Hi arjunajane,

You are most welcome. All the eye candy is amazing. The diamonds are so bright in some of these pictures I need my shades.

ha ha, yeah I hear ya - have you seen "the fire thread" ? It's great, but should some with some kinda warning!




I just wanted to post this to show how awesome Gene's faceting is - and anyone who is worried about bezel-ing a garnet like I was -
no need..this stone is just as much fun as before it was set

ok, I'll stop now, I think I'm reaching the photo w***re level...?

 

[Dandi]

Hehe, I'm not really sure! I definitely want something about 10mm (for a pendant), preferably pink but will do pale blue, green or lavender if I can't get pink. I figured Tourmaline and Garnet were good bets because of the range of colours available. Cut wise, I think I am in love with Barry's rounds and supernovas! We'll see what we come up with!

 

[Maisie]

Oh AJ what is it about your rings that I love so much!!! You have an eye for a great stone! Its stunning and so pretty to look at!!!

Wow, 10mm ! I would def. get a pink tourmaline or one of these garnets..I believe Gene still has rough

I adore
the supernova - did you see my beryl ? - I should have that back set before too long

It''s an awesome looking cut..

I''m not a big pink fan - but this garnet won me over. It shows red, purple, pink - all sorts..but most of the time it
looks a royal raspberry pink colour

that ring is TDF!!!!

Hi Rainy, I was just looking at your JM thread again - I adore yours! We should all meet up one day
for a JM playdate, lol..Even after studying pics for days, I had no idea how delicate this ring was going to be
in person - its amazing, I have no idea how he gets that milgrain and all the details so small and perfect!
I thought my ering was thin, but it looks positivey chunky next to this! Did you find the same..?

some flower ones..

The neighbors?

Well now, you just went and got yourself an absolutely outstanding ring missy!

Seriously, sheer perfection in every way, all the way down to the size. I love everything about it. Bravo, well done!

And I had to laugh when you said you matched your polish to the stone, I noticed that!

Lastly, your pictures are phenominal, you really captured the beauty of this stone and setting! Feel free to post 2 or 20 more! And congrats my dear, wear it in good health.

I am good , just buggered trying to get into a new schedule and all.

Melbourne would work for me, I have rellies there and that is where Miss Honey is - maybe the other Aussie gals might not be opposed to some travel - plus the jewellery stores are better .

How''s the search going any luck so far?

hi AJ

i''ve been following my husband round now for 9 years - 3 in england and now 6 in the US. tim works in the financial sector, so we came to NY for business reasons - 3 year stay MAXIMUM! - and of course, 6 years later, here we still are! i do love it here tho, and we plan to stay longer yet; probably only coming back to australia to retire. unless of course i find my perfect ocean front acreage property in Maine...

seriously tho, i think if i''m not home in 5 years my friends wil stage an intervention and come and get me! (i will, however, resist!)

and lady - that ring is something else...

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Love garnets, love 2 tone, love hand made so obviously, I LOVE YOUR RING!!!

 

[geckodani]

OMG! That turned out so beautifully!!! Just gorgeous!

 

[Porridge]

GORGEOUS AJ, and great pics. Wear in good health!

 

[siamese3]
