I agree with TL, it is very feminine

Thank you TL and Linda for your lovely compliments. It''s so nice to have new jewelry. I''m going to try what you do, TL, and go for a walk with my rings now that it''s sunny, so I can enjoy them fully

GAH!!! I love it! I love every detail -- the stone, the organic setting, the matte finish sides, the contrasting bands -- GAH!!!!!

It looks wonderful in Sally''s pillbox! Nicely done

Thank you Lauren and Chrono

So do I. It had a little tilt window at some angles that is gone now that it''s bezeled, and the pink looks just a tad more saturated. I love it.

Speaking of pillbox, I don''t mean to hijack, but Sapphire Lover recently had a pillbox pendant made that turned out gorgeous (hope she doesn''t mind me sharing, I''m totally in love with it!)

I KNOW, I got a bit carried away. I have three about 5mm spinels in different pinks, an oval, a princess cut and an asscher - The Pink Ladies. They'll make a crazy set of stackers.

Then I have two aquamarines, a big checkerboard and a smaller antique cushion. They'll go into a pendant.

The last is an astonishingly gorgeous mali garnet that I got from multicolour. The mali is in this post. That photo doesn't begin to show its beauty. I fell in love when I saw it. The stone has this shimmer, it looks like sun light seeping through oak leaves a spring morning.
