...so beautiful...just the right proportions.
Vesper, your black diamond ring is awesome! I needed something black in my collection too, as I will reveal shortly.
Puppyguts, loved seeing your new stones.
OTL, gorgeous stones as usual.
Makingthegrade, beautiful new rings from Sally!
Sorry, for the late replies about my tenebrescent scapolite, but I do not have immediate plans to set it and am unsure how it should be set. I love the tenebrescenct aspect of it for sure. I have been wearing my tenebrescent hackmanite cab rings, since they are set, and definitely enjoy seeing the change occurring from those stones.
Ok, so here is my latest purchase, a black spinel from Uli of osirisgems. It came wrapped in an origami like triangle...very cool. It is his siebenstern cut. I actually have two that are about this size...approx. 10 mm. One is cut like a typical faceted gem and the other is cut with a cab like pavilion so it would sit lower in case I didn't like how high it sits as a ring stone.
