SS Big Blue ring has arrived

[Fly Girl]

I love strong vibrant colors, too. What gorgeous rings. Absolutely stunning. If the blue ring makes you happy, the red ring must make you joyous!

 

[colorluvr]

I Love that sapphire and the setting is perfect for it... congratulations on a great ring (and your spinel is pretty also!)

 

[motownmama]

love your new ring - the setting is so unique!

 

[Nomsdeplume]

Oh my! That color is stunning! The two rings look great, I don''t see why they can''t be worn together.

 

[Stone Hunter]

I just LOVE that color!!

Great photos...

and I really appreciate you telling us where your bought the stone and what jeweler you used. That really helps all of us alot.

What color did Simply Sapphires call this stone??

 

[sleepyspinel]

I was really lucky no one snapped it up when it went on sale As far as tone is concerned, I think we are definitely on the same page!

I forgot to mention that I got the stone from Simply Sapphires and they are just a pleasure to work with. Very professional and fair!

I only really hear good things about them, so that''s a plus, and what a fine stone too! Just gorgeous color. I''m not a fan of overly dark toned sapphires.

 

[sleepyspinel]

I totally agree about it being a happy color! Thanks so much for looking

Here is big blue and my sleepy reddish-pink sleepy spinel... too much for going outside, but fun to see side by side...

Wonderful colors! Lovely, lovely stones.

 

[sleepyspinel]

Thanks for your comments on the design! Its really difficult to design sleek, understated rings with largish stones for men! I look forward to seeing your trillion ring when its completed

OMG SS, just look at the colour on that Sapphire! WOW!

I agree about Simply Sapphires - they''re so good to work with aren''t they?

 

[sleepyspinel]

Joyous yes! I just go ga-ga over these vibrant colors. I am thrilled that the stone finally is out of its lock box and able to shine in the outside world.

Before everyone gets bored with my thank yous... here is a shot of the blue ring and the little brother pendent, I am glad that the two stones match up well as a set... and both made by Michael E!

 

[sleepyspinel]

Thanks for your nice words colorluvr, motownmama and kribbie!

 

[sleepyspinel]

Aww thanks. For me part of the fun of this hobby is sharing pictures and information and general good times with other gemstone fans and I am only too happy to do so!

What color did Simply Sapphires call this stone??

When I asked John from Simply Sapphires about the color he described it as "descibe the color as medium light violet blue with a moderate saturation of color (kind of like a medium colored tanzanite)". And I tend to agree with his description.

 

[chiquitapet]

Wow!! What a beautiful colour!

 

[sleepyspinel]

Here is a group picture of the collection to date... I feel something orange is in order next

 

[StonieGrl]

That color is truly amazing, so beautiful and unique. I think the settings look great, nice work between you and Michael E. Cool pendant, if you have the chance a few more of the pendant?

Great looking jools, you have three really fantastic pieces there.

 

[PumpkinPie]

wow - that is a fabulous blue!

 

[oddoneout]

That is one of the most beautiful colours I have ever seen.

 

[T L]

Orange?

 

[PinkTower]

Your ring is spectacular. I just love the first photo.
I don''t know if I like your spinel or sapphire more. I know it is a spinel, but I think it looks more rubylike than many rubies from the photos.

 

[MAC-W]

That is a stunning colour. I''m in love

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Amazing collection!!

Orange eh? So you aren''t setting the mint garnets any time soon? Sniffle...

 

[Lovinggems]

Spectacular colours, love your whole collection!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

my jaw just hit the keyboard!!!!!! that is a gorgeous stone!!!!! what a great color!!!!!!
