Love the color! The ring looks fabulous!

Now for the cell phone pics during a gray rainy day. I''m starting to think that my camera phone (blackberry) takes better macro pics than my camera...then again I haven''t taken many with my camera yet.

Love it!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Oh yeah, and it was TOTALLY influenced by icekid''s sapphire ring.

 

[Novel]

I think Icekid''s ring was the only non-bezel I''ve ever looked at and thought "I want!"... before yours!

 

[Catmom]

I thought of icekid''s ring when I saw your new ring. I am loving the grey

 

[Inanna]

I love it Liz, it is gorgeous. Love the color too. OK, is this another e-ring, tee hee.

It looks so lovely and really suits your hand. Many congratulations.

 

[AustenNut]

That is one purrrrdy ring, you''ve got there. Thanks for sharing!

 

[beaujolais]

Very elegant & perfect setting for it. I can picture how great this would be with a black dress, business suit or grey sweater & jeans.

 

[radiantquest]

I really like it. When you said gray spinel I wasn''t sure if I would like it, but it is beatiful. I may just like it more than a diamond. I am really into that color now that I have seen your ring. Great choice.

 

[SB621]

I LOVE YOUR RING!!! I have a plantium blue/silver spinel and I think I might have a similar setting now that I saw yours. it is lovely!
