anyone received any colored stones/jewelry for valentine's day? i would love to see :appl: im not sure if i shall ask this because im new here.but i hope you will like sharing pics of your gifts with me and everyone :)
 
Nope.... I'm forever alone ;( :knockout:
 
Oh, sigh, I only WISH!
 
I got some light toned, medium saturated lavender roses and some dark toned chocolates. Some might complain that they were too dark, but that's the one criterion that I demand. The other criteria such as cut and clarity of the chocolate are not as important as the dark tone. In fact, they have become almost totally extinct. :naughty:

Love this.

Received some pale pink, not quite pad roses . They have major zoning.
 
Doesn't really count, but finally set one of my mahenges for my wife (sidestones are emeralds) for her birthday at the end of January.

Love this - and pad roses with zoning are just about my favorite kind :praise:

Xrisus, your ring is lovely - the proportions are excellent.

Oooh, I'm so glad I clicked in here and got to see this pic! The ring looks beautiful! I am very partial to the look of mahenges with mint garnets, but I really like seeing how the darker green emeralds look with it.

Do you mind sharing who set the gems/did the ring?
 
Oh but to answer the original question ... No, no v day gifts. I've been married too long for that, lol. Or in other words, it's just not a thing we celebrate. DH's bday is today so we have a little evening planned for that :)
 
I actually purchased the setting second-hand (loupe troop), with the emeralds already in place. I had a local jeweler resize the ring, do some prong work, and set the center stone. The pictures never seem to catch thr emerald color exactly, they are a nice medium toned green with a slight...bluish modifier. Here is another shot outdoors on a rare cloudy day.

wow both rings are very beautiful :appl:
 
We don't celebrate V Day in our household but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your lovelies here. Congrats on the now extinct dark chocolates, zoned roses and lovely new rings. :appl:
