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

Waiting for the boys after grocery shopping and admiring my chrysoberyl in shoddy super market lighting. It's such a nice ring to wear out and about! I've always wanted a more casual version of my yellow diamond ring.

Stunning! Not what I would call "casual!" It's a show stopper.

Your ring has given me a new #gemgoal. To hunt for a nice sparkling chryso at the Feb 18 Bangkok Gem Fair!
 
Had on my light coloured long jadeite station necklace today, paired with light green jadeite earrings and a welo opal ring with green flashes.

I'm wearing a new necklace from Yvonne Raley.
The middle is a tsavorite, then demantoids followed by mint garnets.

I'm so glad you were the one who got this Elle! I was just about to buy it during her sale. It's so pretty. I love yellow gold and YR doesn't usually do a lot of ready made stuff in it. Looks amazing with your hair! If I got it I was planning to make earrings to match...;-)

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!

Hi, Sparkle-ruckle, I just love the color of your sapphire! I love to watch the colors in the sunset and look for gemstone colors. Yours is perfect! I know padparascha is supposed mean lotus colors, but to me it means the orangy pinks of the evening sky. You found a beautiful stone! Enjoy it in good health! :love:
 
Thank you for the vote of confidence, @elle_71125 and @Stone Hunter! I will definitely wear it more! It has been sitting dormant in the jewelry box for awhile, as I don't seem to intuitively reach for pink items in recent months.

@MissyBeaucoup , yes! I think of it as sunset colours too, and if I could find a dress in sunset colours, I would probably buy it :lol:! Thank you for liking my humble, little ring too!

Aw, thank you! :kiss2:
You're right about the yellow gold. She does a lot more rose gold IMO. Hmm, earrings...that's a really great idea. :lickout:
 
Out to lunch with the boys.

When we were 19 hubby emptied his savings account (including $2000 he won for performing exceptionally well in high school) and took me ring shopping after he proposed. He was pretty much penniless after that and we lived off my part time waitressing job income and his part time tutoring income while we got ourselves through uni. This was long before the new jewellery additions and pretty coloured stones.

It doesn't come with any certification and probably would get a poor cut grade from GIA but it does sparkle and I wear it often because it's small and easy to wear without worrying about damage.

That is such a sweet, heartwarming and meaningful story behind that ring.
Not small at all!

Black jade and star sapphire under florescent lights.

Just catching up with this thread, what a great combination ! The light seems to do not be good for the sapphire colour - so what I am seeing is a nearly colourless star sappire & black jade, asertive & elegant as few things ever manage at once ...
 
On our way to a late Christmas dinner at our daughter's house, then to a new years eve eve party.

That star sapphire is dreamy! Makes me think of Jean Harlow, she had several, so lovely! :wavey:
 
A little band with alternating emeralds and itsy bitsy diamonds, that I received as a gift (probably not of the best quality but I love the pop of green). It's paired with my diamond band of baguettes and rounds.
