Elle's Gemstone Adventures

How are you enjoying your white diamond? Are you wearing it?

I love it, of course. To be honest though, I wear it on my right hand more often than my left. My CS rings demand attention!

As a matter of fact, here's what I'm wearing today.

Uhm Elle, isn’t it about time for an updated photo-shoot with all your rings and stones?

 

[Stone Hunter]

Super COOL shot of those needles! Thanks for sharing it!

You are a saucy minx! It may have to wait until the weather turns. It's awfully cold outside and that's the best place to take my pics.

Wow! It’s gorgeous!

I ordered this purple-pink sapphire from Yvonne. The color can go from a purple blue to a purple pink depending on the lighting. I really think rose gold would showcase the color best but I have a preloved setting that this fits into perfectly so I am probably going to do that for now (maybe it calls for a reset in the future).

Details:
Weight: 1.16ct
Dimensions: 6.6 x 3.93
Origin: Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
Portuguese cut

I popped the sapphire into the setting for these pics. Check out those missing prongs.

Indoors by a window:


Under my kitchen lights (really brings out more of the pink tones).


These are all outside:

Elle, you have the most gorgeous gemstone collection! This sapphire is purplicious!
And it fits so well into your preloved setting. Beautiful.

Love the stone
Love the setting
Your collection is amazing. You have acquired such beautiful and saturated stones.
Don’t forget about the group pic @elle_71125

Beautiful sapphire and the setting is perfect for it. Please post plenty of pics when you have your iris colored beauty tucked into her new setting.

Thank you Missy! It's nice to find something that will actually fit into that setting. It's been a process.

Thank you. I certainly won't forget about that group pic. I'm just waiting for the weather to turn a bit (another snow storm coming today).

Iris colored. That's a perfect description. Thank you (because I'm terrible at coming up with color descriptors). I'll be sure to post pics once it's set into its new home.

Oh... that is such a stunning setting, and fits your sapphire perfectly! Enjoy it!!

P.s.: it reminds me, I should set my peachy-pink garnet!

Indeed you should. You don't want to end up with a box full of orphan gemstones just waiting for someone to love them.

I took a couple more pics of my purple sapphire ring today. She’s definitely shifty. Sometimes more pink comes out and sometimes more purple.

If you’re wanting rubelite tourmaline, I have, oh, a few hundred.....
Seriously, free but shipping from Australia will be about $10.
Some are bigger cushion shape, others are smaller rounds plus ovals.

Good heavens, that is a lot of tourmalines! Beautiful collection, I must say <3

 

[ringo865]

Omg @Bron357 ! Are these from that auction or have you had these?

The cushions look like little cupcakes

I’m going to join @leukolenos in saying Holy Cannoli! That is impressive.

Thank you for your extremely generous offer but I do have one now. Gene was kind enough to cut me one.

Some of you might be able to guess what I am thinking but for those of you who are in the dark my only thoughts at this very moment is


Rubeliterrific and Tourmalinalicious!!!!!

Let me join the Chorus...Holy Cannoli!!!! Every time I see your hoard I want to fly to Australia and drag you to a few more estate sales. It's absolutely incredible! Wonderful! There aren't enough words to describe my feelings...
Australia is on my bucket list. I lived in Melbourne as a teenager and would dearly love to go back. My husband is a cruel man and says: "Why can't you just look at Google Earth?" LOL

I had my Jeff White purple garnet set into a setting from Aurosi Jewelers on Etsy.

It’s down pouring today so all my pics are from inside my bathroom.

Ooooooh how pretty!!!! I love the profile details especially!

Wow. That purple is rich and glorious. I haven't yet gone back through the thread for the specs but don't need 'em. Anything from JW is bound to be spectacular. The profile is beautiful. You have the hands to carry off a tall setting. It's those nice long fingers...and the freckles...

That is gorgeous! I am going to have to check out the Etsy site. I really like your setting. Is the garnet from Mozambique?

I probably should have posted the stats right?!
It’s 2.28ct and 7.72mm. It was part of a new find in Mozambique a couple years ago. Similar to the garnets owned by @Acinom and @NKOTB .

It is a tall setting (though it looks even taller in my close up pics). I must be very careful not to whack it on anything. On the other hand, those details! I forgot I had freckles on my hand until you brought them up. How sad is that?

@chatoyancy yes, it’s from that newer Mozambique find. You can see more of those in the purple garnet thread, if you haven’t already seen it.

@Cockatiel thank you. That’s what drew me to the ring in the first place. So many lovely details.
