My Jewelry By Nicole Setting Collection

[athenaworth]

Since I have three now (and one that I sold because I got the amazing Gene Mahenge), I figured I'd start a little album of them. Again, they're all pretty cheap and I'm really the kind of girl that needs to see a stone in a setting before I decide. And when I do, it's like the planets align (fairly omnipotent of me, but I get like that). So without further ado, I present.

wowsah!!!

what's the size of your spess? So far I don't own any precision cut - now you have got me tempted... is the difference really marked?

btw, what's the size of the spess? really creative setting! love the spinel - still my favourite.

I love the setting with the pink stone! Is this an eBay or etsy vendor? I would be interested in some of the settings. Congrats on all you bling!

Sorry, no, it's a vendor I use in downtown LA. It's kinda cruel of me to do this, but I will give anyone and everyone their info if you'd like. They carry similar ebay settings, though.

Hey Tuffy!! I'd say your stuff is just fine even though it's not precision. I drool over your photos over on the Mahenge thread probably 5x a day.

I don't know how big the spess is (I've completely spaced). I think it was about 2cts? I bought it second hand. it's the only way I've been able to get Gene stones.

Beautiful collection and I wouldn't change a thing. In fact, I'm coveting the setting for your spess! I designed something very similar for my grey diamond heart but have never had it made. I love the way you have different settings and all are lovely.

I haven't heard the word omnipotent for ages and it made me grin!

 

[GemFever]

So lovely! Love the spess design... and the other two, too

 

[JewelFreak]

SO pretty!!! I'd have a hard time deciding which to wear -- would have to put them all on & sashay out the door. My fave is the same as yours -- the spinel, one of the prettiest settings & a lovely stone. Wonderful collection.

[Starzin]

Lovely trio! I particularly like how you've given each stone it's own distinctive home. Wear them in good health and happiness.

 

[athenaworth]

I thought I'd add my old Mahenge ring to this since I got it from the same vendor.

 

[fussykiki]

You have a lovely collection!!

Non precision cutting doesn't bother me one whit if the colour is good and there's no obvious cutting flaws (extinction, off center culet, gaping windows and the like). You did a good job selecting settings for all your stones too.

What a lovely collection! My fave is definitely the mahenge, the stone is gorgeous and the setting is perfect for it!

Yeah, I guess I'm more like that. My tsav has a big window in it. That has always bugged me.

 

[athenaworth]

Thought I'd add to my growing list of JbN settings

 

[minousbijoux]

Wowza!

[innerkitten]

I like them all. Something to go with every outfit.

 

[JewelFreak]

Oh, groan, my eyes are full of sparkles! Athena, how long does it take you to decide what jewelry to wear in the morning? Can I come over and play sometime?

[purplesparklies]

Yum! Like little bites of delicious
candies! I'll take one of each, please!

They are beautifully lined up together. You have a collection many would love to own, with such good colour and settings. Let's see...you seem to be missing the colour blue though.

Funny you should mention that. I was just thimong today how much I'd like a pretty sleepy sapphire.

I'm being a good (or is it bad) PSer by enabling you.

 

[AprilBaby]

Gorgeous!!! Really love the pink one!

 

[Kim Bruun]

Very pretty rings! Native or not, I think the tsav holds its own pretty well in many of the pictures thanks to its gorgeous colour!

 

[minousbijoux]

Athena: I do not see much of a window in that tsav, so you did really well picking the mounting. Really love them all.

What a lovely collection! Do they also have similar-ish settings for earrings and such?
