Oh that sapphire!!

 

[NovemberBride]

I am guilty! I bought the green tourmaline cushion and will post pics as soon as I get it. I am not sure what I am going to do with it yet. I love the color, but I am working on the purple ring I posted about earlier for myself, so this may end up as a birthday present for my mom. Although I was also thiking of looking for a yellow stone for her since she has been looking at a lot of them lately, so maybe I will just have to keep the green for myself....

HI:

I am totally jealous! That garnet! That sapphire!!!

cheers--Sharon

 

[Deelight]

OMG those stones are beautiful

I am currently trying to convince FI to buy me both of these for Christmas - but considering the current status of the AUD I don''t like my chances.

Fabulous! Please take pics when you get it! I considered it for about a minute as a pendant, but thought that I''d probably never wear it, because I always forget to change my necklaces.

I''m so glad a PSer got it!

That garnet is gorgeous

Thanks Skippy, bling addict, canuk-gal, Deelight, and MMT - I''ll be sure to post more pictures when the garnet arrives next week.

And Lauren - That sapphire is wonderful.

Has she decided to keep it? I hope that you''ve convinced her not to hold out for an inky blue one with no sparkle.

It''s here and I love it!

More from Barry Bridgestock:

''This picture was taken using a mix of natural and incandescent indoor lighting. I just had
to try it! I didn''t want to use it on the site because I was afraid people would think I was
''photoshopping'' my pictures. Actually, I''m too lazy to learn to ''photoshop'' pictures and I
think they look fakey anyway. If I ever make a gem calendar, this will be one of the pictures used, for sure.''



Look at all those shades of pink and purple! Amazing!

BTW, I got permission from Barry to post his pictures. He says he loves seeing his stones on Pricescope.

Truly AMAZING!! I''m so jealous! Please give us some pics when you get it

 

[stepcutnut]

Skippy-Thanks, I''m really loving the color lots of red/pink flashes

It''s actually the guy I''m helping, and after seeing some additional photos of it, I''d say he''s going to probably pass.

I mean, you can tell the cut is great, but it looks a bit washed out to him and lighter than he was after, and he was looking for something on the level of LS'' gorgeous JW sapphire.

I got my ACS stones today too. The new pair of Tanga garnets and a teeny pair (.44tcw) of Benitoites. Both are really pretty and sparkly.

 

[Kismet]

The garnets by themselves.

 

[Kismet]

And the Benitoites. They look slightly more purple in person.

 

[Kismet]

The new round garnets match almost perfectly a cushion cut tanga garnet (also cut by Barry) which I bought a while ago.

 

[Kismet]

I bought the Benitoites to go with my Tsavorites but I''m wavering a bit on that idea now.

 

[Kismet]

The Tsavorite and Benitoite sitting on their tables so I could position them they way I wanted to.

 

[Kismet]

And my other option for the Benitoites... flanking my blue zircon.

 

[coatimundi_org]

FlyGirl--that garnet is INSANEly lovely!

Tangas and Benitoite?? I am in LOVE! Oh I've wanted a beni for so long! You lucky lady!

Gorgeous gems all around!

Beautiful stone stepcutnut!

 

[FrekeChild]

Kismet - Awesome Benitoites! I keep looking for just the right beni, too. Those are quite lovely, and I''m sure sparkly!

Coati - Thanks on the garnet. I figured something that pretty wouldn''t stick around much longer.

Soooo pretty....
