Just wanted to share this with you all. Couldn't resist. Vivid pink spinels and vivid yellow diamonds make the perfect contrast! Inken outdid herself this time.
Happy Friday and happy long weekend, everyone!

Magnificent. Your color sense is unmatched, as always.

That bangle!!! What a gorgeous piece. I love the texture of the “wood” and the gems are so bright and happy looking. This really is a fabulous addition to your collection.

Absolutely fabulous piece, love the color combination! Congratulations

It's a design masterpiece! I love the wood texture, the balanced asymmetry, and the colour switch in the flowers.

Well this ensemble is just TDF, @voce! Such a creative design and top tier gems. Then, of course, Inken executed it beautifully!!

Beautiful pieces, works of art!!

Wow, I really love this! Both flowers are stunning: the colors are so vivid. And the flow is so fluid, light, and whimscal; it looks as if the branches are flying and dancing!

Amazing creation! Congratulations and enjoy!

It’s gorgeous @voce !
I love the design, the texture of the bangle and the color combination. The ring and bracelet are both outstanding!

Picked up this bangle (ends open, slightly adjustable) just before a shopping trip at Costco. It was quite distracting, to say the least...

I'm hoping to pick up the ring from my safe deposit box this weekend to take pictures of both ring and bangle.

So lovely ! It's like spring on your arm; I bet you feel like a fairy!

It was too hard to do justice to both pieces in the same photograph, so I decided to photograph them together sitting on a cushion. These will be the last photos I post of this suite, as I'm now going to put them away for safekeeping until winter. The prunus mume is a flower that blooms winter to spring, after all.

Maybe I'm nuts; I think of this as your "signature" style. I love it!

OK @voce, I gotta ask: Is this you or is it unabashed copyright infringement?

That's not me, it's Yvonne Raley's design, and it's not copyright infringement. Cecile Raley Designs is where I started my custom jewelry projects, but Yvonne has been doing colorful designs with small melee sizes long before me. Only 1/3 to 1/4 of my rings are fully custom from the CAD or carving stage, and as many in my ring collection are using Yvonne's settings in a semi-custom project, where my only input is the gems I choose and the gold to cast it in. The only differentiator, I think, between my aesthetic and Yvonne's is the colors each of us prefers. You will not see nearly as much pink in my rings. If you see similarities and it's a question of who inspired who, it's probably Yvonne's designs inspiring my own more often than the other way around.

I was just teasing about the "copyright" -- just beautiful work that reminded me of you!
