Very pretty! I love that oval blue sapphire.

Thanks Szh! It was my first colored stone purchase

 

[Largosmom]

Very nice...I am very fond of amethyst and love the cut on yours. What do you call the tool you are using to hold the stones? I need one of those!

 

[Fly Girl]

Very, very nice stones and rings. I remember that first RH sapphire. So glad you started a colored stone collection. You have learned well, Grasshopper.

Thanks so much for the eye candy.

Beautiful Collection

And here I thought it was going to be a dull weekend on PS! I loved seeing your collection - some I remember from awhile ago, and they almost seem like old friends. I''m particularly interested in what LOGR settings you''ve chosen! And I''m jealous you have decent daylight - we''ve had nothing but clouds and rain lately.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, wow - BEG - thanks so much for updating your collection pics! Your rings are all gorgeous, and I don''t know how you choose which one to wear!

I''ve always loved your JW blue green and your blue sapphire, but can I just say how much I love that DS amethyst?!?!?

I also adore that aqua cushion - how do you envision setting that one??

 

[tsavvy]

You have some wonderful rings! I love the blue spinel and the large green BB tourmaline looks stunning in the lotus setting. I ditto Lauren''s question on how you are going to set the aqua - the color and cutting on that stone are terrific. Thanks for sharing your pictures

BEG,
Nice collection of precision cut gems!! I think the JW seafoam tourmaline ring is my favorite!!

 

[FrekeChild]

ETA: and I know how she wants to set them!!!!

 

[Lovinggems]

Thanks for the photos BEG, a wonderful collection.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Thank you Largosmom, Fly Girl, D&T, Cellentani, Lauren, Tsavvy, TL, Freke, and LovingGems!

Largos, I''m not entirely sure. I just call it a stone holder but I know there are other kinds out there too. Hopefully someone else will give you a better answer! Here is one I found: link

D&T, thank you!

Fly Girl, I can''t believe how much I''ve bought in the year and change since that first sapphire. You guys are enablers!

Cellentani, it''s been fairly cloudy here too (and super windy!). December will be better - I''ll freeze my butt off outside, but I''ll have a great white backdrop with all the snow

Lauren, I have to say, you''ve totally been my inspiration for the two settings coming my way. I love your rings - so stay tuned. Hopefully these''ll be done and set by the end of next week!

Tsavvy, I''ll update with finished ring pics

TL, thanks! I''m definitely spoiled with all of these fantastic gem cutters

Freke, shhh!

Lovinggems, thank you!

Green tourm

That one''s really something (the rest is nice too, but this one is my favorite)!

 

[bookworm240]

I love the pic. of them all lined up....it reminds me of one of those Ester Williams synchro. swimming scenes. Each ring will jump off the couch in turn!!

Great collection, thanks for sharing.

 

[oddoneout]

Wow amazing collection. I love all the colours.

 

[Largosmom]

Thanks so much for the link, there are other things I''m wanting there too (yay) and apologies for the mini-threadjack...but to stay mostly on topic, I keep coming back to look at your rings and stones, particularly that amethyst.

Love love love love love your blue sapphire AND OMG just look at the colour of that Aqua! What a sensational colour! What are your plans for it???

 

[Stone Hunter]

Very very nice collection. If I have to pick a favorite or two I pick the Sapphire and the Spinel. Nice colors and settings. Thank you very much for sharing!!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Thanks everyone! You guys are all so nice!

Ma re, I love that one too. Unfortunately, I''m having the hardest time finding the perfect setting for it. Any ideas?

Bookworm, lol! I got a great visual image of my rings diving off the chair - thanks!

Oddoneout, thank you! I do need to add something yellow in there to complete my rainbow....

Largos, no problem! Threadjacks are fun

And thanks!

Lovingdiamonds, I have a setting coming for the aqua but I''m keeping it a surprise until the ring''s done! Should be end of next week (hopefully!)

Stone Hunter, thanks! I love those two as well - love my blue stones!

BEG - I can't wait to see them set, though I think you may have just given me a hint . . .
