Fabulous CS rings under 2,000 dollar!!

[Acinom]

My vintage chrysoberyl ring from Ruby Lane arrived today!

Beautiful colour. We need more pics!

 

[Niffler75]

@Acinom It's quite shifty and hard to capture the colour. It can be very bright yellow/ golden yellow almost peach/ lighter with chartreuse flashes depending on lighting conditions.

I'll get some more pics tomorrow outside!

 

[Niffler75]

@Acinom Ok here are some pics from outside.




You can see the peachy orange at the corners and there is a slightly greener flash, hard to pick up on my phone.

Really pretty ring and gorgeous stone @Niffler75

Wow! You have a gorgeous ring and set. I like!!!

Thanks everyone! I can recommend Ruby Lane for some really interesting vintage/ antique pieces!

I just got notified by Ivy & Rose that my rings are ready. I sent them a 5mm California spessartite garnet and an 8x6 pink spinel from Burma in the second half of March. Here are the pics they sent over. The spinel was $500, setting $749 including labor, so it's just under at $1249. The spess was $65, and the setting cost $593, so that ring is $658. I will probably get the rings next week, as I had requested to send them to a work address. Here are the hand shots that Ivy and Rose sent me.

Lovely rings and a great deal, price wise! I especially like that setting you used with the spess.

I just completed a ring "project" that came in well under $1250! I have to give a huge thank you to @PreRaphaelite for suggesting I buy the platinum art deco setting on an auction site. I saw the setting, and fell in love! My winning bid: $236. But I didn't want to keep it with the cz it came with, so was hunting for a gemstone. Then I jumped on the 4.35 ct , 8.31mm Jeff White cut Cambodian blue zircon when it listed on LT. $500! I sent my goodies off to DK for new claws and stone setting, $200. Total: $936!

That is the zircon I was going to set into my empty setting!

Ah well! It looks fabulous in its new home and what a beautiful home it is. I love the details!

Thank you! I jumped on that listing as soon as I saw it, sorry I didn't know anyone else was interested. Have you checked with Rioux Rocks on IG? He's got some beautiful zircons! Finewater has some gorgeous ones as well.

Don't apologize! I would have agonized and debated forever. Clearly it was meant to be yours.

@Lilith112 here is that pink spinel in rose gold, next to a rose gold ring from Ivy and Rose I set with a tsav garnet last year.

These were meant to be index finger rings, but eating canned and pickled foods has made my fingers fat.

Pretty, pretty.
Ooh, I have been eyeing that pink spinel setting!
What do you think, it is comfy? Sparkle factor? It looks lovely, they all do actually.

 

[voce]

Comfy, definite yes. I don't know how to quantify the sparkle. Diffused daylight sparkle, fairly subtle, just what I like. Under direct sun or strong light, dazzling.

Here are some closer shots. I especially like how they did the prongs, it's very elegant.

That's what I imagined and am happy to hear from a real world wearer. I mean how often do you get to see the ring you're ogling and there it is. It is my jam- the fluidity, the spread...it really is elegant.
I have a gunmetal gray spinel who would love to snuggle down.
*thank you for more pictures to ogle!

Ohhh the pink spinel ring is lovely! So elegant and delicate looking <3

My jeweler is open for business again, I'm just debating whether or not now's the right time to set my pad considering gold prices currently :/

I think what I'm going to set this year, I'm going to try to set in silver or platinum, unless I find semi-mounts like these. Silver for my cheaper gems, platinum for better ones. Platinum is still relatively low priced last time I checked. It's heavier, but whenever I clean my jewelry, there's relatively less crud that washes off the platinum, so I think it's more easy maintenance.

Ohhh I can't wait to see your future projects! They seem really promising

For the pad, I already have a set vision, and I don't mind waiting since I don't have any other gems to set. I'm just looking to set it some time this year. Fingers crossed it'll be sooner than later!

I just got pictures from one of my jewelers, Daniel M, of the rings he has made for me in silver. Based on my ideas I sent him as sketches, he came up with these, and I can't wait to receive them and wear them!

 

[Niffler75]

@voce I am very interested in using Daniel M to set some of my stones. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love the heart shaped spinel ring. I'm going to call it the "Wings of Love" ring!

Just received today, a reddish pink tourmaline from Barry at ACS, 4.55cts, in a modified tulip setting from JuliaB. The original tulip setting has 4 petals and we changed it to 6 prongs. All in all comes under $1,100. It certainly a cheer up in these extraordinary days, but it also saddens me for Barry's family loss.

Wow love this ring!!! Gorgeous stone and setting. Beautifully made

 

[Niffler75]

@Module Beautiful, the setting really does justice to the stone allowing the light in! Congrats!

That's a beautiful stone! I'm sorry for Barry's loss, but I have never had the fortune to buy from him. This setting was the perfect one for this stone, and you are showcasing Barry's work to perfection.

 

[CSpan]

@Module Love it! Beautiful setting.

@voce that setting is perfect! I was admiring it in the other thread.

I have something come from Yvonne that fits the very low bill



I am having her wait to send it until my mom's necklace is complete.

 

[Burmesedaze]

My little double rounded icy jadeite cabochon set in 18k white gold and diamonds based on a faux antique style I found online and modified slightly

 

[JackTrick]

My first time with an Yvonne ring... I had been pining over it for months, and finally bit the bullet. Resized to fit my larger fingers, and I think it’s a perfect combo of pretty and assertive to match my aesthetic



Also! It fluoresces

I just love it! The design as well as the colors! The fluorescence is really amazing. What are the types of stones?

Congratulations on your new ring,
