Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
Yes, the color is a metallic one and the silver tones are part of that smoky/metallic line. It goes to neutral then brassy before I can get in again, which is pretty frequently because I have a lot of grey hairs and I can't stand to see them.
Can anyone give me a tip on how to post photos from my iphone that are not huge? Thanks.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
Thanks apacherose! The bezels are done really well and how I wanted for this look. Yes, handmade imperfections in this case are acceptable.
I wore this set the other day when it was cloudy and the hackmanite turned super purple...so cool. Love the hex earrings on you and with that hair color too!!! So much fun! I am having a hard time dealing with all the grays that I am seeing sprout all over my head...I need to figure out what I want to do too, but unfortunately my job does not allow unnatural hair colors. I could do temp color for my days off, I guess.
Userangl28212003, more beautiful pics of your ruby ring.
Lilmosun, I hope you get some stackers made b/c I would love to see what you have in mind for your set. They will be gorgeous, of course.

Do you ever try doing it at home. When I have pastel hair would but purple hair color, mix it with conditioner to dilute, and sit in it for a half hour or so every week. Did the trick. As I know otherwise its gone in a split second.apacherose|1446689321|3945873 said:

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
First timer here. Looking at buying a sapphire for an engagement ring and wondering about dimensions and carat weight for a ceylon sapphire I'm looking at.
It's a cushion mixed cut with dimensions of 4.5 x 4.9 x 3.2mm. My concern is the report claims 1.35cts and from everything else I've looked at that seems really high. Is that carat weight possible with a stone of that size? We really like the stone, but want to make sure it is legitimate.
Thanks

Welcome to PS
! This thread is designed for people to show or talk about new pieces, so I think you'd get more help with your question if you started a new thread here on CS. That way people will see it and hopefully the experts can weigh in

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us
I got a new stone! yay me!
2.9 carat/8.2x6.3 blue zircon from Dana. Can I just say how much I love Dana and Rachelle? I love them. I really feel like I got a great stone for my money and I'm super happy. It has so much life and sparkle that I have trouble putting it away. It is hard for me to get a good photo (hats off to you guys who seem to manage it) and I haven't seen it at its best yet (the sun today was a little too direct/bright I think), but in addition to the website pictures (where I think they did get it at its best) Rachelle sent me a bunch of hand shots, showing several stones compared to each other in not-super flattering light, and putting it all together I chose this one:
That is Dana's picture and I suspect they had nice bright but diffuse lighting that day, I can't seem to capture it without some dark spots. My pictures below:
In the office
This morning, pretty bright sunny morning but inside my car.
Eventually it will be going in a family pendant, I want to surround it with golden or brownish/champagne topaz, and four rubies, so it represents our little family (zircon is my son's birthstone, topaz is mine, and ruby is dad's). I will probably need help with that but will start a thread when it's time (which may not be for a while, LOL). I love that being here has helped me figure out how to find things that will make me happy even on a limited budget. Thank you PS!

Thank you, NKOTB! That means a lot coming from you. I was hoping you'd chime in because I wanted to ask if it'd be alright if I used your emerald ring as inspiration (for that stone). I'd change some things, so it wouldn't be a total copy, but I wanted to ask your permission. I'll email Elle about it too, if you're okay with it.

WOW, SL those are some amazing stones! Loving how saturated they are. I'm excited to see what you decide to do with them
DJ I always am so tempted by Dana's zircons because they are beautiful and priced so fairly. That stone is no exception and looks great!

I don't know about that; I'm not sure my collection is quite up to that standard! Featured Topics
