What are you wearing today?! Show me your CS!

More good cloudy day jewelry, an off-white zircon and honey hetian jade (though I think it's actually Siberian, Chinese agencies verify all items with a certain nephrite % as hetian). IMG_20200420_074940~3.jpg
*I did edit this picture to remove an overall yellow cast.
 
Mogok unheated ruby (my first!) and Burmese jadeite fat fat round bangle under the office common area lighting. I love how stones and jade morph colours under different lighting conditions.

Abalone & spinel earrings. The spinels are actually a close match, but one picks up well on camera while the other blacks out, I think due to differing iron content.

Today was hot hot hot in my little corner of California. Brought out the paraiba ring to feel cooler mentally. =)

Like me, sitting at home :lol: I typically don't wear jewelry at home...in fact, take my rings off as soon as I come in the house.

But this thread reminds me how our sparklies can bring joy and happiness.....so maybe I should change this as part of our "new" normal. Another reminder of how fortunate I am compared to so many others trying to get through this time.

I'm like- now's my chance all my jewelry matches my homebound "uniform" (leggings & a grey tee). Excluding more ornate stuff, I'm wearing stuff every day. Not on the doing my makeup train yet though. ☹️
 
I put my natural red spinel from Litnon into a wild inexpensive setting with a CZs and synthetics halo so I could look at it more. It looks best on a cloudy, pre-storm day.

Please delete my post if synthetics aren't allowed, I don't know if the forums are as strict as they used to be.

I have opals in similar settings. It really saves $$$$. Very pretty.
 
This Russian demantoid garnet shifts in color and to my eyes has more yellow, but boy does it sparkle!

Wish we could see a video of that fire and brilliance. Hint hint! Gorgeous color on the demantoid. Beautiful ring.

It's impossible for me to capture the color of this chrysoprase because it goes too saturated and blue on camera. Wearing this and my pink spinel ring.

Loooooooove that chrysoprase!!!! Amazing color :kiss2:
 
Thanks, I never do full hand shots because I hate my hands.

Well, I don’t want to do full hand shots these days either..lol!

Today I wore my Cassiar nephrite earrings. I love jadeite, but nephrite with a good polish is really hard to beat.

Oh, that looks like something from Paul Lanyon on Etsy. Love. :kiss2:
