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

Since we are on the topic of chipped stones, I uncovered a long chip on my spinel ring too. It's a flat stone so I must have knocked it against some hard surface and not realise that it had chipped

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

I love those settings @Burmesedaze! They look so good!

@Cockatiel if it makes you feel better the chip is super hard to find! You poor thing!

@chatoyancy definitely wearing the bangle!!! Still wondering if I should just eat a buffet in the tight red dress and then let my gut hang lol!

You ladies are giving me a complex with your spinel chipping!!!! I thought they were supposed to be tough!!!!!

A Malaya garnet from Barry set in an inexpensive temporary setting.

I love the colour of your garnet - slightly dusky and sultry. Beautiful!

It's not a ring I wear daily at that.

Oh no! It’s such a pretty ring.

May I ask you, is it a setting from Ivy and Rose/My Diamond Zone? I think I’m eyeing the same setting. What size is the spinel?

It's from the HK jewellers that visit here, but I won't be surprised if the design is found elsewhere too

About 1.8 ct iirc.

Thank you! This is the setting I was considering:

I think it looks quite similar!

Out to my early Valentine's Day buffet. I'm cheap
and don't go to dinner on the day because they charge more for a crappy menu.

My chrysoberyl is crazy. It can stand up to the Whiteflash ACA stones in terms of sparkle! Such an underrated CS!

Looking good in all that bling!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Wore it with this necklace! Been making a conscious effort not to be lazy and to change necklaces or at least put one on!

Sorry it's not a coloured stone but I like sharing with my coloured stone peeps best!

I just bought a medium pink spinel and I intend to have it set in a ring. Other than a small sapphire I already have set in a stacking ring, I don’t have any pink stones I can set in an every day ring. I’m disappointed for you and for me.

It’s feminine, delicate and lovely!

Your chrysoberyl is gorgeous! The setting is giving me ideas. The stone looks quite large. Mine is only a little over 2 carats. My husband and I never go on the night because the crowds are crazy.

Very nice. Is that a supernova oval?

No idea but I googled supernova oval and it kinda looks like that! This was the original picture from JD.

Thanks! On an unrelated note, I still can't quite figure out how to read JD's pictures. Your stone looks a lot more "crystal" than I would have expected!

ooh what is "crystal"?

My three other stones look pretty much like the pictures a bit darker or lighter depending on lighting in the room.

This one actually doesn't have much green in it and the only hint of maybe green I sort of see is when it goes a lighter lemon yellow. Even then there is no obvious green. Looks like just ripen lemon skin if that makes sense. hehe I like yellow and loved green so I figure I was going to be ok with this one.

I meant it looks clearer and more sparkly than I expected!

 

[Stone Hunter]

UGH so so sorry. Tile floors are hard. I can barely see the damage, maybe it can be polished out?

 

[Stone Hunter]

@Burmesedaze So sorry about your spinel's chip! eek!

@mellowyellowgirl GREAT new bracelet and it looks FAB with your ring and lovely necklace.

 

[Cockatiel]

Nah I am gonna leave it as is. It's chipped right at the junction between the table and a star facet. Too scared to unset it and reset it....

Sorry, I just saw this! Here you go. The 2.17 carat chrysoberyl is greenish yellow, but I think the earrings have more green in them. Unfortunately, it is cloudy here and I can’t take good photos.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

@chatoyancy I LOVE THEM!!!! You got a good bit of green in yours!!!!! Lucky!

That is one of the prettiest amethysts I’ve seen! It’s my birthstone too

Thank you! I can’t stop staring at it! I had the choice to go up one more grade in quality (heirloom), but it was really dark, and I wanted it to look a little bit purple. Lol!
What day is your birthday?

 

[chatoyancy]

My baby

That is a cool ring! What kind of stone is that?
