    #JOTW My PEARlicious 3.01 F VS1 ring

    Happy new year to you all! After many trial and errors I finally have my dream diamond and setting.

    #JOTW Custom Cut Diamond Pendant by Mark Turnowski

    For quite some time, I have been pondering what to do with a beautiful emerald cut diamond ring my Grandmother gave me. The stone is just over 1 carat, VS2, I-J in color, and it is beautifully cut. I never wore it, and it made me sad to have it locked away in a box. Thank you to all the...

    #JOTW I have a confession to make-- I’ve been a very "paaad" girl! Thanks to The Gemstone Project’s ElleW…

    …. who made an incredible ring for me! Really, I had no business buying a padparadscha sapphire in the first place. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before Price Scope! But I wanted one! Sapphire’s my birthstone and oh, how I love all shades of pink! And orange—I really like orange, too...
