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

I wish I could share video because still photos do not capture the beauty of my Cartier Black opal ring. Even video doesn't capture the true beauty but it does a better job than photos. But here you go. What I am wearing today inside cozy and warm on this stormy day. Hope you don't mind the pic overload.

Oh my goodness, this is spectacular! You just caught a rainbow between your fingers!
 
Still the same 'ol three-stone ring with fancy grey-blue diamonds set in pink diamond halos and fancy pink-purple diamond in white diamond halo. But I think it's on one of its best behaviour today and showing off its colours a little better than usual, so here's a photo of it again.

And I'm finding it to be a prettier stack than my engagement ring, when paired with my textured branch-like 14K rose gold wedding band. :lol:

3D9894CE-8ED0-4AF3-BD9A-A4B171BE5884.jpeg Posting this green ring again because I am having fun playing with my new trinity, and the sun is finally out after a wlong el of rain. And the lighting is lovely right now.
 
Just got this today! Newly set 0.96ct pink spinel from Westview Gems in a Stuller setting

I found these emerald studs at a tag sale today. I paid $30 for them. They're 4mm in diameter and are my first emeralds ever. I was pretty sure they were real but I figured at $30, I didn't care one way or the other. I stopped by a local jeweler and he told me they are definitely real. The only other colored stone I've ever owned was a marquis sapphire (my birthstone) ring that my mother bought me when I was a teenager. I sadly lost that ring a long time ago. I'm a real newbie at this, so I'm pretty excited.

A Mahenge Spinel with diamonds. I think this was my second spinel purchase when I first fell in love with them.

My first response was "Oh god, that stone is pretty!!"
It's a gorgeous ring. Wow!!
 
Looks fantastic, @chatoyancy! Love the setting and the yellow gold with that stone.

Thank you Bluegemz! I just wanted plain and gold for this stone. I just reread my post and it makes no sense. Lol! I have no idea what a “relaxing” is. Autocorrect is not my friend. I should have proofread it.
 
I needed some motivation to hit the gym today so I matched my sapphire ring to my Polar monitor :razz:

77EE64DD-4A07-4EBA-B4CE-5C1FE02853FA.jpeg I had my 1.84 carat green tourmaline I bought from Barry Bridgestock set into a relaxing by yesterday at a gem show. The vendors loved the cut. I am wearing it today.

Beautiful tourmaline and beautiful setting!
:love::love::love:

Thank you Missy! I was surprised at how much lighter it looked once it was set. I’m very happy with it.
 
Wearing my new strand of jadeite beads today. Goes well with navy!

Oooh is that the green strand? It looks soooo good on you!

I'm totally appreciating translucency right now!

Yes the pink bandit has a lot of pink shirts and t shirts! And a pink phone case and Apple watch band. He even uses pink wrist wraps when he does martial arts!!!!!

Yes that's the new pale green white strand with nice translucency and a very nice price!

Lol he sounds like the pink bandit indeed! Apt moniker!
 
Your necklace is truly translucent, very beautiful!

I'm also wearing jade today, mine is a bracelet. Vendor couldn't find enough beads of the same size and color so we broke the rules a bit to keep the cost down.

And one of the green beads is chipped a bit (I bought it like that), I meant to replace it one day but got used to it, shall I bother to get a new one?

@Allgems ooohhh I love the greyish blue ones. They are like bigger versions of my grey blue jade necklace! With more even colouring!

Yes I think the green shouldn't be too difficult to replace. Some think that once jadeite is chipped, they lose their protective powers!
