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

[Star gazer]

These sweet rubies always make me smile!<3

Finally a little bit of sun.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely precious!

 

[elle_71125]

My new Ceylon sapphire ring…my first sapphire center and halo ring. Wasn’t sure if I liked halos for myself (I’ve admired everyone else’s) but I’m loving this! It’s like a nice frame for the CS.

What a gorgeous bright blue! The color is stunning and it looks absolutely perfect in that halo setting.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely precious!

Thanks Elle! There always comes a time when you fall in love with pink

Fall in love each and every time.

 

[Neptune]

Fall in love each and every time.

Thank you!

By the way, do you wear your oval tsav and emerald cut emerald rings together? Both rings look well made and would love to see them side by side!

Thank you I have not wore those two together yet, I will try to take a photo when I get home today

@Neptune i don’t want to thread-Jack but I’m wondering if there is a thread with your entire ring collection?
I ask because I’m trying to curate my own collection and find I’m continually attracted to similar style rings when my ultimate goal is to own at least one stellar example of each main colored gemstone, a few classic antiques and a few diamonds in different cuts.
Basically I’m asking if you buy what attracts you or if you deliberately curate a collection and where are you in your journey because from the little I’ve seen, it’s SPECTACULAR!

 

[Neptune]

Thank you, @SapphireBomb

I've learned so much from this community (hello, tone/saturation & treatments!) and enjoy the educational journey still. I am not a collector, just a simple jewelry wear/lover.

HARD yes to "buy what attracts you".
Only choose colours & buy pieces that I wear.
New CS HAS to stand out from the old gang, otherwise, it's not staying.
Still somewhat anti-halo, haha!

I got these Kwiat twins over a decade ago, before I got bit by the CS bugs. I adore the craftsmanship. I now know that they aren't the best looking ruby and sapphire but I still love them. Not sure if this is considered a journey...

You're from the estate jewelry trade, right? Must be hard to stay away from temptation, or you have seen enough that you're way better to spot what you like-dislike?

It’s a cloudy day but here’s them together. It feels that side by side the blue and yellow in each is more pronounced.


And can you tell I like wearing green? XD

Oh mine, such fun!!
Yep, emerald for me all the way!
Your fingers are beautiful btw.

Yes, I am in the estate and antique jewelry world and the more I learn, the more I recognize what I want to know.
I hope that makes sense…it’s a never-ending fascinating journey.
Yet as much as I know…and it takes a lot to turn my head at this juncture… I still struggle with my own “collection”.
Temptation is an everyday reality but at least it has significantly narrowed in scope.
Your pieces are beautiful and I hope you enjoy them.

Definitely a reason that emerald is the king of green gems, really glad I got one. (Also love the glow with good jade, whereas with green sapphires the magic for me is in their subtlety and wide range of colors)
Thanks for the compliment!

I love your green collection. I especially love the unique and elegant designs. Yes, emeralds are special - tsavorites have the sparkle but emeralds they have the magic glow.

I am also a green lover (L-R tsav, tsav, demantoid, sapphire / emerald, emerald, tsav): As ususal, the photo does no justice to the emeralds.

Oh my love your collection too! Thanks for sharing. I am a big fan of bezels and solid gold. The emerald-emerald is wow. And can you share more about the second ring on the left? Is it little sidestones or gold beads tucked between the shank?

Beautiful ring! And I wonder about the diamond that was previously in the setting. It must've been a big sparkle bomb

This one? They are little yellow sapphires. The design is a case of making a virtue of necessity. How do you set a sparkly but small demantoid in a way that's suitable for a man's ring?

This is so cool! Do you mind if I potentially use this idea in a future project?

Thank you! Feel free. Copy or modify it any way you like.

This was the inspiration. It was taken from a website and has a very stylish designer look (more so than my version) - so best not to copy it directly.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing the original inspiration as well. Very stylish indeed (both versions)!

A quick snap as I just walked out of the jewellery store with it and it’s evening and I’m already losing the light. I’ll take more photos tomorrow but for now I just wanted to share.



ETA: another quick one

 

[Timor]

Kinda cheating because I’m not wearing it today but just saw it in my album and thought the spinel looked pretty glowy in the shade.

 

[Neptune]

Dress code? Sorted it.

Caretaker is the word.

To be honest, I don't really care for the idea of building a "collection", maybe I'm too casual? As long as I like them and enjoy wearing them, I'm golden.

 

[BoonGrrl]

Garnet with a couple of old mine cuts.
I love seeing everyones rings!!

The little sister's ruby that I bought her ages ago.
