Re:

blue topaz...the one on the bottom I have actually worn in my ring guards and it looks smashing!

You are a serious collector of different gemstones rings. You have an interesting selection.

Re:

This is my natural pink sapphire and diamond ring that DH gave to me on our wedding day.  It is an antique plat setting with about 1.5 carats of diamonds.  The setting originally held a 4 carat yellow diamond.  I'll bet it was gorgeous with the diamond!!!!

It is an amazing ring

Blue topaz peridot 14k gold ring

Love the stone but setting not me.

Glorious - that stone is amazing! Details?

WOW!

I agree it is such a WOW!

 

[Glorious]

Thank you Alice. I love the stone but the setting is not me. I prefer simple ones like your beautiful ring, or like this current favourite of mine. Maybe I ought to start a new thread to get ideas on how to reset that pear.

I know most here wouldn't recommend morganite for everyday wear but I thought I'd add my new e-ring to the mix here anyway.

7mm princess cut morganite, 1/4 ctw g-h vs diamond melée, 14k rose gold. I also got the matching band but I can't wear that one quite yet

So pretty.

Oh man, it'll be hard to follow that last one

I've been lurking on this forum for quite a long time now, and the insight I've gained has been invaluable. I thought I should de-lurk long enough to show the results. My fiance and I recently created my engagement ring together, and although its a lot more modest than a lot of the ones on here, we're delighted how its turned out. It's perfectly my style and although finding the right stone took a lot of trial and error, it was worth it in the end. It has been difficult getting access to good coloured stones in Australia (well, the ones we don't dig out of the ground here ourselves anyway).

My ring is a 1.68ct untreated Nigerian medium dark-green/blue tourmaline, with 2 x 0.22 ct princess cut diamonds flanking it. The bezel and stone setting is platinum, but the shank is palladium to make it a little lighter.

I wanted a rich 'peacock' colour, and I love how the green never disappears no matter the light source.

Gorgeous! That is totally my style too. As a fellow Aussie - where did you get the stone from?

I gave a bit more detail about it in this thread here: [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/ld-frekechild-and-other-blue-and-blue-green-gem-lovers.185779/page-3']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/ld-frekechild-and-other-blue-and-blue-green-gem-lovers.185779/page-3[/URL] but long story short is my jeweller found it for me.

I actually had a couple of them hunting on my behalf and basically said whoever finds the right stone first will get the commission to build the ring around it! I have no doubt that I paid more for the end result than I would have if I'd sourced the stone myself (particularly when looking at PS standards of what is deemed overpriced ), but my time is both scarce and precious to me and the eventual result was under budget anyway. And I love it, which is the main thing.

I ended up going with Creations in Canberra (http://www.creationsjewellers.com.au/ although their website appears to be borked at the moment) and Ben, their designer, was fantastic to work with.

Next challenge is finding a wedding ring that works with it...

It's been a few months and I haven't posted this yet, so here it is

This is the engagement ring I got my fiance. It's a 2.19ct orangey pink Spinel from TGT in an ERD setting with .58cttw of VS G-H diamonds.

1st pic is indoors and 2nd is in the sun (both from an iPhone). I'd just like to note that the orange spot in the center isn't a window. The stone is deep, I think the dimensions were 8.2x6.6x6.1, so it's just orange; no windows here

Very pretty! I like the split shank too.

[minousbijoux]

I agree with Laurie - very pretty ring. Congrats on your engagement.

 

[minousbijoux]

Stylistically, they are quite different. I'm sure many of us would be happy to help you, but this thread is for showing off your colored stone jewelry. You may want to start your own thread where we will be glad to mull ideas with you and provide feedback since this thread is not the place for it.

My emerald halo..not sure of stats

 

[Kikimeister]

My Rubellite Tourmaline e-ring in a halo setting. It shows mainly magenta/fuchsia pink to red.







1 month until I get married, woohoo!

 

[wordie89]

Kiki, such a pretty rubellite!!! Wear it in health and happiness.

 

[InToTheMystic]

My emerald eternity half-band arrived!

The stones aren't perfectly matched, but they're untreated (except oiling) and beautifully green and it feels great on the finger.

 

[sweet_pea]

Here's my new pink sapphire bracelet!

 

[sweet_pea]

Since I was taking some pictures of my new pink sapphire, I thought I would go ahead and take some pictures of some of my other gemstone jewelry. The pictures aren't good quality so I apologize for that.


Oval tanzanite earrings


Pear shape aquamarine ring with diamond side stones




Oval aquamarine with white sapphire side stones. Even though this aquamarine is of paler color I still love the ring.

It's been brought to my attention that I've been remiss in posting my colorful treasures, so I thought I'd pop in with some pics of a few!

First up: my new Art Deco sapphire baby ring, pictured with the band I got for my one-year anniversary. They go together pretty well!

 

[Circe]

My paraiba, tourmaline, alexandrite ring, which was a gift from my folks when I got my Ph.D. Loads of sentimental value, but oh man, I cannot wait to reset these stones. It's not their fault, but all I can see when I look at the ring is "Turtle!" I'm thinking a 5-stone band in rich yellow gold with the oval paraibas, probably bezeled ... haven't decided what to do with the rest.

 

[Circe]

And another gift from my folks ... that I'm sorry to say I can't wait to reset. It's an uncut yellow diamond, two carats and change, and I cannot for the life of me think why it was set in platinum and not a rich yellow gold. Also ... though I can be very butch at times, this is a little too macho/utilitarian even for me. I'm thinking rich yellow gold with a tight, Ritani-esque halo of faceted yellow diamonds, maybe ...

 

[Tdot1971]

Just wanted to share the beautiful commitment ring that my wonderful boyfriend/life partner of over 5 years gave to me last week (we have decided not to formally marry).

The ring was designed by Kim Drosdick from Flux & Form (http://fluxandform.ca/) or (http://kimdrosdick.com/) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She is an amazing designer and we could not be happier with the finished product. Kim took us through the entire design process and the finished product exceeded our expectations. I will attempt to include a picture or two (taken with an iPhone - not that great). The stone specs are as follows:

Centre stone - VVS1 Fancy Light Yellow (.73ct) GIA rated
Side stones - VS1 to VS2, E-F Colour (0.98ct)

The ring is 1.71ct total weight in diamonds, finished in 14kt white gold (palladium). Man does it ever SPARKLE!

Enjoy!

Wow, just wow! How did I miss this before?!! Circe, tell me more - stats and details please - the middle stone is the Paraiba and all the surrounding stones are alex? Eeegad, Woman, I'll take it even if it looks like a turtle - suddenly turtles are my new favorite!
