Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Aww thank you D&T, MrsM, distracts and artdecolover for your sweet posts!!!
I am still in the phase of getting to know the Paraiba The color differs depending on the light and the glow is really fun and weird. Prior to PS I had not even heard about the Paraiba, let alone seeing one with my own eyes.

What I also learned is that it's really difficult to buy colored stone online because it's all about the color. And the true color is really hard to grasp on a photo! In this case I am more then thrilled I took the plunge. And the stone is more beautiful then I could imagine. I love all the 'perfect imperfections' like I appreciate (human) nature.

Thanks again ladies!!!

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Your ring is absolutely spectacular! I'm not sure I'd be safe wearing it - I'm sure it would be hard to take my eyes off of that blue-green beauty long enough to do everyday things - like driving, for instance. Congratulations, and wear it in good health!

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Aww, a big thank you to all the recent posters

NKOTB: wow! This means a lot to me since you own such stunning rings with colored stones

Scarlet1 and Pregcurious: I am still so amazed by the glow myself. And I love wearing a colored stone. I am currently in a coloured stone frenzie with 3 projects coming up

Thank you for your kind words hmlr, Sparkleme and VirginiaZee

VRBeauty: I indeed need to be careful when I am riding on my bike. Also, people must be wondering why I am staring at my hand in a rather silly way

Me too Rosebloom! It's great to have a little after-party. Especially since people in my environment do not notice or do not care

You are so sweet Chumleygirl . I love love love your CvB ring to the max. It's pretty amazing.

Pixgirl: we are actually double ring sisters in a way: we were already tapered french cut sisters and now Leon and antique frenchies sides sisters

I took these today:

Drool!

I might have missed it, but could you tell us the face up dimensions of the Paraiba, and your finger size? I am trying to understand what size gems look good on specific finger sizes.

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

OMG, how did I miss this? Completely heaven! I'm so jealous, Acinom, my whole computer just turned bright green! Wow! I can imagine how much of a thrill you get wearing that. My dream ring!!! Congratulations for being so smart as to find that stone! Perry is a magician, I think.

Drool!

Hi Pregcurious The dimensions are: - 8.32 X 6.99 x 4.70 mm. On the smaller side compared to my 5 ct OEC, but I love this size on my finger. The ring is sized at US 5.5.

Thanks for drooling

You are very kind JewelFreak. I am very grateful to Perry indeed. It's not perfect, but I love it all the more because of the imperfections. It's such a pleasure and fun wearing this ring.

this ring JUST FLATTERS your skin color, your finger.. I love it love love love it.. congrats! you have awesome taste ma'am.

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

So glad this thread got bumped! I love both your rings and now have serious renewed gem fever.
Do you ever get strangers coming up to you to ask about that gorgeous Paraiba? I know I would not be able to resist commenting if I saw someone wearing a beauty like that!

 

[Acinom]

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Tekate you are such a kind person. Thank you for your sweet words
I must say that I owe this ring to PS. I am getting highly inspired here

Jimianne I know exactly what the symptoms are of gem fever. It's highly addictive
And to be honest: it's not very 'Dutch' to comment on other people's jewelry. I do catch people staring. And when a stranger occassionaly says something, it's mostly a sales assistent in a fashion shop or a local jeweler.

Re: Paraiba sea glow and french cut waves - my Leon Mege rin

Wow, this ring is spectacular
Knock down absolutely gorgeous.
The electric blue is exceptional as is LM's craftsmanship.

One of my favorite rings on SMTB !!!!

Wear it in good health.
