Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum, and this is my first post! I stumbled across this forum as I was doing research on diamonds for my latest purchases. Just thought I’d join in and share as well.

Here’s my 1.01 pear Ceylon padparascha sapphire set in rose gold on a half-eternity pave band. It’s one of my favourite pieces!

David Klass reset my sapphire halo. Lowered the whole basket, so the ring sits very low now. Same stones as my old one. Got to love a new dress!

I love how the sapphire is nearly flush with the halo stones! Lovely new dress

Better iPhone camera gets much better color accuracy.

So many lovelies! I am always enthralled by the pieces/collections of others. Here’s a few I already had pics of, although they’re not necessarily the best shots. The yellow sapphire and the ruby are actually an engagement ring and anniversary gift, the citrines were vibrant gifts.

 

[jewelryj]

I should add that I interchangeably use the sapphire as an engagement ring too. The citrines were a bonus pic that I hope you don’t mind the addition of. I had the pics grouped together and got off on a colored stone tangent!

Gorgeous!

Fwiw, I don’t know how to ‘love’ something, which is why I hit ‘like’ when I did, not that I wasn’t more enthusiastic about the pieces!

Emerald 3 stone with diamond halo. 14k yellow gold

This is how the two bands fit into the setting. The bands have ~2.7ct total with the stones in that are F in color, VS in quality. The designers idea is the ring is a vine holding a “flower”. The bands are the leafs to the vine.

this is SO COOL! LOVE the solitaire AND the bands...and your emerald

My 2.8c? sapphire engagement ring. I wanted a silvery blue stone which this mostly is, although it shifts to a subtle purple silver/gray indoors. The side stones are blue Montana sapphires, grey rose cut diamonds, light lavender spinel, diamonds, and darker blue sapphire. My husband calls it my gem salad. It was my first time designing jewelry and I had so much fun (and learned a lot) sourcing the stones for it.

Okay its months and months later but YOWZA Neptune! That is a gorgeous alternative to diamond engagement ring (Ithat was thread?) Such a beautiful green ❣

Lordy!!! How big is that spinel???? That color...the setting....the cutting...and the SIZE. How do yo not bump into things as you're walking around? I would be staring at my finger all day long!
