The side profile came out perfectly! Love the different colors of your moody spinel

 

[minousbijoux]

You did really well all the way around, Alene! I love that you have a Boss in that ring - that spinel is beyond moody! Its like in its own way its communicating with the World, like a Boss.

ETA: and of course the craftmanship is awesome.

I LOVE this ring! The stone and the setting! It’s a gorgeous color. I love how it has different moods - one of my favorite things about nice spinels!

 

[SouthernGent]

I love that stone also. Would you mind sharing what the price on it was, please?

Thanks, Sunshinelab!

Thank you! I’m happy with the profile too, it’s a little high, but it kept the stone from getting darker once set.

Thanks so much! It is definitely a Boss! Perfect way to describe it!

Thanks! The different moods and color shifts are one of my favorite things about spinel in general too, and this stone in particular.

I love that stone also. Would you mind sharing what the price on it was, please?

Thanks! I believe it was about $500 or so, but it’s been a while.

Very pretty! It looks even lovelier on your hand! It suits you so perfectly.

Congratulations on your anniversary!

Thanks so much! Waiting for the anniversary to wear it is the hardest part!

I love that color!

Thanks, Thirdrock!

Wow! That is just stunning! What a color and what a lovely ring. Are the side stones baguettes or are they bullet shaped?

 

[alene]

Thanks! The sides are small bullets that I had and David’s rounds.

The setting and stone are spectacular!

Love the clean design of your ring. Wear it in good health.

It’s finished and should be here tomorrow! Pictures from DK before I can take my own. The spinel is from Gary at Finewater Gems. I can’t wait to get it!

Excellent stone and fabulous setting. Hard to go wrong with that combination.

I'm late to this fabulous ring party, but can I ask @alene what is the carat weight of the spinel? It's a dream of mine to have one in a similar color.

Thanks for your kind worlds, Derbygal! The stone is 2.65 cut and 8 x 8 mm.

so glad this thread poped up again as im still new around here
i love love love the colour and the ring is gorgeous

 

[Hounddog]

Divine colour, superb ring.Enjoy!

 

[icy_jade]

How did I miss this before? So glad it popped up again.

Beautiful ring! Such a unique spinel color.

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

It’s here and it’s beautiful! But it is so moody. I took a million pictures and it seems to shift color even in the same lighting depending on the angle. Diffuse natural light seems the best. The only issue is that it’s just a tiny bit smaller than my other ring from DK the same size, which means it’s a bit tight on my right hand. I think it’s going to have to be an alternative ering. Please excuse the dry hands, I had to snap the photos quickly before my husband put it away until our anniversary next month.

So pretty! Congratulations on your anniversary!

 

[Acinom]

How did I miss this!!
What a gorgeous ring. I love the mysterious blue.

 

[distracts]

@alene beautiful ring! What makes the little triangles under the end of the baguettes? Or is the baguette cut into a triangle on one end?

 

[Arkteia]

Teal spinel. Fantastic!

 

[alene]

Just wanted to thank you guys again for all the kind words on my ring, I really enjoy wearing ti!

@distracts, those are actually bullets, so the bezel just follows the shape of the diamond.

Everything about this ring is #goals
If only we could bookmark threads on there hahaha.

I'm obsessed with teal colors (I mean... profile pic), and this is one of the richest-colored spinels I've seen!
