Show me your small but “mighty”colored gemstone rings

[Luvallgems]

The green stone was sold to me as a tsavorite garnet by a local jeweler going out of business.....gemstone vendor at Scott’s Antique Market told me dermatoid. Any ideas?
The sapphire is a itty bitty Kashmir cushion.. when I purchased the ring the date 1915 was engraved inside the shank,
when I received it the date had been polished out !!!!!!

Your rings are so pretty!

Here is my lavender sapphire ring.

 

[arkieb1]

Colourwise it could be either, your sapphire is stunning!!!

 

[sapphiremomma]

Definitely my itty bitty 3 stone with emerald and hyaunites. It just glows! And all three of the stones in my pendant are small, but together they pack a punch. Even the teeny 3.5mm purple garnet.

@Luvallgems yes, your colored gemstones are small but mighty. Sorry about them polishing off the 1915. That must suck! That green could be either demantoid or tsavorite garnet. It's not in the color so much as how the gem scintillates, especially under direct sunlight. Demantoid has fire and will sparkle more.

By the way, here is a pair of earrings that are not mine (I wish I had my ears pierced sometimes!)
...but DF prefers I not do it because it would mean more bling spending

Anyway, small but mighty tsavorite and apatite in Yvonne Raley's shop on Etsy. They're only 2mm each.

YR things are so beautiful and unusual. My green stone, T or D does
sparkle/glow..... happy whatever it is!

Awesome idea for a thread since much of my jewelry collection qualifies as small but mighty. The earrings and stacking ring feature vivid red-pink spinels from CRD.

When I first bought this ring (off LT), I wasn't sure if I would really be happy with such a small stone. It's a 5mm zircon. But I love this ring and wear it often! The little zircon definetly qualifies as small but mighty!

 

[voce]

Ok, if we're calling 5mm small, then here are a couple of mine . With 4x3 sidestones.

 

[LittleRed]

I’m loving all these small but mighties! They can hold so much personality in their little packages and look so easy to wear.

My two "baby blue" rings

@mochiko42 I still think your sapphire and paraiba octagon ring is one of the loveliest featured in Yvonne's catalog for her custom rings!

 

[FlashyFlamingo]

I’m a bit of a size queen, so I don’t have much in the small but mighty category in my jewelry box. This might qualify, it sure feels small when I wear it! 1ct sapphire ring bought second hand off LT.

I have always admired that sapphire and paraiba ring! Dibs if you ever decide to part with it!!!!

The halo makes it look larger, but this is an 80 point tsavorite on my fat pinky. Who says small stones don’t sparkle?!!

 

[JPie]

Both are antique.

Sapphire Victorian conversion ring with rose cuts set in silver


Georgian pink topaz with old cut diamonds (looks like Peruzzi)

 

[stracci2000]

A Burmese ruby, a sapphire of questionable origin, and a Muzo emerald.

 

[icy_jade]

Since I’ve big man hands I always wanted a big and in your face red gem before I fell in love with a petite 1.2ct unheated ruby from Mozambique (ok it still has a HUGE halo haha).

First it should be seen with my other bigger gems...


Yup, I’m usually not a small gem person but even with the bigger gems it still has presence.

And here it is...


And I’m now convinced that small but mighty works! Still unsure if I can do without a huge halo but hey it’s a good start.

(Back to obsessing over blue sapphires again...)

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

this thread is so pretty, ive finally joined up just so i can like all your mighty little pretties

I have had these earrings “favorited” for so long! Keep spending money elsewhere as I’m not much of an earring person right now but they are sooooooo pretty!

 

[Hivona]

Currently, my only small ring. From Yvonne, it is rose gold & demantoids!

Love that ring, the size of the spinel is perfect so far as I am concerned!
