Mochito, such a bouquet of blue freshness. Very luscious.I wore this little step cut tourmaline on my right hand today and decided to move it to my left so I could take a photo with two other blue/green tourmalines.
Fantastic combination! I love that this goes with yellow pants! That sapphire ring looks very impressive in color and size. You are lucky that you can wear yellow. I love that color but I find it hard to wear. Then there are some people on whom it looks fantastic, and you are one of them. I commend your total outfit with yellow gems, yellow pants, and all the flair to wear these together. .Yellows today to match my bright yellow pantscitrine and gold chandeliers, citrine pear, sapphire and diamond Halo.
Really lovely ring! That's amazing that it's a topaz with 2 spinels! They look great together. Is there a difference in color or sparkle in different lights?I am wearing my custom Roger Dery pink topaz (center) with 2 6 mm baby pink spinel rounds that I bought from Elle. The 2 species match remarkably well. It is a big ring! I love it - ha ha I am wearing it on my right ring finger, but put it on my middle for photography purposes.
Thank you! yes, the spinels show more pink in fluorescent light. They are a pretty darn good match to the topaz though.
Fantastic stack, with true delicacy and elegance. Could be thousands of years old! Truly timeless. Really love that black opal!Today I am wearing my Lightening Ridge black opal (N1/Color play 4.5) with my emerald and pearl band. Can you tell I had an allergic reaction to juniper bushes?
really beautiful, Burmesedaze. Those gorgeous earrings! IWearing colours in the pouring rain.
It's a tourmaline with complex color.
I know, right? That jadeite ring might as well be a brass knuckle!Bluegemz, your rings are deadly weapons! Lol. Be careful you might accidentally knock people down.
Some classic pieces which I saw yesterday, mostly A grade jadeite...a slim, opaque but lively lavender jade hinged bangle, a huge jadeite ring, interesting setting, a nice tourmaline...nothing mind blowing in terms of design yet. So far I've seen very classic things. I saw some super expensive Californian nephrite jade, carved by a famous carver in Asian styles, a dragon, Buddha, etc. I found also some wonderful vintage emeralds, with fantastic saturation, from Colombia, old stock.
One store, which was extremely high end, had classic settings, with extremely high quality gems, but the settings weren't very innovative in my opinion. I would have taken pictures but the sales person/owner seemed very gruff and had a faint smell of alcohol, and there was a guard with a gun pacing around. Not a pleasant atmosphere.
Sigh... I wouldn't mind getting the 2 jadeite rings. The lavender one is very opaque, but I love the setting and large size. It's just big, dramatic, simple and beautiful! The green jadeite had a lovely, fresh color. They had them in different sizes and I showed the largest. I suppose I feel that smaller rings don't really look good on me due to the size of my hands.but I will not be getting those. I've got my eye on another ring...if I buy it, I'll post pictures here.I want them ALL..just gorgeous
Yes! I can't wait to see it polished up!So this is the piece I've had my eye on and just couldn't stop thinking about. I bought the other star, but when I visited it again, I realized that I love them both for different reasons, and one can never be a substitute for the other. So, I ended up buying this star sapphire ring. It's 29 carats ( the darker one), an art deco piece in platinum. It's going to be repolished, stone and metal, with redone prongs, and sized up so that I can wear it on my index finger, next to the other one pictured which I own. I've had a passion for stars lately! Now I'm on a jewelry ban for a while...
Thank you for the enthusiasm! Now the waiting game begins....
Real talk. I'm living through you at the moment.
What a complinent! You have added so much to my inspiration, thank you! I hope I can return the favor!
Yesterday I was wearing my high karat gold filigree peacock and flower, with spessartite beads. I also bought this silk, embroidered blouse specifically for these jewelry pieces.
Your greens are amazing!Ah, orange, so beautiful!
I have a green day today, two emeralds and a chrysoprase.
Hey, thank you, Arkteia!
Really lovely, Burmesedaze!Jade, blue sapphires and a light pink spinel for the dreary Sunday with lots of rain and traffic.
It's gorgeous Bluegemz! I love your style!So this is the piece I've had my eye on and just couldn't stop thinking about.

Thank you! I'm delighted that you like it! It's currently being restored. Hopefully it will be done in 2 weeks. I seriously cannot wait to wear it on a daily basis with my other one. I had the stats wrong...it's 34.3 carats, with 2.60 carats in diamonds. As you can see in this picture, one of the long, baguette diamonds on the side was whacked at some time. In order to fix this, I'll eventually have to have a diamond especially cut. But that can wait for some time. As a 100 year old ring, with a little TLC, I don't mind that one 'flaw... I really hate calling such things ' flaws'. When it's done, I'll be able to capture the star better, which I haven't captured well in pics, once it's got a better polish on it.
