Are you interested in a pendant? I can just totally see this as a bezel pendant incorporating both stones

streamline and sleek

A pendant or necklace is exactly what I had in mind!

Now if I can only hold off until after the holidays. Julia is booked up anyway, so that helps.

 

[chrono]

MTG,
I’m glad the tanzanite made it safely. Wow, the tsavorite looks good in the lotus setting.

 

[tsavvy]

MTG - Your tsavorite looks spectacular. Can''t wait to see more photos

I have this one coming from Julia in about a week''s time

Oh, and I have received four rings from Sally, and a crazy sapphire from Dana. I owe photos big time! Great projects everyone, so fun to read!

MT,
That''s gorgeous!!

MTG,
Love your new tsavorite ring too. It''s cool to see it in silver!! It must be a striking contrast against the green of the stone.

 

[jstarfireb]

Sally sent me a convo to say that my projects are done too...but...

Her computer crashed and she can''t access the pics or put up a listing!!!

That''s SO frustrating! It''s some consolation that shipping won''t be delayed (she was going to ship on Monday regardless). But MAN, that sucks!

 

[Arcadian]

MT - I love that pendant

MTG - thats such a pretty ring. 2 toned rings rawk!
Brandy - Those opals are so lovely

does anyone remember the ring that is an eternity birthstone ring? or who it belongs to? it has all the birthstones of the year except maybe 2 - 4.[its like a family birthstone ring. i am remembering it to resemble a jazz band, except it has alternating round and square cuts... or maybe i am wrong. i know i saw it on PS tho. i dont remember if its in ''colored stones'' or ''show me the ring'' forum.

i''d love to see that thread. i want that to be my next project... after the lavender stone im lookin for. or maybe during, i dont know. but i want an eternity rainbow birthstone ring, so i''d love to find that thread again.... its drivin me nuts lol not being able to find it.

i want a ring like this for a few reasons:
for important family members
cuz on different days or months it centers the body or soul to wear that certain stone
and so i can stare at all the pretty colors at once, since i imagine, the bigger my collection gets, i may run out of fingers and toes to wear them on

cant wait to see that ring again... its so exciting to have a project in the works.
each and every person here is an inspiration. all of your pieces are so beautiful.

Trishy, that aqua is really gorgeous!

some day I''m going to have to have one cut for me.

BTW, if you''re still looking for voilet/purple/lavendar and don''t mind a few inclusions, Ed Bristol has a stone on sale

http://www.wildfishgems.com/inc/sdetail/7082 Its on clearance but may be under the size you want but if its not, it may be worth asking Ed about it. (I just happened to be looking at stones

)

ETA: Here''s a round purple sapph. its got a window which should close when set. color is fab on this http://www.wildfishgems.com/inc/sdetail/11837


Really, I''m just looking.

-A

its funny you should mention these, cuz i was looking at a few of these on wildfish a few days back and i asked for more pics of one, and i asked for a pic on the back of the hand and edward bristol responded saying he''d send a few pics later this week[havent got them just yet] but he said, "please dont make me take pics of these on the back of his hand as skin color is a bad background for this color stone"

so we''ll see what he emails... i asked about this clearance stone... this one isnt actually the color i have looked for i just thought since the stones end up being darker i''d try to see if this may be something. i love the very light tones. which generally arent the most sought after, and therefore cheaper, so lucky me, for now.... but i will get there

cuz i love everyone''s rich colors here. especially those bright stoplight reds, and YES amazing orange spess''s... im getting ba-a-aaaaad!!

i do LOVE the neon purple stones on wildfish.. they just glow purple... like this neon purple one but i cant imagine it would look like this all the time... this looks like a flash doesnt it? does anyone have one like this? it looks so cool!! out of my price range tho

i wish i had an endless supply of gem play money

 

[Lovinggems]

MT & MTG gorgeous pendant and ring!
Can''t wait to see DT''s ring project.

 

[SB621]

My JKT key that I'm having made. I have decided to do the one on the right hand side- except the sun won't be sticking out like it is there. It will fit within the circle. I have also asked JKT to somehow incorporate in 2 or 3 stars by the moon. I kow she will do a great job without making it look to cheesy if you know what I mean! The key will be in gold and argentium silver.

EDIT: sorry this picture is so small

 

[SB621]

My mint asscher from Jeff is done!

The vitals are: 1.49 ct. and 6.5 mm.
Clarity is excellent, with just a couple of inclusions near the girdle that aren''t easily-found. Jeff says, "The photo hints at some brown undertones, and those are NOT there in reality. Maybe the camera was picking up some skin reflection or something. The color is a lovely light mint green."

I have no idea how I''m going to set it yet. Either a bezel set or a simple ring with diamond side stones...probably won''t happen till after the holidays though- bummer!

wow he put the new pics of that stone up and took off the original, and it has a big inclusion in the middle. the original didnt show that as much. but the color is even different. it looked way lighter than it does now. i wish he kept up the original pic with the new ones. very ver interesting tho. that the color changed so much and the inclusion is so prominent. the original picture was more a real life pic as opposed to the macro. very interesting!!! he is super nice

Beautiful stone and pendant design SB, you must do a thread with your whole collection.

Trish I hope you find what you''re looking for, love the eternity band.

I''m finally getting my Malaya garnet ring when I''m back from my holiday from the awesome designer Pal at Pmgart (etsy), and a beautiful antique cushion spinel from the wonderful seller Dana at Mastercutgems, the stone was cut by Dr Gray.

 

[Arcadian]

LG, what a gorgeous ring! I love the design!

I think a lot of the guys here really do try to make sure that any inclusions are noted on their stones, and its because for some it would really bug them a lot. Then there''s folks like me that just don''t care as long as the color is spot on.

The color is really pretty. For myself, as long as the inclusion wasn''t so much of a distraction and/or enhances the beauty of the stone, I would be able to live with it.

The one I have one the way may have too many inclusions to be enjoyable, but, I need to see that for myself. I certainly hope its not as its the color I''ve been looking for!

I''m getting the stone in my avatar set. Very exciting! It''s off to Wink Jones currently, for the ribbon base and a 6 prong solstice head.

hey congrats on getting that beauty set! How have you been Magenta?

 

[T L]

I'm awaiting this 2 carat tsavorite. I'm hoping it won't be too dark, but the price was great due to the inclusions and the native cutting is great. At least I'll have a large one for my collection if I don't set it.

 

[T L]

Also got this 1.5 ct violet spinel, and am awaiting it's arrival. I liked it because it was light in tone which I'm attracted to in spinels, and for a violet spinel, it didn't have as much grey, and it didn't have too much pink. I like that it goes more toward blue. If it turns out like the picture, I'm going to set it. It reminds me of the color of the flowers in the picture at the top of this page.

Looks like an Afghan stone. I highly recommend yellow gold to bring out more of the blue in the stone. Very pretty!!
