Last Xmas, I wasn't fruitful in my search for my "something green", but I'm in time for THIS YEAR'S Xmas instead :lol:. These Yvonne Raley Columbian emerald studs in scroll setting really glow! They truly are my Kryptonite because my knees went weak at the sight of their beauty when I first opened the mailed parcel :lol:. I love that they go well with the flower jackets I bought some time ago.

Wow, they are so glowy, bright and sparkly! It's a trifecta that you dream about when it comes to emeralds! They look so beautiful in their jackets.
 
Thank you my dears! Pricescopers are always the best folks to share my love of jewellery and gems with!

@leslie1956: Thank you! Yes, they go wonderfully with the flower jackets. I'm overjoyed!
@apacherose: Thank you! I hope my memory hasn't failed me ... do you also own the flower jackets and have a pair of gorgeous paraiba studs to go with them? They were absolutely stunning! :lickout:
@elle_71125: Thank you! I'm inspired by your pieces with saturated, glowy gems. Will be on the lookout for more of your beautiful pieces too!
@peacechick: Thank you! I was having a challenging time purchasing emeralds last year, as it was difficult to judge their colour and quality without seeing them in person. Decided to snap up these new emeralds from Yvonne and they are perfect!

Thanks, Elle, I will post hand pictures when it arrives :-)
 
@leslie1956 I love the color combination! It's hard to wait for something so pretty, isn't it?!

I recently acquired a .295 ct demantoid garnet (3.91mm x 2.47mm) and a .25 ct Namya pink spinel (4.5mm x 3.5mm) from Yvonne during her latest sale. I am thinking of making stacking rings with them. Pics below:

I also got a .28 ct paraiba tourmaline (4.1mm) from Yvonne to go with my other two stones. Just love how all of the colors work together as a trio.

Can you imagine them all in a piece together. How fabulous that'd be. :love:

Ooh..are you going to make the paraiba a stacker too?

Yes, it is, MrsKMB :) Yvonne suggested pairing the demantoids with the Paraiba and she was spot on, as always. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Acinom! It always amazes me that such small stones create such a big impact :-)
 
I'm waiting for Yvonne to make two rings for me. The first one was originally going to be my daughters' birthstones, which are sapphire and topaz, but finding a setting and good color combination was proving very difficult because I discovered vendors don't stock teensy topaz. (I'm already having JuliaB make one. I want two, one for each girl to have once I'm gone.) So I switched gears, and decided to go with their favorite colors, purple and pink. She's making this with a pink sapphire center and amethyst sides.

She's also making a two flower ring for me with these yummies, paraiba and spinel. :kiss2:

That should be really pretty with pink and purple, good color choices!

I spent three hours on her site the other day...I had so much in my cart it was ridiculous. Didn't buy a single thing, but I think I looked at your spinel. It's beautiful :clap: Congrats!
 
@elle_71125 Thank you! They are actually cobalt spinel. I'm excited!

What amazing colors! Yvonne's flower ring is a great showcase for vivid smaller stones :-) You've had a great new jewelry week, I must say, MrsKMB:clap:
