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

Not sure which is a girl's bestfriend...diamonds or chocolate....

Though diamonds are forever, this chocolate cake sure didn't last long.

Here is the purple diamond adding to the sweetness on the table.

But you got to have your cake and eat it, plus the ring to keep too :)

Oh that cake! Now I have major chocolate cravings lol! And the ring! This picture gives away what joy and beauty surrounds! Simply gorgeous and delicious.
 
Today I’m into orange and black, with black jade bangle, (not pictured) yellow and white bangle, white Hetian river jade pendant and earrings, though the earrings are not as white as the disk. I’m relatively understated today.

Congrats, @mellowyellowgirl! Will you get the stone and then have her set or do you plan to have JD make a ring?
 
Chocolate & Purple !

It so happens that this is what Instagram put on top of my page today - WWW. Sure enough, only the colours are the same & not even the tone: Taffin's 'chocolate' is much less dark & the purple much lighter & a very different species ... Come to think of it, this is more relevant to your purple jades, @Bluegemz.

Happy to see your ring any day, @Seaglow !

JD will make the ring when I make my decision (see the new thread for my flapping!)! I really really really loved the end product of the two rings he's made me. Everything was spot on.

That is such a cool ring Valeria! You find such amazing things.
 
Same aquaprase ring as yesterday, just stacked with other cabs. I'm so happy I've finally completed my pastel cabochon stacker project!

Really beautiful Mochito. They remind me of bubbles of soft beauty. It’s a wonderful collection of stackers.
 
Wearing these chalcedony disk earrings, along with my large star sapphire ring. It’s early and overcast so there is no star. These pictures are a little washed out on color.

One more with more accurate color....though the bangle changes colors depending on light, as the sapphire does to a lesser extent, In later daylight, the blues in the bangle become more lavender like. This jade is fascinating because it really is an enigma with colors.

And, I just wanted to post this eye candy jadeite disk which I saw. Grade A of course. Isn’t this like a painting of a Stormy sunset sky? Happy Wednesday everyone!

Be still, my heart. What a unique melange of colours and with such a translucent texture!

Love this, snd all your combinations of jadeite and gemstones! Such a fabulous and interesting look. I love sapphire and jadeite together. I think they are an unexpected but wonderful pairing.
 
@mochiko42 Your pastel stackers are gorgeous!

Thank you. I just instinctively reached for the pairing. I'd like to get piece of nice lavender jadeite to match with my pink sapphires next :).... and the wish list grows.
 
Today I'm wearing Izzy, my CVB Isadora emerald. The band is my mother's wedding band. The two together may be a little much, but hey, i love lots o'gold20170929_134944.jpg
I'm on mobile and don't know of this will work...:wavey:

It looks fabulous to me! I love a lot of gold too. The emerald is perfect with yellow gold. What an ancient and rich combination!

Yes, lavender jade would be perfect with your pink sapphires! Especially if you chose a violet hue with more pink rather than more blue. If you bought bluer lavenders, I find that those go with blue sapphires also very nicely. Maybe a little of both! Sigh...the list continues to grow with me too. I have about 5 things which I believe I ‘need’, and about 10 things which I would love to have, and many many more that i hope to have someday lol.
 
This (sad day) is not mine but I got to wear it around the shop. They know where to find me. I have a ring that would be perfect with it.

When I get a new ring I tend to forget about the older ones so I have to sort of force myself to give the older ones some light and the new ones a break! So today...

Incredible ! Did you source the emerald yourself or did cvb do it? It's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely! That’s exactly what happens to me too. I have to force myself to wear the older things and I’ve been ignoring a big part of my collection lol!
