Let's play a game... rainbow gems.

[Shiny Black Cat]

Citrine , from pocket again

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Peridot waiting to be sized

 

[Shiny Black Cat]

Aqua, recent surprise

 

[lilmosun]

pastel pyrope garnet

Love the color shift from purple to pink...does it count as both?

 

[thirdrock]

Kunzite. I forgot I had this. The turquoise color is my phone reflecting in the stone.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Orange up next

 

[thirdrock]

Orange up next

Red, I think.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Red, I think.

The pink red thing
Them the blue indigo and violet thing really confuses me

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

My cheery amber
Its in peices because i brought it as part of a really ugly reconfigured set
horrible fake gold findings on the braclete, the ugliest drop earings you have ever seen, it also had garnets in the necklace butt ugly

it had been a rope but had been made into two sets

It is going to be fabulous again !

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Ok now orange

 

[Autumn in New England]

@Shiny Black Cat Happy to see our first amber post!

@Kalynna Wow... that's an orange rarity, my friend!!

@Daisys and Diamonds Nothing like a well done 3-stone ring... that topaz is super sweet.

@Atwater You have exceptional taste, lady! Love the Merelani mint.

@PrecisionGem I must say we have some of the nicest riding trails up here, especially in the fall. It's my happy place!

@lilmosun Is that our first CRD ring? Beautimous!!

@thirdrock Yay, our first kunzite! Such a pleasure to see so many different species and varieties of gemstone in this thread!!

You guys are really blowing me away... this turned into such a fun, collaborative effort!!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Yes ORANGE is up next, friends!!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Hey I thought of a slightly unusual orange choice this go-round (though not as exotic as clinohumite!)... spiny oyster shell.

@stracci2000 Are you familiar with Navajo designer Artie Yellowhorse? She's my absolute fave!!



YELLOW is next, my peeps!

 

[icy_jade]

Yellow sapphire

YELLOW is next, my peeps!

Yes, I have seen her work in many galleries!
I love the signature granulated frames in her pieces.
That spiny oyster is blazing!

 

[Atwater]

Green: chrome tourmaline. It is very difficult to photograph. There is no yellow in it but a very slight tint of blue. It reminds me of deep forest green.



Next: blue.

 

[lilmosun]

@lilmosun Is that our first CRD ring? Beautimous!!

thank you but not the first...4 of the rings are CRD (both pink spinel rings, emerald cab and unheated purple tanzi).

I usually do 2-3 projects/year with Yvonne. I love working with her. Here is a picture taken 3 years ago of my CRD rings (more have been added since and I also have some pendants and earrings too.)

I’ve been admiring her work lately. That’s a gorgeous piece!

 

[thirdrock]

Blue…turquoise

 

[Autumn in New England]

@icy_jade Picture perfect yellow sapphire!

@Atwater Our first chrome tourmaline... stunning!!

@lilmosun Oh I know you have many! I just love that it was the first CRD shared to this thread (I believe)!! What a collection!!

@thirdrock Fabulous sleeping beauty turq suite, my friend!

PURPLE is up!!

 

[lilmosun]

lavender jade pendant

 

[Autumn in New England]

Pink tourmaline 2.81ct. (which I intend to set with these paraiba tapered baguettes). @lilmosun Yvonne is going to set these guys!



RED is up!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Blue…turquoise

These are beyond gorgouse
Do you have a neck shot ?

 

[oncrutchesrightnow]

Is that carved carnelian, @oncrutchesrightnow? Nice! P.S. I hope you're off crutches now!!

YELLOW is up!!

I don’t know, thanks, and yes!

 

[ShinyPink]

@Autumn in New England and @elle_71125 The halo is spinel. I love pink and orange together!

Autumn- is Yvonne setting outside stones now?

Every once in a while, you see a piece that really catches your eye and gets your design juices flowing. I've had that happen about a dozen times with this thread so far, lol, but that spess and spinel ring of yours is definitely high on my list!

So I purchased the paraiba bags from Yvonne, and since we were concerned about another jeweler setting them properly (read: carefully!), she kindly agreed to set my pink tourm alongside them. But she's so busy (mostly setting @lilmosun's pieces ) that I don't believe she's accepting work on stones purchased elsewhere. You never know when that may change in the future though!

And that garnet ring is so brilliant!! What a unique setting.

ORANGE is next!

Kunzite. I forgot I had this. The turquoise color is my phone reflecting in the stone.

you forgot you had Kunzite?

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Go orange !
