Hi fellow CSers!
I saw so many beautiful stones and projects from other people, thought I'd share mine as well
Happy to hear any thoughts on them, good or bad, I think it'll be a good learning experience as well.
1. Tsavorite+Merelani, WG.
This is my first ring ever. I got the tsavorite first, then when I saw the merelani I just had to have them together in a project. There's a visible inclusion in the merelani, though if you don't squint it's not that obvious because sparkles.
I learned a lesson here not to choose settings where band is thin on the side. Apparently I am fussy about it against my other fingers.

2. Green sapphire and white topaz, WG
It's more blue in daylight and more green inside. Goes a little dark when the light is dim, but I am so in love with the color when it's there.

3. Green sapphire, YG
I'm expecting it tomorrow! Will share in the thread when it's here. It's a simple band with the stone east-west.
I also have a few stones that I have not decided on a setting yet. Recommendations very much welcome and appreciated!
1. Green sapphire
I guess I have a very obvious preference. There's just so many different shades of green that I love, and I think green sapphires are so underrated. Well, good for me price-wise!
This is a vendor picture but 90% accurate, with just a little less saturation IRL.

2. Yellow chrysoberyl
It's around 1ct, labelled as a highlighter. Are highlighters silky? I'm not sure where the neon comes from.

3. Green chrysoberyl
My first post was to ask for setting recommendations for this one so maybe some of you have seen it
It has a window (I think? The cut does not look very shallow but the color is lighter in the middle. Can anyone explain?) but I thought the color was refreshing and I have not seen a lot of chrysoberyls with little yellow. I am not very experienced though.

4. Pink spinel
It's tiny (0.3+ct) but I think it would look cute in a bowtie kind of ring with YG?

That's it! Hope you enjoyed and would love to hear your thoughts & advice. Have a good day!
