Oh yes the juxtaposition is starkAll just stunningly beautiful
To think where you started with your pear cut & the iterations it went through, to where you are now is mind blowing!
Which?Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I especially love the sapphire.
Both, but the one with fancy shape even moreWhich?
Baw. Thanks!What a really lovely collection! And I have to say that Grace remains my most favorite ring of all time anywhere and diamond of all time anywhere.
@Niel -
I'm only just seeing your update. Delicious! Can you tell me about that green gem ring? It's a worthy addition! And your brown diamond cluster...well, of course, BEAUTIFUL!
Any progress on the earrings idea? And - what have you been wearing for earrings in the meantime?
Thank you for sharing - it's a treat!
The green is. 3.3ct tourmaline. She doesn’t get a lot of love here because her setting isn’t particularly exciting but the cut is great and the color is beautiful- particularly at night or in like crappy house lighting. It’s interesting the see becuase that is when most of my other stones aren’t as attractive but she pops.
I have my eye on something with a pair of marquise in it- I want to use those for studs. I don’t wear any earrings currently but as I barely leave my house anymore it’s not the end of the world.
You're going to put marquises in earrings?? You never fail to surprise and intrigue; your designs are delicious. I'll look forward to seeing where you go with this.
And I love green tourmalines. Incredibly underrated gems with a sublime range of colors. I have a gorgeous emerald cut green tourm. in one of my pins. The color is luscious. So I hear you on yours popping at night.
Beautiful collection, @Niel.
@Niel, your collection has me floored. The sapphire moval is my personal favourite. I'm sure there's a long line of PSers wanting to buy it if you decide to part with it (consider me in that line!)
You may have other threads detailing your new pieces, but can you tell me a bit about the marquise ruby (?) and sapphire collet settings from your DP?
