LG - I do like your ring. I think it has an organic look to it and it reminds me of a flower bud.

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.

TL - you have 2 stones on the way, you lucky thing and they both look great. Do tell us what you think when they arrive.

That it is. I''ve been wanting a tourmaline that''s blue green FOREVER (I told Barry like 6 months ago I wanted a tourm that was similar to the color of my eyes...) and he finally found one. Should be here in about 2 days.

It''s an amethyst from Dan! I already have a setting in the works for it - super excited!

The blue one is an aqua from Barry. That should be arriving on Thur. or so.

Author: D&T >hey congrats on getting that beauty set! How have you been Magenta?

Busy, unfortunately, so have been hiding in the lurkers cupboard. I can''t wait to see what it looks like when it''s done - Wink received it today, and says "WOW!"

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Wahoo! Picked up my tsav lotus from Jstar! And it''s ever bit as mesmerizing as I remember it being! Unfortunately, it doesn''t really stack well with my pad lotus since it''s such a light, pastel color and gets washed out next to the super saturated tsavorite. Ah well, I"ll just have to grow more fingers, no problemo.

Will post picks later when I get home

I hate waiting

and I''ve got 3 things arriving (hopefully soon).

This blue/purple Sapphire 1.07ct. There''s just something about this colour that pulled me to whip out the credit card:

 

[LD]

I was then looking for a Sphene for a friend and ........... found this ............. and ............ oh dear me, it''s mine! Again, it was the colour.

3.99ct cushion, step cut, almost eye clean:

 

[FrekeChild]

Feldgrau and the blue-green at the top should be here today...

[brandy_z28]

Thank you Brandy. Is yours a Ruby? It looks very like the Ruby Gene had on his website.
