Thank you! I will try taking more pictures of it, I only snapped a group shot quickly.

Thank you! Love all your rings too!

three green stones, received them last year. Took me so long to share them
tsavorite recut by Jerry from 1.6ct to 1.3ct, it is as bright and shiny as tsavorite can be and holds its beauty compare to my Gene tsavy so I set it in PT and a big halo, you have seen the emerald before, small demantoid I obtained a few years ago in custom 18k WG setting. I copied diamondzone's style but didn't purchase from them.

Spectacular rings! That tsav is really beautiful. I love how you've set it. Love the emerald as well

OTL those are all amazing!! I especially adore the pave on the halo with the tsav. Such great setting choices

wow...I will be dreaming green from your pictures OTL

Thank you for the nice comments!

Wow! OTL your three green rings are stunningly beautiful. I would love to have any of them but I especially like the traditional Emerald one with the baguette diamonds. Lovely! How do you choose which one to wear?

Actually I'm not wearing any rings lately...I just had a new born baby and with the current hand washing needs/increased finger size, these are getting uncomfortable to wear all the time.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Here's my sapphire! Absolutely beautiful, I have NO idea how to set it. Maybe an E/W rose gold bezel?




Forgive my photos, I'm new at this!

So lovely!

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I've just received a couple new tourmalines, from Jason Brim.

One is a 3.03ct light green / minty color. Dimensions: 8.7 x 7.9 x 6


The other is a 2.3ct darker green blue (a bit more green at the edges)


I'm also adding in a shot of them together (along with the teal tourmaline I got recently). Boy, oh boy, was it tough to get a shot that flattered all of them (honestly, my teal tourmaline is a little underwhelming in this picture).


I haven't decided if I want to keep both of the new ones. I really want to start setting some stuff this year so I am trying to be more discerning. I like the minty green but feel like it can wash out a bit in some lighting. The darker green has such fun color (and who doesn't love the shape) but there are some inclusions, in one corner, that I'm not sure about.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

elle_71125 I love your tourmalines!! Did you decide to keep them?

I have two new acquisitions. A 2.57ct tanzanite from Precision Gem, 8.5x6.7 and a 1.8ct seafoam tourmaline from Jeff White, 7x7.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Amazing stones Arabella! Fabulous colour and cutting.
Any ideas on how you will set your stones?

 

[Lovinggems]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I love the sea foam tourmaline Arabella, the Tanzanite is also beautiful.

 

[elle_71125]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Arabella, on some serious reflection, I am pretty sure I'll be sending back the green tourmaline (emerald cut). It's really beautiful but I'm not in love with it so back it goes (I'm trying to get some gems set this year otherwise I would be keeping it).

I love both your new gems but that tourmaline...wowza!
The color is gorgeous. Did you have that done as a custom piece?

wow so lovley. I have asked Jeff about these seafoam materials before. I decided to pass because I thought they are a bit faint to me. But now after seeing your picture, I am so regretful! I should have taken one of those.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Arabella - love the color play on both the tourmaline and tanzi

 

[arabella]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thank you everyone for the nice words!!

Acinom, I'm not sure yet on setting. I'm not in any rush...I'm having fun checking things off my list for the time being. I have plenty of ideas though!!

I understand about thinking a stone is beautiful but not loving it enough to keep it... It's a hard decision! I did custom order the tourmaline. At the time I ordered it I was having a difficult time finding the color I had in mind, and Jeff got back to me with pretty much the exact color I wanted, so obviously I had to say yes

I know exactly what you mean. I did have some worry that it was going to be too light/not saturated enough, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it. Obviously indirect sunlight is where it looks the best, but even in very diffused sunlight it still looks nice. It can wash out a bit sometimes, but it is always very pretty. Maybe he still has some more rough...

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Elle- pretty gems! Your teal makes me swoon.

Arabella, your new gems are lovely. The mint appears to be so lively and bright, the tanzanite is lovely. Great size, and I think, a gorgeous color and cut! I am coveting a tanzanite but it will be a while before I could take the plunge.

 

[minousbijoux]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I love the color of the tanzanite in the outside, indirect bright light photo. Wow, just wow. That is one of those colors that's like chocolate to me - no matter how much I already have, I want more every time I see it...

 

[pregcurious]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Arabella, those are both lovely stones. Would you consider rose gold for the tanzanite? It would help bring out the blue in it.

Oh yes-- same here!! I wish it looked like that all of the time, but the color it shifts to inside is very pretty to me too.

pregcurious, yes, I was thinking rose gold for whenever it comes time to set this one [emoji4]

apacherose, thank you!
