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

I LOVE all these oranges and yellows... I don't have a single orange or yellow ring but looking at these makes me want one!

Usually my pink spinel looks really pink but for whatever reason today in the hardware store it looked more reddish, even though the light didn't seem warm:

Hehe I tried to wear two rings on one hand like you ladies but I don't actually have a ring that fits my index finger so it just looked really weird.

Star sapphire in the morning light. Last 2 with alternative light source. Most of the time in daylight, it is the lighter blue, as in the top parts of it pictured. It does tend to shift to slightly lavender in some lights.

@Bluegemz that is such a lovely ring.
Thank you, @suzanne2, for the compliment. This ring fulfills many CS ring desires which I had, all in one. Frex, when the star isn’t showing, it can be moonstone like, sometimes aquamarine like, and it goes everything. I discovered when I got it, that the domes in cabochons bend the light paths in such an interesting manner. A gem can have many moods, depending on the light. I think that this was my first translucent cabochon in a ring ever, and now I’m a huge fan!

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!

ETA. Is that spring flower fabric, from your Valentine's day pic, a dress? Because I just love that!!

A shop in Chinatown in Sydney Australia. They sell some really pretty stuff in very pretty designs if you're not too fussed about the cut of the diamonds (diamonds are lovely and sparkly but not super idea H&A if you know what I mean)!

Here you go, I dug up a full pic of the dress for you. This is from another time not the day I wore the necklace. The dress has pockets!!!!

Revisiting a few old pieces.

Garnet, spinel and ruby.

Is the bigger stone the garnet? I like the halo on that!!! We should sit around and form a club! "Creative Ways to Halo"

Hehe I have so many green dresses!!! Or dresses with green bits in them! Somewhere along the way I ceased caring about whether I actually look good in green! Just kept wearing it! :lol:

You look beautiful! Love the dress! :kiss2:
I'd love the necklace even if it was a $15 cz necklace. That snowflake is just perfect in my eyes.

Very elegant! I love how it looks on your hand. It's not too often that you see a marquise CS. Thanks for sharing!

Thankyou! The extreme cut and thinness of the stone is why I had to have it. I just have to be careful not to stab myself with it.
 
Great ring. Such beautiful hands and fingers/nails!

cheers--Sharon
Thanks, Sharon. Hands really tell a story about a life lived. Though, I admit that I’ve become more insecure about them as Ive gotten older, even though I admire older hands on others very much.

I love love love this ring! I have a pic saved and I was looking at it just yesterday. Didn't you say it's an imperial topaz?

Thank you Suzzane! It was advertised as an imperial topaz, but if it is, it’s barely. It’s more of a pink and purple color, with a touch of peach. I would say it’s a pink topaz. Upon receiving it, I loved the color ( it can be very bright and fresh in daylight) and especially the design, so I kept it anyway.
