Your pieces are beautiful! Can we have some more info? Also I like it as a pendant have to say.
I'm not posting as I only have one, il come back to post on this thread in 5 years!
@Gemobsessed : fabulous pieces!!! beautiful colors and settings. I love your pendant by the way! I would leave it as is.
@meely : the number of 5 is the maximum. Please share your number 1 favourite now...
Thanks for your kind words. What would have been your top 5 of my pieces?
Gorgeous!!! I love how you have played with CS melee. Stunning colour play in your rings. And I love how Yvonne creates such beautiful floral inspired pieces
From left to right: Cleo ring in RG with Paraiba and Hauynite, Camellia ring in RG with lagoon tourmaline, mint garnet and hauynite, Gatsby ring in platinum with Tsavorite, Paraiba and hauynite, antique halo ring in platinum with light blue sapphire and diamond melee and lastly, Lily ring in WG with Paraiba cab, lavender sapphire and hauynite. All by Yvonne Raley, of course
Yum! Looking forward to see your new pieces
Thank you so much, Acinom I agree that her floral collection is inspired. Her pieces provide a nice touch of luxury to my casual retirement wardrobeGorgeous!!!

Ok I’ll add in my favorite but it was hard to narrow down because I love them all for various reasons.i realize that I don’t have a huge color range in rings...mostly blues, blue/purples, and greens.
First is an aquamarine and 18k white gold and diamond ring. It is a part of a set with earrings which came from a generations old jeweler in Rome. What I love about it is the size and the style.
Next is my Colombian emerald ring with diamonds and 18k gold. Emeralds look terrible in my pics, so this does not capture the true color vividness of the stone. I haven’t gotten around to repairing two prongs on it yet.
Next is a handmade ring for a Brazilian topaz. I call it my ‘shard’ ring, and I love the soft colors and setting contrasted with the dramatic, sharp shape.
This doesn’t count really, but it’s my E ring, a mid toned Ceylon sapphire.
Finally, my 2 star sapphire rings. The large one is an Art Deco piece. This is my favorite because of the diamond work and size, though the other is more ‘perfect’. I just LOVE star stones.
I’m so glad you started this thread! Here are my 5 prettiest CS rings (in my opinion, of course).
1. My paraiba ring with a pink spinel halo in a David Klass setting. Nothing beats a paraiba in my book. That beautiful glowing Caribbean water vibe. I adore the contrast between the pink and the turquoise. I wear this one a lot!
2. My newest David Klass creation is also one of my prettiest. A bright green tsavorite in a unique floral halo. The green just pops in person and is a real stand out in my collection.
3. Teal tourmaline ring by David Klass. I love the color of this tourmaline. The perfect mix of blue and green. It was one of my first purchases and I had David set it in almost a full carat of diamonds. It’s gorgeously blingy.
4. My Mahenge spinel ring from CvB Inspired Designs. The Sienna solitaire is just perfection. It’s so light and delicate but with so many small details. Plus, it has that 3ct mahenge going for it.
5. My David Klass paraiba ring. This is truly a work of art. Just a lot of glowy goodness. I am crazy about this ring and I’m so grateful to @SparkliesLuver for giving her permission to use the design.
Love this time of year, when the sun actually comes out! I still haven’t set some of my favourite stones, but I think these are my current top 5 rings.
Mahenge spinel set by my hubby, spess garnet from Prima in a copy of miraclesrule’s ring, heated Burmese ruby ring, violet sapphire and emerald both from Gene in settings by DK (one designed by Elle at TGP, one by me).
I love pendants but I get that not everyone does! Think of it as getting more bling on when you run out of finger estate! Looking forward to seeing your tourmalines!
Thank you, Meely! Much appreciated. It is very frustrating trying to capture the emerald on photo...I have heard others complain of this also. I have no idea why. The stone is richer and more saturated and the green is a bit different, maybe a touch more blue rather than yellow green in life, but this is the closest representation I could get.Gorgeous rings but gosh if that's a bad photo of your emerald it must be absolutely amazing in person!

I’m shocked big blue didn’t make the top 5!
I know. It was a really tough decision. I guess that means it would have been on your top 5 then.
Wow!! Such lively and vibrant pieces. I love your preference for pink and your choice of settings.This is so fun, I love seeing all the beautiful jewels.
Here are mine, obviously I have a color preference lol!
1. Pink sapphire in white gold Daisy ring from Julia B.
2. Mahenge Spinel in scalloped setting by Yvonne Raley.
3. Antique pink sapphire and OMC diamond starburst pin/pendant in rose gold.
4. Art Deco platinum pink sapphire ring with single cut diamonds (the two rings are soldered together)
Side note, I'm going to reset the mahenge next year since the setting has oxidized on me, apparently I can't wear silver!
Oh yes, but I do see you’re spoil for choice there! Would you mind sharing where you got the blue tourmaline with the big diamonds halo that did make it to your top 5? One of earlier pieces I think before we e-met each other

Elle, I lust after your Paraiba rings whenever I see them, so gorgeous! Love the Mahenge spinel and the new tsavorite ring too
