Such a pretty collection! Can’t wait to see your aquamarine ring when it’s completed.
thank you! Both the stacking ring and the garnet are from Marrow Fine. The designer is really talented and specializes in stackers as well as unique feminine pieces. She is also auctioning a gemstone piece for #blm
Thanks so much! neither can I haha. just to get it to this stage was 3 months wait. the jeweller has been a bit slow, and then there as COVID19.
I cannot wait! I will share once its ready
I am loving that huge iceberg of an aquamarine! Gorgeous color!,
That exact type of hunk is next on my wishlist.
Can’t wait to see it with that amazing undergallery.

thanks so much. It is almost 30ct (around 29.9ct on its certificate). I actually wanted one smaller, around 15-20ct but I couldn't find one with the colour I wanted in that size range. They found this one and brought it in for me. They got a few around 10-15ct which were close to the colour I wanted but weren't right on what I wanted. So its a bit bigger but in the end its turned out pretty well.
i will defo share when i get it back
cant wait to see what you order in. loved your art deco ring you recently shared. something like that is on my wish list haha
we must have similar style xx
this is gorgeous thanks so much for sharing ! totally love your rings!
Probably a bit off-topic, but can anyone tell what kind of gemstone this is? It belonged to my late father and I took it out of my grandmother's safe some years ago. It's several decades old and has some small nicks and the edges slightly chipped. Not sure if that is an indicator of the hardness (I have no idea about gems).
After reading up on gemstone identification I placed it under my gel nail polish UV lamp to check for fluorescence. Then again I think several stones show that kind of fluorescence. I'd go to a jeweller if I didn't have to avoid COVID at all costs (will fly into a country with very strict rules and need to show a negative test result some days before boarding the flight).
From my online research it could be anything from pink/purple ruby, sapphire to spinell, topas, garnet and amethyst (although I believe the latter doesn't fluoresce in red) or tanzanite.
It is much more transparent than in the pics (bad lighting), like glass actually. I assume it isn't glass due to the fluorescence. The ring itself is solid gold judging from the "18K" stamp inside.

Hi @CrackBerryCream. I would love to help you identify this stone but unfortunately I am not an expert or professional gemologist. But based on the look of the stone it may be a spinel or sapphire as you guessed or a tourmaline. But of course we cannot tell exactly. I have a few questions.
1.) Is the stone bicolour?
2.) Is it more of a purple or pink?
Maybe one of our friends from here can help or may have an idea about this.
P.S
I have a gemstone ring from my Grandma which is a bit similar on colour of your one and I'm also not sure what the stone is exactly. ^-^

Thank you! Yes, the stone is bicolour. The tip and two sides have purple edges. The stone overall is more pink than purple actually. The colour changes a bit depending on the light. In candle light it's an intense orange-y pink, in darkness with only my monitor it seems to glow a bit reddish (maybe UV from the monitor)?, in sun and daylight it's a blue-ish pink.
As I had to pick up an official document today for travel soon (which requires a negative COVID test) I figured I could just drop by a jeweller quickly... unfortunately they really can't tell just by looking at the colour and would have to send it off to their gemologist lab, which currently takes around a month due to summer time. I will go back and send it off when I'm back from travelling in August. But would be very happy for hints in the meantime.
The jeweler's first idea was amethyst, but then she said it is unusually pink for an amethyst. She was also surprised at the intensity of the glow under UV light. Then again she can't say whether it's from treatment, naturally etc...
My uneducated assumption right now is bicolour colour changing sapphire (from googling
feel like someone self-diagnosing reading up symptoms...).
Edit: I attached more pics from Sunlight, candlelight, indirect daylight and monitor light... I'm a bit obsessed with it right now

Did you try to ask at the price scope forum? There are some real experts there.Thank you! Yes, the stone is bicolour. The tip and two sides have purple edges.

Purple garnet? It’s difficult to say without holding the stone and looking at it closely. Hope you’ll get your answer from a gemologist
