Speaking of Yvonne's stacking rings, I have a new pretty that will arrive on Monday I'll be sure to include some hand shots of this spinel with my zircon and rustic diamond stackers in RG.

Ooh so envious! I have to wait to set my spinels because there's not enough money for everything.

My first post was yesterday, and I told myself I would post more.... so here goes. I LOVE Yvonne’s work, and have for many years. I want to start with my first ever piece back in 2013. I wish I had listened to her and used gold, but this was my pre-divorce ring and needed to be as cost efficient as possible. I should tell everyone, I’ve been Obsessed with colored stones my whole life and it’s part of why I went into Geology so many years ago. This is my Mahenge spinel set in silver, The design at the time was the daisy, but now is called the scalloped design. I’ll post my more recent additions soon, and two I’m waiting on .

And now the whole family...including two background dogs . Not ideal picture taking conditions, but not too bad for a quick one.

Gorgeous stones. I can see that you're into pinks and paraibas, much like a lot of people here. I love the background dogs, as well.

I love pinks... they call to my heart! I have two other rings coming soon, lavender spinel ring and an emerald. I can’t wait to see them. They both have some pink in them

So pretty and fwiw I think silver is underrated. Yes it needs the occasional polish but you can do it at home and no other metal naturally has that super bright look. Sweet collection!

Thank you... I use the aluminum foil, baking soda and boiling water trick. It works wonders.

What a gorgeous collection of pinks! I admired your new pendant when I saw it in Yvonne's shop, am glad it belongs to a PSer so I can ogle it some more, lol. I noticed that most of your pieces were set in RG which I love Your sweet dogs are a welcome addition to the picture, too.

Thank you so much! I love rose gold, even as a kid... I remember seeing it for the first time in a pendant my mom had, the flowers were rose gold. It wasn’t until years later I found out whole pieces could be created in it.. lol. I’m so glad Yvonne uses it so much! I might have recently picked up a ring she did in it, that I could not pass up. More on that when it arrives.

The dogs save my sanity on a daily basis

Rose gold is my non-white metal of choice! I avoid yellow in all of its forms, clothing, household colors, and jewelry Your dogs are adorable, my kitties also save my sanity, so I can relate.

My spinel stacker arrived today! The color is awesome, it holds its own with the bigger stacking gems without a problem. Of course, now I want a bigger spinel All in, it cost under $350, so it was very reasonable

Most of you saw my post about the beautiful paraiba ring my husband had made with Yvonne. Thought I’d add it here with its Yvonne siblings - my paraiba, purple garnet and emerald pendant and my emerald and hyuanite 3 stone I bought from @leslie1956. These represent all of my favorite colors!!

Something came in the mail today I’m in love! This ring was a bit of an impulse purchase... I couldn’t resist. Pardon my freezing cold hands, it was 35 degrees with rain today... the pictures look way less saturated as I am uploading them, I sure hope the look better once posted. I can’t believe the glow of this ring.

Gorgeous, congrats on the ring! Your pictures turned out better than Yvonne's. I think different colors really depend on which camera's used.

Anyway, your Elizabeth ring is very beautiful!

It’s amazing what an iPhone can do . Thank you so much, I’ve always wanted an emerald, since it’s my birthstone, but had planned to wait...when I saw this I could not believe how gorgeous it is! Let’s say, it was a bit of an impulse purchase.... now I’m saving for something else lol .

Ooh, please do share what that is. A new gemstone? It's ok, you can request Yvonne set it aside for you and pay in installments. A new custom project using gemstones you already bought? We definitely want more details!

Well I do have another one that should arrive this week and I have one I’m looking at... I’m always looking. She is so amazing with working with you, I think in a few months if I can be really good and not purchase anything, I’ll get the new gem... The other ring that arrives this week is super special to me. We have been working on it since early January. It reminds me of a butterfly, although I have no reasonable explanation as to why that is. Lol. I want to see it before I post it.

It is so gorgeous, and honestly I instantly fell in love when I saw it. My plan was to do an emerald ring or pendant eventually... but I could not have dreamed up a more gorgeous combination.

This ring is so gorgeous! I love that green and pink combo and the design is so unique yet wearable. Love it!

Thank you It really is. The emerald feels protected too, which makes me feel better. Sometimes I move gracefully like when I do yoga, but more often I fall up the stairs and run into walls.

You too? Here I thought I was alone in the world. Though, to be totally honest, I’m not even that graceful with yoga.

Oh please be still my heart!
That emerald is such a delicious shade of blue green.... I could lick it!

Please please please sign me up for the #1 spot if for whatever reason you ever in the world decide to part with this sweet Elizabeth.
Wear her in good health! She should bring you luck! All Emmys do!

New earrings from Yvonne came in the mail yesterday so fitting for Earth Day. Sapphires, aquamarines, apatite, peridot, and tsavorites. I’m usually not an earring person but I’m such a fan of these now I would like some of her kite dangle ones!

Thanks! Earrings are so fun but I prefer rings so I can stare at my pieces haha. Does DF hope you don’t pierce your ears so it won’t lead to a new bling addiction?
