Mahenge Spinel CvB Ring is Done!!!

[TheElms]

I can't believe my neon pink Mahenge spinel ring is finished and will be on my hand next week!!!

Thank you so much to MinousBijoux for selling me the amazing spinel!!! I hope you will approve of it in its final home. I feel very honored to have such a fabulous stone.

Thank you to all the PS veterans who chimed in on the setting and then the design. And encouraged me to be patient and put up with me when I was anything but!

Thank you to CvB for designing such a beautiful setting and proposing the perfect modification to my idea to make the ring that much more elegant and sophisticated. I love love love it! (And your excellent glamour shots!!!)

I am beyond excited for the ring to arrive!!! But in the meantime Caysie sent some glamour shots!!! In Caysie's own words the photos don't capture the stone's neon glow and skew a bit more red than real life. (Such are the complaints of a colored stone photographer!)

Wow! It's a beauty!

She sent me a video today with my ring and it happened to have your ring in it too and i thought it looks absolutely fantastic on the hand. It's really great.

You should crop that first pic and make it 400*400 and make it your avatar lol.

[distracts]

It is gorgeous!

 

[Burmesedaze]

Ravishing! What a lovely pop of colour!

 

[minousbijoux]

I am delighted it turned out so beautifully - better than anything I might have done with it! I love everything about that ring and think the proportions are perfect. Those photos are also terrific.

[pinkjewel]

Love it!! Gorgeous stone and ring!!

 

[chatoyancy]

Wow! That's gorgeous!

 

[SparkliesLuver]

Woohoo! Congrats on a stunner of a ring. Well done. Can't wait to see your hand shots (and there had better be a lot!)

Aww thank you everyone! I am really so very excited to get it. It was my first purchase from a private seller and having a setting made custom for me, which was nerve wracking for me personally (even though it should not have been) so I am over the moon about the outcome. I guess what I am saying to the new folks reading this is do your homework, but once you've done that, go for it!

Loving your new avatar.
Do you know when you'll get it?

Loving your new avatar.

The avatar was Niel's idea -- she did it too!
And in terms of timing, the ring is supposed to ship early this week so hopefully I'll have it by Thursday or Friday!

 

[indigoblue]

It's beautiful. Now maybe she'll finish my project.

 

[bianka]

Beautiful and well deserved! Congratulations. Can't wait for the hand shots.

 

[TheElms]

It's beautiful. Now maybe she'll finish my project.

She just finished two projects for PS folks that I know of, so hopefully you are next in the queue. Fingers crossed for you! And come back and show us pictures! What are you having made?

 

[Catmom]

It's beautiful! I love the setting and can't wait to see some hand shots.

 

[Arkteia]

Amazing! It was not large, I am shocked (in a good way) that the stone is so incredibly saturated. Out of this world, unbelievable...

Congratulations on your amazing stone, and amazing ring.

 

[deco1]

Wow! I could feel my draw dropping as I started to look at the pictures. The design is beautiful and sets off that glorious color. Wear it in good health.

 

[IslandBB]

Wow that's absolutely stunning! Congrats! Suddenly I have the urge for something hot pink!!

I'm going to have to look up your previous planning threads--I just bought my first stone from a private seller (also a spinel), and will be having a setting custom made, too!

Your ring turned out just GORGEOUS. Congrats! I'm excited to see hand pics
