Actually, come to find out that what I thought was the back part is actually the front. The ring was absolutely not what I hoped for. It sat about half inch from the finger. I took the shells out and left one, but nope, still looked bad. I feel it much safer on a pendant anyhow. Still...

Finished this setting. i concur. The simulated silver coral looks a bit much. Still figuring it out. Took these pics below in natural light. The other ones were indoors. First one is the back side, which actually I like better.

Toying with some ideas for M.Y. The ring idea did not go as expected.

Indeed, that Gastropod is huge with pearls forming for quite some time. Little yellow is exactly what I was looking for. I not only have fascination for the precious pearls produced, but the entire species of who produce them. All pearls and mollusks. Nature is a marvel. Thank you for all...

The fourth pic is the closest to the color of Melo Yellow. But in different lighting it shows different shades of yellow. Pretty cool pearl. Feels like the conch pearls, like I am touching porcelain. Thank you. I just sent it to you in message.

This is the company that certified Melo Yellow

Yes it is much better looking in person. I tried with and without flash. The actual color is not as light, yellow but leaning to orange as well. I just took some pics but have not really inspected what area I will set exposed. He sent IGI,, or something like that, not home but will check it...

I call her Melo Yellow

Yeah I was not feeling that rhinestone star. Gone. Final setting. Done with this project.

Sure does. It is attractive, even though not necessarily my style. This is why I wanted to keep it more simple, and just added pearls leaving the rhinestone there. The rest of the rings have also rhinestones that appear as water bubbles. These are surrounding the base of the ring. Now the...

Hi there. Yes, you are correct. I did consider pendant because of this dilemma. I just posted on the conch thread. I used B6000 for glueing. She is secure but I made some changes.

I made some changes to the ring setting, and now pearl is more secure. I used a 925 Silver Coral twig as prong setting, reassembled the tiny freshwater pearl rondelles as well. But noticed two little wires right beneath the rhinestone star that drives me nuts. Will work on that. Was on my way...

I’ll get the hang on posting here one day

I hope it’s this one. Supplies arrived today “finally”, that I will make a ring with shell tiers housing Melo Yellow. Have another idea in mind, so will attempt both, and see what happens.

Yikes. Have to find it. Thanks for heads up

Behold. The potential new home for Melo Yellow. Finally received my supplies to embark on a new adventure project.

I just realized you may have the little pearls that are in between and not part of the miniature strand of pearls. No, I had them there holding the strand in place but removing. Also cleaning out some glue gunk residue.

Yes, pearls are in place. I may just leave it as is. It’s already pretty busy looking. The ring had a glass sphere with a pearlescent coating. Pretty, but I purchased ring for the conch pearl to be homed there. I’m not into all that bling, but somehow it worked out.

Almost finished. Setting was more of a mission than I thought would be. But pearl is secure, and visible.
