What a stunning ring!! Details please.
Where did you find the amazing stones and who set them for you?
Love the box as well by the way. Is it the vendor box?
Pssssst…
@elle_71125 bought a stunning Paraiba
From @Desertrose
Look at the glow!
How will you set this beauty Elle?
I wish I could tell you. For now, it sits with its other paraiba friends.
wow- just catching up on this thread. So many beautiful Paraiba gems and jewelry that I hadn't seen!! I've been drooling!!
I am about to add a new little ring to my collection.
My 20th anniversary is next month and to celebrate 20 married years with my best friend I decided I would like a Toi et Moi ring- the sentiment just matched my feelings. So then, I had to decide which of my gems to set in it. A no brainer for me was my original engagement ring princess cut diamond. I liked the idea of using my neglected diamond which had just been sitting in my jewelry box, but I am too sentimental to sell it. And then looking through my gem boxes I kept going back to a pretty little (.62) paraiba pear I purchased from Yvonne back in 2016. Perfect! Not only is it one of my husband's favorite stones and color, but it reminds me of the carribean waters where we got married. But, I felt like I needed a little accent color, so back to the jewelry box and picked out a couple of intense pink argyle diamond melee stones. Then went to work on the design. I sent David Klass my design concept with some sketches and he saw my vision perfectly. I wanted an easy to wear, not too blingy ring, that was a little quirky. I'm pretty happy with the results. Here is a preview photo from David and I should have this little cutie next week. Introducing the Princess and the Pea...r.
I absolutely love your 20th anniversary present!! Congratulations!
Got these as I really like the setting
It's here!!!!! And looking pretty glowy today
I've been super busy and just haven't had time to take more photos. And, really, after seeing so many lovely hands on here, I don't think you or anyone else would enjoy looking at my old wrinkly ones-haha!! But, I have been wearing my ring and just love it for comfort and just enough casual bling. I don't think my choice of using the 2 little intense pink diamonds was the best as they don't show up in the antique gold as much as they would have in rose gold, so in retrospect I should have just saved them for another project. However, David being the wonderful service oriented and meticulous jeweler that he is, offered to change them out for me any time I want, but I figure that I know they are there and basically the ring is for me (and, well, maybe my hubby) so I am going to keep them in place. They are special and so is my 20th anniversary.
While we're waiting on Elle's group shots, I will post the family pic I took of my rings. No plan to get any more paraiba unless the price and time are just right. These were taken at night, artificial light. The top right front features mostly emeralds, but the trillion gems are paraiba.

I could not resist and bought this oval pair from the wonderful DesertRose this weekend! The slightly larger blue oval is 0.58ct (6.5x5.0mm) and the more green-blue oval is 0.57ct (6.2x4.7mm).

in shade with the marquis trio.
So within half a month, I went from no paraiba to a trio and a pair!
I am now considering having the marquis trio made into unsymmetrical earrings, still with the Harry Winston design as the inspiration. I prefer to have the two oval made into one ring; if I do not find a design I love, I may have two rings made! Crazily exciting!

Adding mine. I was trying to be a turquoise-browed motmot.

Any thoughts on this tiny guy from DesertRose? (thought it's not worth a new thread and sorry for threadjacking)
.42cts and 5.5x3.7mm. It was priced at 1k and I put a hold on it.
It all started with the idea of finding/pairing a tiny neon cobalt spinel with a paraiba ... I'm willing to go even smaller for better color but that's what's available at this time.
