a GREEN thread!

My first mint garnet! It’s a wonderful Portuguese cut- 6mm but powerful sparkle. Also an amazing 7mm emerald like Tourmaline. . And incoming! I have too many greens :lol-2:

Thats a lovely stone! I'm such a sucker for green garnets - seems I can never buy enough!

No such thing as enough green :) garnets in particular shine like diamonds!

Here’s another tourmaline on the way.

WOW @Gemobsessed you are really finding some nice stones. Those tourmalines are Fab!

Thank you so much. That is a wonderful compliment! I’m managing to find good stuff now because of a lot of obsession with great vendors and because I’m taking risks by buying rough and commissioning stones! Been lucky so far, trying to make the most of what I am learning :)

Aww thank you! That's not a great pic of it. This one is better.

Even more mystical!! I really, really love it!! Did you have the vision for putting it all together? It is wildly creative.

No, no vision, lol. I found it this way in the estate section of a jewelry store that used to be on Sanibel Island. It even came with the DBY chain so I definitely couldn't pass it up.
 
No, you could not! What a find! If you told me you put it together I was going to plead with you to design something for me!
I know just where Sanibel is. I am on the other side! And a cat mom to 2 as well. I had a high of 6 at one point. That was possibly (possibly) too many. Though I do think 3 is the perfect number and am working on my DH to agree. Our boy is quite the loveable rogue though, and which word I emphasize depends on what he is up to.
 
Malachite necklace from the 1930s:

Jade version of the necklace:

This style of necklace is so flattering. I have several versions in different stones and colors; these are my green ones. The jade is a family heirloom.
 
I know this is PS and gems are the name of the game but may I add some other type of green? :)

And will add my Cartier black opal too in her "green" mood. She is a very moody girl and changes colors often
