Wearing my lab hot pink sapphire by @precisiongem.com passed onto me by @elle_71125 set in LM platinum diamond pears. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday funday!
Someone had a thread about gem cleaner, well, I can't find it, but I tried this brand called Goddard's jewelry cleaner (it states it's safe for all gems, but I wouldn't clean porous ones), and OMG!!! The luster came back on my spinel!! I cleaned some other rings. You can see the difference, the surface is so shiny and mirrorlike. I can't stop staring at it!! I could not get the dust and smudges out of my demantoid, I thought they were inclusions for the longest time, and here it is very clean, stacked with a lavender dirty spinel.
What form does it take? Liquid in a bottle or a pen? I love Godard’s for many other cleaning needs, but don’t remember seeing a jewelry cleaner. Off to see if I can buy it somewhere near here or order….
I looove your antique ruby ring and I would not call it dinky. The craftsmanship of those old Victorian/Edwardian pieces is amazing!
Oh, how about that! I just learned a new meaning to the word! In the US "dinky" isn't complimentary. Your ring is gorgeous, sorry for the confusion! I love those antique pieces, the 18k gold and carved shoulders is beautiful!!
Yeah, I was surprised too. Totally opposite meaning, and there I was thinking that dinky was maybe just a British expression.
Yes, the gold and the details are lovely. I do like carved shoulders - I wonder why they don't do them so much these days (is it because of preference for white gold/platinum or nothing to do with that and more of a modern taste thing)?
Is this mid century?
I love the top too, matches your handle name.
Gorgeous necklace and you look beautiful!
