Peaches and Honey: My 2.56 Peachy Gray Diamond Three-Stone : )

[chiquitapet]

Oh PR, what a lovely ring. When I saw the pictures in your post on CS, I wondered how on earth I missed the thread, but I guess I only missed it yesterday, so I don't feel so bad.

It's turned out beautifully. Your comments about rose gold drowning out the delicate colour is so telling. As you know I've been working on my tourmaline project for a little while now - may post an update tomorrow. I've looked at loads of pictures of delicate pink stones in pink gold and I think everyone left me with the impression that rose gold just drowned out the delicate pink stones.

I'm so happy to finally see a pink/peachy stone in yellow gold. Can you please take some more pictures in bright, no-sun daylight to try and capture the colour of the stone up against the colour of the yellow gold without any fire/glare/glow. Difficult I know, because it's so sparkly and shiny.

I really think your project has turned out stunningly.

Gailey, thank you so much for the kind words. Honestly, I was hesitant to post pics of the ring because heart shaped diamonds and yellow gold are not very popular on this forum. Also, there''s been such a craze about rose gold lately that I wasn''t sure how my color choices would be received. But your post gave me so much reassurance, because now I know that I am not alone. Having a "unique" taste makes me feel like a mutant against the sea of popular white metal settings and white, square shaped stones.

Mochi''s Yellow Chrysoberyl in Green Gold excited me to no end, because YG is so often overlooked as a metal. I was never a big fan of YG myself, in fact, most of my pieces are in white metal. But now, I have a new appreciation for this yellow underdog. It has this ability to enhance the yellow/pink colors in stones without overpowering them. Also, it does not HOG attention from the stones. It can be subtle in 14K or it can look really rich in 18K.

Gailey, would this tourmaline happen to be the peachy asscher that you posted on the Peachy Thread?
I can totally see this beauty in Green or Yellow Gold!

What kind of setting style do you have in mind?

I will try to take some diffused outside pics for you later on today so you can see the contrast of stone and metal.

I''m so happy that I''m able to help others who are on the fence between metal choices!

Thank you so much, Kaleigh!!!

That means a lot, considering you have such exquisite taste, and your ring was my inspiration.

Too bad it's not an ICY WHITE DIAMOND!

ETA: Chiquitapet, Holly, Catmom and Holly, thank you!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Wow, that is just amazing!!!!!!!

 

[April20]

Love the color combination. I turned out beautifully. Congrats.

 

[dani13]

Love it!!! The color of that stone is to die for!!! Congratulations and enjoy your new ring!!!!

 

[Maisie]

I''m so glad you posted your beautiful ring. I also love yellow gold! Your ring is beautiful! Enjoy wearing it!!

 

[Linda W]

OMG PR!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your ring.

, it is downright gorgeous. I can''t find the right words. I''ll just say it is booooooootiful!!! It looks lovely on your hand too. That center diamond is to die for.


Linda

 

[Rose-E]

I love love love the peachy color of your cleft less heart and those pears are the pearfect compliments!!! The ring design and metal color is also to die for, what a perfect end to a long project. You must be so ecstatic and proud!

(Kaleigh's ring has also secretly been my inspiration ring too!!!!)

 

[LD]

PL what a stunning ring!

Call me silly but I wouldn''t call that peachy/grey. It''s much more pink with a hint of silver/platinum.

I adore the colour combo and ESPECIALLY the yellow gold. I''m so pleased you didn''t go for rose gold it would have completely taken over. You''ve got a subtle, well put together, gorgeous ring. Very many congratulations.

Yep, that''s the stone. I''m more or less decided on a halo. I''ve more or less decided on Ocean Pearlman/Wink to do the job. I thought I had the whole mélee thing decided until I read Rubycharm''s thread this week, now I have a whole bunch of questions.

I''ll start a thread and ask for some feedback as soon as I''ve gotten all my pictures and ideas straight.

Meanwhile, here''s the picture that sold me on yellow gold for the bezel:

 

[Fly Girl]

Lovely, lovely ring PR! You gotta love those colored diamonds! Wonderful choice for a setting.

 

[Futurmrss]

Perfect combo!!!! The sides really accentuate the color of "peachy" in the center. Perfect!!!!

 

[platinumrock]

These next pics are for you, Gailey! These were taken under natural sunlight earlier this afternoon, but with less glare.

Hope you''ll be able to see the contrast between the YG and stones.

Lauren, April, Dani and Maisie, thank you!!!

Linda, thank you my dear! You have great taste in jewelry, especially your gorgeous pads, so that means a lot to me.

Rose-E, thank you so much! At first, I wasn't sure if peachy toned and yellowish/champagny/orangy stones go together, but I'm so glad it worked out! You have some beautiful pieces, and your pics are amazing!

LD, thank you!! The diamond is graded Peachy Gray and you can see some gray in real life. I guess she's just photogenic. The gray modifier is such a cost-saver, and it actually has the ability to pick up surrounding colors! But I won't object to pink.

I am so glad I went with yellow gold...it is subtle, yet complements the stones so well!

Some food for thought...I know you're in a quandary about your metal choice for your chameleon.

I love the way it looks in YG though!

FlyGirl and FutureMrss, thank you!!

ETA: Gailey, that pic of the pink pear is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!! I love it with the YG Bezel! So subtle, yet so rich!

Fabulous

I know I said this before, but that is so grogeous!

Gosh, looking at that ring makes me want some candy. It''s yummy!!

Thank you, StephensBride! I''m glad I''m not the only one that sees food with bling.

Is that your daughter on your avatar? She''s beautiful!

yes, that is my daughter and thank you for the compliment.

Your ring has the most delicious colors I''ve ever seen, but I do have to admit that it doesn''t take much to make me think about candy. LoL

Love it!
