Had a 1.5-2ct-ish pink tourmaline in its box for years, finally found the right setting. I'm still waiting on it but so excited! Heidi Gibson setting with diamonds and white sapphires in YG.

I also just received a ring from my now fiance last week and so I am loving all the new shiny things! :D

It’s here! Just thinking what type setting:D

That is one dark and mysterious looking stone. Very pretty! :love:
What's the setting in the second to last pic? I think it would look pretty in one like that...or with a diamond halo (because I'm crazy about halos).:lickout:

Thanks, elle! It’s CvB Zoe. I have to ask of my jeweler if stone fits. Another option is six prong yellow gold solitaire.

Found a ridiculously beautiful setting now for this and I cannot stop dreaming, :)

That setting is heart-stoppingly gorgeous! I love the almost art deco look of it. Simply gorgeous.
 
I have purchased this 2.08 ct Umbalite Garnet from Jeff Davies...now the wait begins. I've never ordered from him before and don't know how the stone will compare to his photo of it. I am hoping for fuchsia, a variation of pink/purple.

:love: Absolutely love this! Wow. Can't wait to see your pictures! May I ask where it's from?

It’s cut by Troy Richardson of excess designs but he didn’t sell it to me. It was a commissioned piece by another gem lover and she was ok to sell it and I just jumped on the opportunity. Troy took some amazing pics for me though. He’s an expert photographer, his pics are really artistic. Here are the pics he took.
 
Someone got the 2ct Mahenge garnet on Jeff Davies website that I had been looking at...it was round, $295 I think and such a gorgeous pink. I hope it's someone here and they post pics of it!!
 
@Gemobsessed That looks like a really nice cut! What's the size on it and will you be setting it?

@jewelsforalltosee That's too bad. Something else will become available for you.
 
@Stone Hunter It's probably for the best, I really didn't need to be buying it :P but I would love to appreciate it if someone on PS picked it up!

Omg, such gorgeous rings in this thread. I thought it would be fun to wear my garish huge moonstone today. It's very colorful, reminds me of an opal in some ways.

ETA: I meant to post this in the "what are you wearing" thread. Oooops.

It’s beautiful! It’s looks nicekyvsaturated. I have a pair a little lighter from him. It should be super sparkly. I was shocked at how long mine took to get to me (over 3 weeks).

Thanks chatoyancy! I expect it to take the full 3 weeks. I am excited about owning something that's such a different shape.

It’s 1.3 carat and 7 by 5.5 mm and I think I may set it next year. I have bought many a rough of tourmaline to get cut so I want to see how they turn out first.
