On a CS setting roll

[CSpan]

Like my many magpie friends I have an expanding collection of stones that i couldn't resist and really needed to set.
And being the sharpest tool, I decided to do this when gold was at an all time high. But I'm getting things out of gem jars and on to my paws, right?
At least I can honestly tell DH that no it isn't new I have had it for years

I'll post here as they come in.

I have a connection to Oregon so I picked up an Oregon Sunstone in 2022. I even had the design I wanted, i lost a ring in this setting and have been wanting to replace it. David Klass and team set it for me.

So much Schiller.

There is literally no reason I hadn't sent that away the moment I got it. But no, let it sit til gold is like 4x what it was.

Chef's kiss on the timing.

I justified it since the stone was under $200.

Can't you just set your stones in platinum?

I am going in that direction for a few. See great minds. I have a sapphire that I want in yellow gold so ...

First off, the ring is magnificent. Sunstone is so underrated and you have a beautiful one.

Second, we must be related as our instincts are so similar. My motto when it comes to buying mutual funds and such is "Buy high, sell low!"

If i hadn't outsourced that to an advisor that would so be me.

I love it!

I’m thinking about setting some stones in silver and embracing the oxidizatiin! Metal prices are killing me.

Funny that. I lent a dear friend a ring that I had made ages ago, early collecting days. When I told her she could keep it (she has been wearing it for a few months) my husband and hers shot me a look. I told them it was silver so not very expensive..she totally thought it was white gold. I forgot how great silver can look.

I have a dark blue sapphire and I'm thinking of setting it with some deep purple sapphires as side stones in silver and oxidizing it for a dark and moody look. I think oxidized silver in particular is cool and it seems stylish these days!

That would be fabulous.
