Hello all,
I am amazed by the gorgeous projects on here.
I ordered my first CS which is on the way to me. Coincidentally, I believe it is the same copper baring tourmaline from Jeff White that SparklieLuvr had first ordered. It was in the last gem scoop from Jeff.

I'm a newbie to all of this but have been reading through everyone's posts for awhile now. I am excited to see it in person but nervous since this is my first gem purchase.
Once I get it in hand I'll start a thread to figure out setting options for my first project.

Welcome!!
The color of your copper baring tourmaline is Gorgeous! The faceting is beautiful!!! Congrats and enjoy!! :love:
 
Congrats! That is lovely. I've been admiring the aquamarines recently. but I think I've used up sparkly shiny money for a while. I'll show repaired rings when I pick up.
 
Here is a blueish/ purpleish (that is a word now) 9.5mm star sapphire from the Natural Sapphire Company. It has a really nice start I just can't seem to get a picture of it. Now I need to figure out how to set it. I was thinking white gold. I am stumped.

Very nice star sapphire Vesper. I think it will have a lot of presence in whatever setting you choose. :)
 
Why thank you! I am really happy with the color. Do you think it needs side stones? I was not sure if baguettes would be overkill.

Thank you. I love the small pink and red spinels too but they are SMALL. I don't even know how to set them but I love the color.

Thanks! No definite plans yet since I have to figure out what type of setting to get.

Thank you! I am a bit tapped out myself for a bit. I find myself really liking the color of the aquamarine stones. Can't wait to see the other rings that you have in your collection.
 
Elle- gorgeous gems! :love:
 
I told myself no more Blue-green stones but after two years of missing Jeff White's Gem Scoop notices, I couldn't resist (yay on his new email service). Definitely a keeper.

I think sidestones or engraving would look really nice.

Here are a couple of images I got off Google.download.jpg images.jpg

Gorgeous vesper.

As an aside, I can't find it now, wasn't there a thread here about the owner or something of the NSC being involved in lies or something??? I read it really briefly but can't find it now so apologies if I got the wrong company!

You lucky wench! You're the one who got that. :mrgreen: I tried for it too but no luck.
It looks even better in your shots! :love:

Ps. Calling dibs, if you're ever crazy enough to sell it.

Elle, those are all beautiful! Do you have ideas in mind already?

Lilmosun, congratulations, it's just gorgeous.

Vesper, I love your new star! Very dreamy.

Burmezedaze, those will make a great necklace. I really like the alternating colors.
 
The sun came out (finally) so I took my TGT sapphire out for a flowery peep show

Vesper, your new star sapphire ring is so lovely! I really like the simplicity of the setting and also how plump and round the stone is. It's like a little berry! So sweet. Congratulations!

Thank you! At first I was thinking more is more but I decided on slightly unusual prongs for interest. I can't keep my eyes off the star!
