Bravo! I can't wait to see what you come up with. These are such lovely hues

A great assortment of shapes, sizes, and colors - they all work well together.

Now, how will you set all of these in a pendant?

 

[Arcadian]

Very pretty! I love this combination! Who do you plan on making the pendant with?

-A

Congratulations on finding all the stones!
How long did it take to find them all? Looking forward too seeing the pendant!

Oh I don't know maybe some very simple prong settings soldered together with no thoughts about what looks cool or fashionable.

Deathspi- I've only been trying to come up with a working rainbow for about 3 months, I've had a couple of the stones for a while and bought them because I like the colors Now they're all going into one piece and it will be super fab

Arc- I don't know who I want yet... I have a million different ideas running through my head of what this could look like and haven't decided who's style best fits the winning idea

Thank you mrswahs!

Lovely stones! Are you doing yellow gold? Something a la Alex Sepkus could be very cool.
What are your ideas?

 

[Treenbean]

All I can say is Taste the rainbow!!! Candy good nom nom nom. Davi I'm letting you pick the stones for my next project.

 

[davi_el_mejor]

Thanks Treenbean! Would be glad to help, but really the people here really helped me out tons! You're in good hands here

Silver for this guy! Men's necklaces are either dog tags, giant screaming eagles or crosses. Not my cup of tea. I'm thinking lined up vertically ROYGBV style. I'm thinking something like this but way more refined and tweaked

 

[JewelFreak]

They are beautiful, Davi! Pure, gorgeous colors. (I'm in LUUUV with the blue spinel.) As you get ideas, I hope you'll put them up -- what an interesting project.

Oy, where did you find the spinels? Fantastic!

The reddish one is from Tan, the blue is from a fellow PS'er (she also supplied the spess ) and the purple is from only-natural-gemstones. The culet on the purple is way off center but you can't tell face up. The blue is even lovelier in person and is a pain in the bum to photograph. The reddish one ranges from red to orange to pink- a bit sleepy but really glows!

Thanks JF! I will I'll need the wonderful incite of you all.

Pretty rainbow!

I like the idea of a pendant but may I make an observation? In your mock-up of the design, the top half of the pendant reminded be a bit of a traffic light. Whilst I like the colour graduation, I wonder if you could move the red down a bit? Or perhaps you could move them so they're not in a long line?

Very crude but I had fun doing this!!!
