@missy - That ruby necklace is crazy beautiful.

Thank you LisaRN, Cockatiel, MrsKMB and chatoyancy for the ruby necklace love!

MrsKMB I got this a few years ago from an eBay seller and I cannot remember her name. I will do a search and see if I can find the info for you if you are interested. She is very talented and she is also handicapped and I really loved her pieces. This was not yet made and I got to choose from her parcel and I also remember I got help from a well versed Pricescoper as I did not know much about rubies at the time. Still don't compared to you lovely ladies. I am still a colored gem newbie for sure but I love learning and hanging out here with you and hope y'all don't mind! Gosh was it @minousbijoux who helped me all those years ago? Darn my poor memory grrrr.

Anyway as a gift and total surprise the artist sent me this pair of earrings with the necklace. Wasn't that lovely of her?
I think I shared the earrings in my earring thread for sure. But here they are again. Necklace and earrings in white gold.

Ugh my ears do not look pretty close up but at this stage nothing does so I better just get used to it.:(2
Desensitizing myself by repeated exposure haha.:lol:

Thank you Burmesedaze! I did a search and the seller is no longer on eBay but found her website. Her name is Karen Wickman and she was a dream to do business when I had this necklace custom in 2013. As I wrote I got to pick the gem grade rubies I wanted in the necklace. And I found the emails...@enerchi and @minousbijoux helped me choose! Thank you ladies!

Love the colours on the dress! A ruby necklace would go very well with it (hint to pink bandit ;))

I LOVE your dress @mellowyellowgirl! It's a perfect gem (of a ) dress.:kiss2:

Aww thank you! I discovered green and pink go fairly well together so the pink bandit and I are happy campers! Haha your ruby earrings would have completed my outfit :mrgreen:

@Burmesedaze don't put the idea of ruby beads out there you naughty person!!!!!! Although I was rummaging around my rings and thinking "Hmm I need a hot pink stone to match these flowers on this dress."

Then I quickly shot down the idea knowing very well that one of my green stones will do just fine!
 
Well you could have 1 hot pink stone ring on the left hand and 1 green stone ring on the right.

It's about equilibrium! ;)

I was actually thinking a garnet??? Need the cheapest hot pink I can find....

Actually a vendor in Sydney has a fabulous hot pink toumaline......

NOOOOOOO go away!!!!!!!!! *sprinkles diamond melee to ward you off* *like vampires and garlic* *but diamond melee instead cuz you are the bad enabling gem fairy*

Lol hope I didn't offend you, it's late and I've been on twitter for too long!
 
If you have to have just 1 pink. Pink sapphire, by all means!

Stunning spring colors. You have such an amazbling collection. Colorlicious. :love:
 
It's the weekend! I had on my new jadeite bead necklace paired with jadeite earrings, jadeite ring and a spinel ring. They all go pretty well with the rich colours on my blouse, I thought. Even though they aren't matchy matchy with each other.

I had to double check that it was really you, as you are typically so much more colorful! :mrgreen2: Of course they are beautiful, just unexpected.

I think you’re right! these aresimply different colors for me, (which is why they feel colorful ) since I’m usually in the blue/lavender side of color! Thank you, Minous!

I love both the bangle and the ring very much. The gentle pastel shade looks so good on you!

Thank you, Cockatiel! The blue range of color, including lavender blue and green blue, are my favorite colors. I’m trying to get myself to wear things which I’ve neglected to for a while.

I love pastel shades in jewelry. Especially green, blue, and LAVENDER!!! I have an obsession with the periwinkle-lavender-lilac color range. I feel like that color range is so hard to achieve in gems, especially faceted ones. There is such a narrow range of saturation, and tone, which in combination result in the overall "pastelness". The gems I like which come in that hue, sapphires and spinels, are prone to that gray cast as well, which pushes them towards "steely" and not pastel at all. Jade seems to do the pastels very well, but I don't see me buying jade for myself because they are totally different from faceted gems and I'm too clueless. :lol:

That’s a really good point about pastel faceted stones tending towards a steely look. I imagine sleepy stones are less so, and certainly cabochons do a lot to preserve a soft color glow in stones. Jade can be great for the pastel look, but there is certainly a lot to learn. However, the journey can be fun and challenging in an exciting way.
