I *may* have asked for a tennis bracelet for Christmas & I *may* have an appointment late this week to view different carat weights….. :Up_to_something:

Oooh, exciting! Take pics for us in different weights if possible!!
 
Waiting for this in the mail. It’s a yellow sapphire trillion for my rainbow stacker set. These photos make it appear more orange than yellow…I hope there is enough of a difference between this and my spess ring!

Loveeeeeeee the sapphire ring!!! That’s beautiful! Are they rose cuts on the halo? I’ve warmed up to blues these days!

That necklace is a piece of art!!! Haha I’d love to see it with a pusheen T shirt :lol-2:

Re costume jewellery: one of my favourite things is to ask my husband whether my stuff can pass off as a purchase from AliExpress/TaoBao

Hubby: Why are we paying so much for you to pretend you’re wearing mossanite from AliExpress?

Next time I go to the shop I shall wear a Pushern shirt and take a pic!
The exchange with your husband is so cute! We need patient guys to put up with our gem acquisitions!
 
Just received the ring- it is definitely yellow!

I also got the wax for my next project! This is the largest gem I have…so seeing it on my finger helps a lot.

In the process of creating a yellow sapphire pendant with David Klass using some of my late Mother’s jewelry. I’m excited about that and its sentimentality.IMG_9473.png

I love celestial-themed pieces. This looks like it's going to be beautiful.
 
These 2 stones, a 7.08mm pink Sapphire sourced and re-cut by Jeff W, and a 9mm Asscher cut blue Zircon also cut by Jeff, are currently being set.

Purchased the Graff butterfly climber earrings yesterday - love how inverting it could look like a bunch of Ixora flowers flowing down!

I love these! Their wildflower line is great too!
 
For years, I have had the idea of buying a 2-3 carat range, faceted and unheated, blue Sri Lanka sapphire. I envisioned one as close to a cornflower blue as possible. I found a smaller stone in the 1 carat range that is virtually the exact same dimensions as one of my Old European cut diamonds, down to the millimeter. The sapphire is probably too cold and light for a connoisseur cornflower color: it shifts to and from gray and violet tones, but the color it has never darkens to nearly black or navy blue either. I would not call the color pastel so perhaps it is in the light end of what some in the trade would consider cornflower range. Since it is identifiably blue and sparkly without zoning lines I'm leaning towards keeping it and making a ring pairing with the OEC. :)

Ooh, such lovely colours and beautiful cuts. Will they be set together or separately @dk168 ?

I like the blue @asterismdispersion . The two stones go nicely together.

They are so lovely, @higanbanya . Yes, they remind of me ixora and butterflies:kiss2:. I would wear one upwards and the other downwards just for fun

Awww thank you!! We didn’t really explore the wildflower line this time, but will definitely do next time!
 
Found a 50 percent preloved sale, so all of these colored gemstone rings came home with me! I don’t plan to wear them like this, obviously, lol.

I love anything hexagon so I’m super envious of your ruby hexagon band! So pretty.

My wishlist item for 2024 (meaning I will buy it, once I settle on a metal color) is this: https://www.ourosjewels.com/products/hexagonal-wedding-band?variant=41134801584312

I haven’t seen an earth mined version like it, so I hope it’s ok to post it here. It isn’t this specific ring I want, just the style. :)
 
tomato, I love all of those, I'd buy the eternity, the 3 stone, all of them.
I see less of Vijay of Ouros on Etsy, maybe this new site has his attention. I hope this will be productive and show his talent.

I am waiting on a pair of kite cut studs from him, that seem like they’ll be the perfect little size for the second hole in my ears!
