TL-yup that was me! I also purchased the same lovely blue/green touramline cushion as SS!!! It was my birthday present!!! At least I get to enjoy pics from a PSer(congrats SS)! But this is the 2nd time that has happened to me with Barry's site-honestly I am really sick of it!!! Really sucks actually! He needs to fix that glitch, if he doesn't he's going to have a lot of pissed off customers!

It's even worse with Gene's site. It won't even mark as sold if it sells (Gene has to note it later), and he doesn't realize how that pisses people off.

Happy birthday!!

 

[stepcutnut]

Thanks for the birthday wishes-still a few days to go until the big day!!! And Chrono-yes it is true, if you need proof I can show you my birth
certificate or have you speak with my mother and have her recount the entire day if you wish

No, no proof needed. I only thought I was mistaken and a very poor choice of words on my part. I'm not doubting you at all.

Among my various projects underway, I have an interesting test going on. A ebay seller is making a complete custom setting for me - really excited to see if it will turn out like I envision. This setting will be for an octangon by Barry.

I also have a custom setting being made for a cushion shape tsavorite but haven''t had time to send the stones to the setter

Some progress pics from Julia

Ok...does anyone else think of the 50's flip hairdos when they see this? Lol. I asked Julia if we could make it thinner...

Nothing is soldered yet, much less finished. So everything is still very changeable I like that she updates and checks in so frequently on everything. I'm hoping the finished pendant will be a stunner!

 

[D&T]

MTG- Oh my word! you need to start a thread for these... they are absolutely stunning!

ETA: the work in progress anyways

And this:


ETA: That bright lavendar/pink Mozambique tourmaline has been on his site for awhile - I had a hard time choosing, but got this one instead.

Yay! I love your new Pink Tourmaline!
what are you planning on doing with it?

MTG,
That''s so cool - I like that she sends so many update pictures. It''s like you are seeing it as she is making it.

 

[pwendyp]

I have one of these coming too - it so appealed to my sense of fun! I'm just hoping that it doesn't have 'strawberries' embedded in there...

ok this too - from Barry - another strawberry quartz! Yeah!

mine is from Rick at

[simplysplendid]

Cellentani, you are not boring! I love rings too and I think most of the coloured stone lovers here do. I love rings because I like to stare and admire at my gems with them. I can''t possibly stare at my earrings and pendant anywhere I want unless I am looking into a mirror!

 

[D&T]

pwendyp, and Cinnamon -yay! more project. Very cool with your strawberry quartz. Do you guys plan on putting it in a ring?

 

[pwendyp]

hi D&T...

I''ve no idea yet, what to put this little fruit quartz into...I''m thinking pendant - for those jeans and white t shirt days...when some sass is called for!

Just simple I think - perhaps just a plain bezel, with a slightly fancy bale? Along the lines of a watch fob type thing...you know what I mean I reckon...

Once I see the fruit inside the stone and the colour of it...just maybe a red cabochon something or other as part of the bale?

Just thinking aloud...

I''m about ready to get a fair few stones set - it''s been a while coming, but some funds have landed my way, which I have been waiting for - so full steam ahead!

I''ve some purple, green and some white, along with some blue and pastel green, a smidge of red, no yellow or orange - too many to do justice to really - but I''m thinking of ''killing six or eight birds with one stone'' and perhaps having a multi stone bangle or pendant/necklace made.

I want to have enough funds left for the ''big'' project!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

So after seeing the photos of the pendant julia sent me, I couldn''t help thinking it looked like 50''s hair, so we went back to the original design, and I''m liking it much better! here are more "in progress" pics, it still needs to be polished and finished, but you get the rough idea. Hopefully it won''t be much longer now!

I think my next project will be a key pendant with julia.

 

[chrono]

MTG,
I like how this designs flows with a bit of twist at the end. LOL at the 50’s hair flip.

 

[stepcutnut]

I love that pendant design, can''t wait to see the finished piece!

 

[D&T]

MTG- Its sooooo Gorgeous! already.... goodness

Thanks!
It still needs the satin finish, and to be set and put together. But it should be done soon! I''m so excited!

 

[T L]

MTG,
How lovely. I like the color combination of pink and violet.

 

[Fly Girl]

I just got this star rose quartz cab from Barry. It is a very pretty pink stone. Hard to see the star, but it sure is a purdy pink. Not sure what I''m going to do with it yet.

 

[Fly Girl]

Showing just how pink this pretty is.

I''ve ordered this watch, too. It was on sale and I''m SO excited! It is the Omega with the colored gemstones.

Lori

Oh Lori, this is fabulous.. would you might telling me how much this sweet candy ran? I know its way out of my price range, but I''d still love to know. How fun! Its a little candy rainbow

Sorry for the late reply.....I''m not exactly sure what the grand total will be. I''ve ordered it through BBB and it hasn''t come in yet....UGG!
