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

Is the rose gold bracelet Roberto Coin? It looks like one of his very trendy creations!!!

Hi @LIGemzGal thanks for the designer compliment but its not! This bracelet is from a gem and jewelry show about 10 years ago and I love it! It's not a pink rose gold and that is my only complaint. It's super comfortable and sparkly!
 
As per ordered :)

Your gorgeous stone is the perfect size for a ringdant. :love:

Does the bale detach or fold under? I'm thinking the fold under mechanism is more difficult to execute when the setting doesn't have a deep pavilion.

It folds under and secures well, similar to all my other ringdants. I actually tried asking for a green jadeite cabochon for this clasp instead of the usual tiny diamond melee, but it was too bulky and thick for the ring.

The clasp and bail secure under the raised basket frame which to me is just nice and not too high.

What does a detachable mechanism look like? The HK/China benches all seem to go with fold under so am quite curious

Old jadeite rings and new sapphire rings initially... but decided to swap for brighter and happier colors

And then after that I started thinking of Thanos :lol-2:

You should add your bloody Thanos hand shot of Halloween here too!

The ringdant in my avatar has a detachable bale because the space between the two halos was part of the design, and DW did not want a folded bale sitting right under that space and obscuring it. Also we didn't want the bale design to be restricted by the fact it had to fit under the pointed end of the pear shape, and not stick out the sides. So the idea of a fold under bale was dropped quite early in the design. Here's a LINK to my ringdant thread that shows how the bale is attached.

Been wearing blue sapphires the past 3 days, unheated 5.1 ct cushion indoors under flouroscent light, and unheated 3 ct oval under the sun. The 3 ct has an interesting sleepy/dreamy feel to it due to its silk

That opal is magnificent. Also loving the jades.
 
I do love opal! Wearing mine today as well
And I know pearls aren’t colored gems but I can’t stop staring at the fancy Tahitian and all the different greens and coppers I see in different lighting.

I got a new phone recently! So I had to snap new pics of my pad ring with it to test out the camera:

Your ring turned out beautifully. The matte gold and stone together give it a wonderful glow.

The sun came out, and I'm loving all my reds. Still have some in the same at home though.
