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

Lovely stuff to keep our spirits up! Holly C what sparkly fun for your ears! Polyhex what a good idea to wear the brooch on your arm so you can see it! I will have to try it!
 
@HollyC Who designed these for you? I'm loving the complementary but not matchy look!

They are from Australian designer “Canturi”. They also come half gemstone, half diamond.
 
I’m new to the colored stone party — picked this up because I loved the stones and might repurpose them but it’s fun to wear too. Victorian, teal sapphire, rubies and small old mine cuts. I love the color of the sapphire.3C8DDA3D-B3F7-4407-8E99-9539A7F6D259.jpeg

Very sweet and elegant design. I love the color combination!

Oh and there’s the chrysoberyls too!A12EC2F4-28B6-4317-8441-CB990F19D239.jpeg

Love them all, but especially the color contrast in the sapphire and chrysoberyl three-stone!
 
= packs a classy punch
= life's too short to not enjoy ;-)
= Zest for living!

Very kind, and I hope accurate. :kiss2: When I am feeling shy or self-conscious, I remind myself that the art I wear is for me, and that life is too short not to wear what you love. Or as Harry Winston said, "People will stare, make it worth their while."
 
Today I'm wearing my 7+ ct malaia garnet while I contemplate how to reset her. I can't capture how pretty she is now because she just blends in with my skin. I'm thinking rose gold halo? Would love to hear opinions. 20210112_111506.jpg20210112_111521.jpg

A rose gold border (whether it be a halo or bezel) would look beautiful with this stone!
 
Been wearing hardier stones due to Covid and hand washing (opals and softer rings are for play at home only) and today is ruby ring

Beautiful ring, icy_jade! I love the halo, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like it! Does this beauty have a thread?

Thanks @sparkle_snail ! Love the halo too. Got the ring from my regular local jeweler and think is a readymade setting.

Don’t think I created a thread for it but I rem posting in some other threads. Anyway found some old pics:

Wow, I need to visit your local jeweler someday! :lol: You have such a beautiful collection, but this just might be my favorite piece of yours. It truly glows.

Aww thanks! It’s always interesting to me what others on PS like most in my collection so thanks for letting me know your fav!

Found another post with more pics - I must have more of the ring in sunlight but can’t find for now. This post includes pics from my jeweler’s display before covid travel disruptions decimated his stocks:
@PriscaSinclair i went to pick up my paraiba ring today and looked at rubies at my jeweller. He has a loose 1.53ct, 7.7x6x3.5mm (locally certified as vivid red, unheated) for <2k so I took some photos.

Some pics included just for gratuitous viewing haha. @T L @mellowyellowgirl @voce

The stone has a window which I think will be minimized upon setting... not sure if you can tell but the loose ruby in the temp ring holder is more crystal while mine is more silky...

With another unheated 2ct pinkish red ruby set in pendant.

Cute aquamarine earrings. Like them despite windows but really too sweet/girlish for me.

Oh my lord! So lucky I don’t live near you - I’d be bankrupt.
