Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Me too! I bought two round pairs - two have arrived, and two seem to be lost in the mail since early March I also bought a great trilliant thinking that sooner or later another of similar color and size would appear and then I'd have a pair for side stones. I've also been watching the small pear shapes, so that I can buy a pair of those as potential side stones...it is something he has so frequently that I am willing to take the risk and buy them one at a time and hope...

I got a 2.51ct cushion dark gray spinel and 2.25cts of cushion sphenes for my birthday! The sphenes were free because they kind of forgot to send the spinel to my husband for a week or so...Pics later! Today is a dreary day.

This is the pair of pear chrysoberyls I bought separately, with a very nice purple spinel around 2 carats. I've been doing tons of multi-stone rings lately. The newest one is the one in the corner with two chrysoberyl trillions. Those are a bit greener, but glow in sunlight. I prefer more yellowish ones. The settings are all by lanbo, except the one on the right with the spess/tsav combo, which is Daniel M.

I hope this works - a wonderful stone from Roger Dery

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Sooo pretty, bijou!

What would Easter be w/o a purple egg, I ask you?
I ordered this today.., maybe a nice cocktail ring or art nouveau-inspired pendant.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

dats a juicy chrysobery, Minous

I got no purple egg
but I got a green gumdrop a orange gumdrop and a red gumdrop on the way

 

[minousbijoux]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Gumdrops are good, very good!

My chrysoberyl is 2.77 cts, 9.8x6.8x4.3 I couldn't decide between two of his, so he sent them both. This one is beautiful for its vivid chartreuse. The other one is a 3.7 ct cushion. How could I possibly decide?

 

[VapidLapid]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

You will just have to keep them both!

This is going to be my last gem purchase for a while. Moving and settling will take up a lot of my time. I'm excited to see this one. The color looks like they shoved a canary in there.

Yes, it was an interesting color, but I have so many chrysoberyls, I got this instead. I have a setting that will fit it, and I've been looking for a stone to fit it for a while now.

You're lucky I didn't bid on it!!

Can't wait to see your photos of the chrysoberyl!

These little guys should be coming in the mail tomorrow or Monday. They're tiny (4mm) but completely untreated Colombian emeralds from an Etsy seller Yvonne Raley. They're my first emeralds so I'm pretty excited about them.

 

[Indylady]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I'm excited to see more shots of those emeralds! Are they cabs?

 

[alene]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thanks Indy Lady! Yes, they're cabs and looks like I may be getting them today. I'll definitely try to get more pictures.

My new ring, purchased from the place where people often purchase 2nd hand jewelry and stones.

I'm so glad someone here bought that.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I'm getting this from Barry, if it's as good as it looks from the photos, then I might put this into my Van Craeynest setting when I take the diamond out.

MTG ~

Sooo intensely dreamy. I am glad you got it. If it works, I wanna see it in your VC setting; I imagine that would be beyond drool-worthy.


I am in sooo much trouble. Someone needs to ban me from ACS, completely! I just rec'd the Tanga (scrumptious!), a gift for my mom. Her garnet inspired me to get my own, an umbalite (been wanting one forever; keeping ring fingers crossed it is what I'm hoping for). And then, I saw this cushion tourmaline tonight and could not refuse!

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thank you, Athena ! Me too. Love, love, love cushion cuts!
Following all my questions, Barry told me he ran all over the place, looking at it in different lighting.

I will post pics but they won't be arriving until next week. He is trying to kill me with anticipation!

~ faegrace

I cannot believe so much red/pink! I just realized that. Hmmmm. I wonder what that says about me.

Oh, I have a funny e-mail from Barry stating he contacting the Product Cart representative about software, explaining exactly how much time it took from when he activated the spinel last week until someone here purchased it. The representative could not believe it! And I quote "there's no software that can keep up with a PSer."

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

When I was watching there wasn't even a price on the cushion when it was sold. THAT was impressive.

I was loving that 2ct bubblegum pink supernova, but damnit, i need another pink stone like I need a hole in the head. Didn't stop me from having dreams about it though.
