Happy St Pat's! Show Us Your Green!

[Dee*Jay]

I'll have to dig my emerald out of the safe later, but for now I know there's some gorgeous green on here! Pictures, pictures, pictures!!!

ETA: I decided it wasn't fair to start a thread like this without at least some pics, even if they're old. More/better/new ones later!

Happy St Patrick's Day! Dull weather here in Ireland, but at least it's not raining. What's your weather like and any parades in your area?

Think I'll wear this low key ensemble for the grocery run later (hopefully streets won't be too busy). All antique except the WB.

Beautiful jewelry but I can’t stop staring at the box and that green velvet inside!

I love your engagement ring & setting

Do you have any details & the year it was made?

My sapphire engagement ring—she’s a little blue, a little green, but I always think of her as more green than blue. Dark green is my favorite color and this stone always makes me so happy. Feat. an old knitting project in the background…

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Fun thread!

 

[Matata]

It's not set yet. I have a dozen ideas going in a dozen directions and no decision on the horizon. Sigh.

 

[marcy]

Fun thread for St. Patrick's Day!

I have more green than I thought.

Top row is emerald necklace
Second row emerald and diamond band and tsavorite garnet / diamond ring
Third row green sapphire diamond accent ring and emerald and diamond ring
Fourth row emerald studs with lab emerald ring in the middle

 

[Inbloom]

Here’s one of ‘em!

 

[Redwoods-hiker-girl]

My little family. I'm wearing the top ring right now.

 

[Austina]

Not a great photo, but my Zambian emeralds.

 

[elizat]

Emerald band and tsav garnet ring. I think that is my only green. I have a mixed stone band with emerald, but also blue. So not including that.

 

[seaurchin]

This peridot won't arrive until next week but I don't want to be left out.

 

[RMOO]

My one and only green, so I wear my emerald band any chance I get.

 

[goldnsilver]

Absolutely loving all the greens!!!

Update: I added my snake bangle to today's mix to irritate Saint Patrick, haha.

Happened to have to stop in Dublin city centre this evening so I snapped this picture on the Liffey River. Alas the green tourmaline is literally just a speck here, but I was quite pleased that I got a shot of jewellery on the Liffey for once. Usually I'm just hurrying by.

Beautiful jewelry but I can’t stop staring at the box and that green velvet inside!

Ahhh thank you! It's a late Victorian/early Edwardian jewellery box made by the luggage company Finnegans, and I'm very very lucky to have two of these from the maker (my other one is burgundy red). The House of Finnegans was founded in 1830 in Britain and they operated in Manchester and London, but the owners were originally from Ireland (as the name would suggest) and were likely descended from Brian Boru, the king of Ireland in the Middle Ages! So I guess it's quite fitting for St. Patrick's Day.

Thank you @Ally T ! I'm delighted that you like it. It's actually not my engagement ring, but I got this last year at an auction in Wales as I was looking for a small diamond solitaire to wear in place of my original ring. It's a bit of a mystery, really, as I can't figure out the hallmarks while usually I know what I'm looking at with British and European antique/vintage pieces. I've been meaning to ask on our antique forum, and will do so as soon as I find the loupe photos that I took. But for now I'm guessing it's late Victorian to early Edwardian, and the gold is 18ct as it's marked as such (which makes me think it's not American as it's "18ct" instead of "18k"). The diamond is an OEC and I need to test the ring head to verify if it's platinum. I'd really like to get it restored a bit and have the stone certed as well, but I've been dragging my feet as I enjoy wearing it too much.

HI:

Wore this today to lunch......

Emerald ring (reset)

HI: My MIL passed away several years ago and left an emerald ring to my DH. He doesn't wear rings other than his wedding band, so the ring sat and sat and sat. He wanted me to enjoy it, so I had it reset. My MIL wore the old ring all the time; it was very well loved. I have some...

no photos as my phone is a problem

i didn't even register that yesterday was St Paddy's day
but we had quite a long day yesterday being out and about so i made an effort before we left

i wore my mall jewler dark olive green saphire, i try to love

i do love its very white diamond side stones
this is not a good pix

also wore my dyed freshwater pearl earrings that had been a gift from my father in law (who was Irish)

Firstly, my new green locket. Green textured enamel over silver with yellow gold detail, and a bezel-set .95 E VS2 AVR.

 

[mrs-b]

And secondly - my peridot and diamond ring was finished by DKJ *today*! So this is fresh off the bench.


2.1ctw in G/H VS diamonds, surrounding a 3.08ct peridot. The photos don't really show the color of the peridot terribly accurately - for some reason it's come up very olive - so here's a refresher of the stone, unset. (It's the big one, second from the right.)



And now the ring!

[lissyflo]

These pieces all look so balanced together. The overall effect is great!
