Oh my goodness, I freaking love her! Gloria Floria is STUNNING!!! All that bright yellowy goodness pairs beautifully with the rose gold and bright white diamonds. I can't wait until you get her so I can see more pics.
ps: I wore my yellow flower ring today in honor of your new one. #flowerpowersisters indeed.
I had all sorts of different things planned for that rubellite, then, when I thought of the Christmas ring design, I wondered why I hadn't been thinking of that design all along! For someone who likes Christmas as much as me, it should be obvious! And - re the sapphire ring - I LOVE it! it needs a little tweaking, but I think it's going to be super eye catching. Hope so - we'll see!
I've had these gems for some time, so have really waited to get them done in the way that felt...'just right!' So it's lovely to see them come to fruition! Sometimes the wait makes things twice as good - and sometimes it's just a pain in the neck and you're glad when it's over!!
...and look what I received in my email a few minutes ago!! It's a gorgeous Jeff White yellow sapphire set in tiny rose gold prongs, surrounded by .85ctw of ideal cut colorless diamonds set in platinum, on an 18kt rose gold shank. What a breath of spring she is!!
@elle_71125 #flowerpowersistas!
All of it is incredible! My jaw is on the floor, and I just keep repeating, "Ooooh!" Luckily, only the dogs can hear me!
Thank you, @Catmom! It's just a tiny little thing, but I love unique and intricate bands; my fingers are too short to stack substantially, so I like to get as much interest into a band as I can without getting too nutty about it! Did you see the Gloria Floria? She's more substantial and I'm looking forward to getting her on my finger!!
Oh, @bling_dream19! You MUST have a Christmas ring if you're a Christmas bride!! I think I'm going to do a couple of very skinny ruby and diamond bands to wear with my holly ring - and I'm thinking something like that would work for you, too!! Thank you for your kind words; I'm reaching the end of my collecting days and am at a place where I'm trying to make every new piece special and personal and as beautiful as I can get it!
Thanks so much, @whitewave! I love them, too.
I am a details kinda girl. Small imperfections bug me, which can be good or bad - depending on the price!! The golden sapphire is 7.4mm, which I think is an elegant size, and the entire head of the ring is roughly 18mm x 18mm from tip to tip. Because the extremities really are just tips, it doesn't look that big on the hand, tho I am anticipating it looking substantial. I'm very happy with both my new pieces!
Thank you, @diamondseeker2006! They're lovely princess cuts, too! Very clean, very white, excellent light return. I'm very impressed, given their size. And I think the Gloria Floria is stunning - tho I won't see it until Monday. it needs some trimming, but I think it's a very elegant ring. I'm glad you like them!
LOL @Catmom! I'm glad you like it! Btw, I realized today - I don't think I commented on your sapphire bracelet! What a gorgeous piece! Your eye for the blues is second to none and your sapphire pieces are always gorgeous. I always think of Florida and tropical vacations and the Bahamas and the Caribbean etcetcetc when I see your sapphires; so lush! Enjoy in good health!
Thanks, @peppermintpatty
I'm very happy with both these rings - and I'm *so* glad I had it re-done with the princess cut sides. Really plays off the tsavs and makes the whole thing flooooow!
People like you push me to do it better and more beautifully - and I do mean that! Knowing one's things are ultimately going to be looked over by experienced PriceScope eyes pushes me to get it right and to look for the details or the things that might otherwise slip through the cracks. It's a good standard against which to hold oneself, and has been very helpful to me over the years. So - thanks.
Thank you, @luv2sparkle
@caolsen - oh, you astute woman, you! Yes, Byzantine-style jewelry was my first ever jewelry passion, and my guiding style for YEARS! I love its balance between 'ornate' and 'architectural'. They seriously knew how to do their bling, back then!!
@bling_dream19 - well, the ruby and diamond band is looking like more and more of a certainty! I just LOVE red and white on yellow gold - so lush! And I would love to help you with a Christmas band to add to your collection, Bling! <wheels turning already>
but so happy for you, it's a stunner and DK probably loves you, I'll bet.. he's a nice man as is Amy. Now to that yellow stunner, as usual and always - it's gorgeous.. Maybe you were a clone of mine! your taste and my taste is very similar.. unique (of course I am!), colorful, daring, and just darn beautiful. Thank you again for showing us how it's done. xoxo
Thank you, @Queenie60
@Lykame - I have always loved ancient jewelry and design in general. I studied ancient history both in school and at university and was entranced by their modes of decoration. I think that very balanced-yet-detailed look has its roots in Greco-Roman architecture, and I'd LOVE echoes of that to come through in anything I designed! What a standard to have!!
