Elle's Gemstone Adventures

[elle_71125]

Hopefully I can take some pics outside tomorrow. I’d love to see how it looks out there.

 

[elle_71125]

I took some pics outside. It’s still overcast and a tad drizzly but good enough for me to get these pics (which are ten times better than my bathroom pics and show off the garnet much better).

ETA: don’t mind the hair / fuz across the gem. That was totally invisible until I loaded these pics up. Maybe I should get my eyes checked.

 

[Gemobsessed]

It’s perfect ! Congratulations Elle! Such an intense gem in a perfect home

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

That Color!!! Yum!!!

Stunning elle! Hi by the way, I always think of you as my pariaba buddy

The pariaba has given us a bond no one can break...

Ok I'll stop now, I'm being weird.

 

[Deathspi]

Wow, your ring is stunning! Love that colour!
I checked out the Etsy shop you mentioned, and they have some beautiful mounts, so thank you for the mention!

 

[Burmesedaze]

I love that pop of juicy, rich purple! Another winner in your collection!

 

[Acinom]

What a gorgeous pop of colour! You have made great choices for the stone and setting.

 

[elle_71125]

It’s perfect ! Congratulations Elle! Such an intense gem in a perfect home

Thank you! The color definitely varies in different lighting (going from a dark purple to a fantastic magenta).

That Color!!! Yum!!!

Thank you!

I'm loving your weirdness! A bond forged from the intensely glowy paraiba shall never be broken!
In all seriousness, I call you guys my "sparkle friends." Sure, people look at me all weird in real life but how else should I describe you guys?!

I love that pop of juicy, rich purple! Another winner in your collection!

Thank you! That's something coming from someone with a collection like yours.

What a gorgeous pop of colour! You have made great choices for the stone and setting.

Thank you! I'm loving wearing it already.

Exquisite You have the most amazbling colored stone collection @elle_71125 . Congratulations on another masterpiece. LOVE.

Hi @Bron357,
Is there a way to get in touch with you via email as I wanted to talk to you about the stones you are offering. Thanks in advance.

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.

 

[Acinom]

Gorgeous elle!!! What kind of center stone is it? Both the stone and the ring are stunning. DK did a great job with your ring.

 

[chatoyancy]

Beautiful Elle! I always forget how lovely green stones look with white metal. Is that a tourmaline?

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Greeeeeen and seriously gorgeous Elle!!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the halo!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Wow Elle! I love how elegant and beautiful your new ring is. I cannot wait to see hand pics. How exciting!

 

[elle_71125]

Thank you for all the kind words @mrs-b, @missy, @Acinom, @chatoyancy, @mellowyellowgirl, and @LisaRN

Here’s the link to the thread for my new ring. All the details are there.

[ShinyPink]

Just wanted to add another "WOW!"

 

[Burmesedaze]

Love how complementary the shank and halo are!

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

The DK setting is gorgeous! Compliments on your exquisite taste!

A while back, @Acinom asked for some family shots of my rings. I gave that a shot today and let me tell you, it’s a lot more difficult than I had expected. Actually, it was a real b*tch. Anyway, out of the million pics I took, here are some not crazy blurry ones (which accounts for most of them).

This one came out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Well, right up until I dismantled the set up and realized I had forgotten my orange spess ring. It’s not the right size (or setting) so I keep it in a different spot from my other rings. Such is life. Still a great pic.


Here’s some more pics with the spess ring included.


And the obligatory hand shots.




So, what do you think? Too many rings?

Heck no, Elle, there is no such thing as too many rings I love your collection of rings, they are just stunning! The assortment of colors is just delicious

 

[Acinom]

Gorgeous family pics elle!!! Thanks for posting these. I always enjoy seeing your pics as I love your taste for saturated stones and feminine and elegant settings.

 

[apacherose]

These are amaze-balls!

Thanks for doing a family shot! Your eye is so good- all your gems are so glowy and delicious!

Does the Yvonne three stone have a thread? I must go looking through your threads. I love that ring and want one similar- wondering if it is her standard sizes or if she made you pay the cad fee.

And what is on your thumb- an indicolite? Must read the thread, lol, but couldn’t wait to comment on these amazing photos

Never too many. The other hand is still available for more group shots!

Gorgeous sparkling rainbow! This is so inspiring to someone like me who is just starting out as an enthusiast in colored gems.

Who is doing your settings, besides David Klass and Yvonne Raley?
