Hmmmmm? Gee, I wonder??? Spinels perhaps???

LOL. Too easy, huh?
Two of them are a matched pair. The other is slightly larger. I still don''t know what to do with them.

 

[chrono]

My first Richard Homer concave cut stone!

 

[chrono]

A different angle.

 

[redfaerythinker]

Blue Zircon?

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Blue zircon?
Edit: Haha, you beat me to it by a second!

P.S. I recognize the amethyst carving from gemline, very cool

 

[T L]

I vote blue zircon as well.

Three winners: RFT, MTG and TL!
It''s a 3 ct square cushion blue zircon cut by Richard Homer. I''ve seen other concave cuts but his is the finest. It has a different quality to it.

I like it if it''s free!

This is one of my earlier purchases so the quality and colour isn''t as fine but I think the shape/outline is very unique. One of these days, I''ll set it with my other pear shaped concave aqua in a pendant.

 

[T L]

pink tourmaline?

pink tourmaline?

BINGO!
At the rate everyone is going, I''ll run out of stones to post tomorrow.

 

[chrono]

A new colour palette; a matching pair of rounds.

 

[T L]

Orange spessartite garnets. I''m guessing all of them because I want to see more!

Right again.

You sure are funny, TL.

 

[chrono]

This ring is very old; it was passed down from my late great grandmother. It originally contained a colour change sapphire but it was damaged beyond repair, so I replaced it with this stone. It''s a very rich 22kt gold.

 

[T L]

Garnet? Very pretty ring, and I''m sure it''s priceless to you.

 

[chrono]

This picture shows the detail on the shank. This was handmade so there are some unevenness here and there but to think it''s all done by hand! I wonder how long it took...

No, not a garnet. Thanks, yes, the ring means a lot to me. At first I could not decide what I wanted in there. I looked around for a tsavorite then decided green isn''t really suited with yellow metals. It was harder too because I was constrained by the setting size.

Yes, I heemed and hawed about it for the longest time then when they finally went on sale, I jumped.

I figured with the setting and all, it''s good price compared to if I hunted down moonstones myself and then set them. I was so happy that the quality of moonstones are so fine. I get compliments every time I wear them.

Righty! I guess my being a fan of red spinels make this an easy guess. That''s my AJS stone.

 

[chrono]

This might be a head scratcher because the colour isn't right in the picture. My camera could not catch any details nor capture the true colour.
