@Sparkle_ruckle I love the colors of your FCDs. Could you share more details on the stones? Please start a thread if you haven't already!

A couple of recent choices. Aquaprase and tourmaline.

These are STUNNING! Who set your Aquaprase? Ah I read further and see that Sally HOW set it. Did you get the cab first and then send it on to her? I hate sending things like this through the mail, but am thinking about it for my next setting.
 
Ruby and diamond lion stickpin ring with demantoid and garnet dragon ring and ruby stickpin snake ring. I bought the lion and snake as stick pins and had them converted by my local jeweler! 24k bangle.20171208_171553_HDR.jpg 20171208_171347_HDR.jpg
Also my sapphire and wedding set.20171208_171253_HDR.jpg

WONDERFUL collection. Now I will look at stick pins and see an opportunity.
 
Today’s colored stone was Tanzanite. I wish I could capture it’s color in my photos.

Thank u, Mochiko42 for liking my ring! I'm honoured, having it come from someone with such beautiful pieces and impeccable taste! Sure, I'll find some time to post in the near future.
 
I'm not sure if it's the "time of the year Xmas" thing, but I find myself more partial lately towards coloured stones for my outfits. Here's an unheated blue sapphire ring of mine in a cushion halo. Actually, the halo was made as a semi mount and I wanted an oval, but due to some miscommunication with the vendor, I ended with this lolz. And I decided to keep it after all.

I love the color of your tanzanite with the yellow gold setting. Gorgeous!
 
I feel old enough to wear mismatched rings on adjacent fingers...more like old enough not to care what people think :lol:

(Tanzanite and labradorite)

@elle_71125 Big Blue is gorgeous and looks so large on your finger. Excellent finger coverage! How many carats was it?

Thank you! This is the closest I've gotten to capturing it's true color.
 
I'm wearing this little orangish-pink sapphire number today, which was sold to me by The Natural Sapphire Company, pre-Pricescope, as a padparadscha sapphire. I must say I have my doubts now, especially post-PS, after comparing it against jaw-droppingly beautiful and certified padparadschas some of you lovely ladies own. Would any knowledgeable pricescoper be able to chip in on this? Or would it only be definitive if I send it to GIA etc. for re-certification?

Anyway, this is the first piece of jewelry I bought after starting work and saving up for it, so it is a sentimental piece for keeping. It shows more orange in certain lighting conditions, but it's awfully hard to photograph.

Thanks again for looking and have a very blessed and Merry Christmas, everyone!

I think the only way to know for sure would be sending it in for testing. You're planning on keeping it anyway so the expense would be solely for peace of mind. Personally, I wouldn't bother. I think it's an absolutely beautiful color and that the setting is just gorgeous! :kiss2:
 
@Burmesedaze what is your favourite gem colour? Humor me! If someone cast a spell that allowed you to only buy ONE kind of colour for gems from now on (in different hues of course) what would it be?
