Not anywhere as fabulous as most on this thread, but I'm happy with this moonstone/aqua ring for the price I paid!

Love it! More details!

@elle_71125 thanks!! I posted about it in my thread about ideas for a moonstone, and more pics there too.

Beautiful! More details please!

While searching for a grey spinel for my friend's e-ring I stumbled upon this ring on LT and pounced quite impulsively! I have been so worried it was going to be synthetic because of the lack of grey modifier. I was ringing my hands while I waited for it to arrive. It passed all the tests I could do at home like LWUV, Chelsea filter, and it's even magnetic. Jeweler confirmed today it's natural. I am over the moon, as I have a few loose blue spinels that either black out or have a strong grey or violet modifier, but I've never seen one irl that is such a true blue. It's about 1 size too big so I'll need to have sized, but I haven't wanted to take it off

Woah, what a find for under $1250! I guess the reason I don't find amazing deals on LT is because others always snatch it up before me (better for my wallet this way though) .

Congrats! It's a seriously gorgeous blue, that is mesmerizing and worth staring at!

What a fabulous ring, and what a blue! Do you think it’s a Luc Yen, possibly? What a lucky find on LT!

 

[Bluegemz]

That is stunning! Such an amazing ring.

Beautiful blue spinel, congratulations on the find! You got a smoking deal on it, too

Congratulations, Mrs. Strizzle! That is a great color spinel and it looks wonderful on you! I saw that on LT and really wanted it myself but couldn’t afford it right now. I thought it was a lucky offering. The color really is excellent. Wear it in good health!

 

[Mrs_Strizzle]

Thank you everyone! I love it and feel really lucky to have been able to nab it when I did!

My new mint tourmaline ring! This is a green Congo tourmaline cushion I bought from @raregemlover and had set with my local jeweler in Singapore in 18k white gold. It makes a great everyday ring.

Speaking of @raregemlover, someone should go buy her huge and gorgeous rubellite ring on LT. If only I could rock a 11mm trillion!

I'm delighted to have my new green tourmaline ring to show today! I got the stone from one of our favorite PS'ers over on Loupe Troop. It is a 7 mm tourmaline from Nigeria, cut by Troy of Excess Designs. You can tell how the tourmaline picks up the light from different directions. Sometimes it is a deep emerald green, and sometimes it flashes a brighter green.

I also got the rose gold setting on Loupe Troop from a jewelry designer. This was supposed to be an engagement ring for an emerald cut stone, but the bride preferred a different setting. It is a little delicate and some of the diamonds were already loose, so my jeweler re-tipped the prongs and reinforced the head weld when he set the stone. He was able to use the emerald-shaped head and so my entire cost came in below $1000. My ring size is a 5.

I have been happily married for a long time already, but I chose not to have an engagement ring because I'm a practical girl and we had other financial goals at the time. Obviously I am making up for it now with my rainbow of rings! I just think this is a great example of how you can create a pretty ring that also stays within a budget. I love this thread!

Wow. What a gorgeous tourmaline and a beautiful setting. It looks awesome on you.
I like how delicate that setting looks while still providing some extra sparkle.

I love your new ring, MissyBeaucoup! The color of the tourmaline is divine and the setting is very flattering to your hand

I love your ring, @MissyBeaucoup !
And I equally enjoy the story of how you brought the stone and setting together, giving them new life. Enjoy your beautiful mint green ring in good health!

It came out beautifully! I love the setting with it. Congratulations

But I must correct you this stone was cut by Abraham @ExoticGems.
It was one of his favourites and he didn’t want to let go of it! Even peachchicks mint was cut by him.

Troy cut the blue tourmaline you have in the other threads

@elle_71125 Thank you! A little sparkle makes all the difference!

@leslie1956 I appreciate the compliments! Some of the ladies here could be hand models and I’m rocking my gardening hands. But I do feel it suits me. Thank you.

@voce I was inspired by the many resourceful people here who have really been so creative. It’s a lot of fun to put things together. Thank you for your good wishes!

@Rare gem lover Thank you for having such a great eye for color! I am so happy to give this tourmaline a good home. And thanks for correcting my info on the cutting by Abraham. He did a very nice job and the polish is very fine, maybe better than my photos show. I had originally considered this setting for the indicolite blue one, but I think it’s perfect for the round.

Your green tourmaline is really fresh and brilliant! I love the ring and it was nifty of your jeweler to fit the stone in the emerald setting. You can’t tell at first glance it was meant for an emerald cut! I think you mentioned somewhere else that you like to keep your jewelry habit reined in on a modest budget, I am very much the same. I look forward to your other creations!

A mahenge spinel ring in a bezel setting. It’s a really soft pink with some orange in it, looks almost neon in some moments. I love the pretty minimalistic design, it’s very modern and unlike most of my others!

@Rare gem lover I love your spinel bezel!

Such pretty blue! But what happened to your pinky nail?! Will you trim the others back? It drives me crazy when all of my nails are fairly long & I break one. I feel so lopsided & have to cut them all back
