^LOL...that's my favorite too!!! I'm thinking the head of the setting should be in RG with the shank in WG.

I generally prefer my rings to have as few diamond accents as possible. I'd rather put the majority of my money into the center stone.

I love the simplicity of the setting. it will really show your spinel off. plus, like you said, all of the light that will be allowed into the stone. I have quite a few earrings in similar settings, & I really do like that double-prong look a lot. I can't wait to see what you decide to do![/QUOTE

I have a diamond cluster ring that I found in a parking lot when I was 6 and it has been sitting in my jewellery box ever since...I might send that ring to the jeweller with the spinel and do a few diamonds on the band just for a touch of sparkle. hmmm decisions decisions... the good thing is I have a week or so to decide before the spinel arrives:idea:
 
^I think black diamonds are fab. I only have 1 ring with a few black diamonds. I think hoops paved with black diamonds would be spectacular.

what type of black diamond jewelry were you interested in?
 
Paved hoops with blackdiamonds sound divine. I just had a nice big black onyx ring made with a rose gold setting and its is so cool. I wonder if a halo of paved black diamonds would work with the spinel.
 
Dialv- that sounds really cool! the only thing i would be worried about is enclosing the spinel in metal, it's already a medium tone and i'm scared that halo-ing it would darken the colour....hmm...
I just got prices back for the settings, i'm looking at 90$ for the silver setting and 340 for 14k RG
 
no I think what I would do is take the diamonds out of the cluster ring and put them in the rg setting for the spinel:smile1:
^ah, I see...

^do you mean with a black spinel? or with candice's pink one? I like black with black AND pink with black, so it's a win-win for me as an observer :graucho:

^sorry bud...you gotta go RG!!!
 
Your right save the black diamonds for another ring. Rose gold sounds great. i just had a nice big square onyx set in a rose gold band and I am starting to wish my love bracelet was rg instead of yg.
 
Ooh lala! There is a Jewelry lovers chit chat thread! Where was I all that time?

2 new pieces just arrived! Nothing fancy, just colored gems on SS, but I think they are so cute! A citrine ring for my grandmother and a pair of green amethyst earrings for me!
I'm leaving to take the ring to her I have so much stress over the size I was taking measurements and stressing about the size for the longest time!

Dialv, I want pics of that fab onyx ring!

I want a black diamond pinky ring for the longest time, I want something simple, a round small stone on silver or wg band. I think I should take the plunge.
 
^definitely do...I'd love to see what you choose in black diamonds. there's always a micropave eternity to stack plus matching hoops :whistle:

I've been looking at green amethyst earrings myself! what do yours look like? oval? round? what size? my standard for studs is 8mm round. I'm not sure if I want that in the green. I've also been thinking about purple amethyst studs since I have my new ring. I already have purple sapphire though, so I'm not sure I really need both.
 
I really like the 3rd stellar setting! I know I dont want diamonds on this ring, all my other settings have pave and i want this one to be very clean lined, simple. I already pm'd you but here's the setting I was thinking of doing: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59754947/amethyst-u-prong-ring
its very open so it will let lots of light in from the bottom for maximum sparkle. picture it in rose gold...
This setting would look stunning in RG...love the simplicity and the double prongs. Your stone will be the center of attention.
I just had my tennis bracelet checked, for insurance, plus my security chain broke. It's being sent away...2 lose diamonds, check the setting and they'll re-plate it. Should look brand new. But I feel naked!!!
Bad news (or good, depending) the bracelet had gone up, in price, and I have to have my insurance adjusted.
 
^sounds like good news to me!

so you wear your bracelet every day? with your watch? I love that look, but I'm not sure I could do it. sometimes the feel of jewelry can really annoy me...especially in the summer. what color gold is your tennis bracelet?
