Is that a hybrid cut? Looks like a radiant pavilion and a step-cut crown. Looks like it should give a nice size stone with the low profile you want. I'm dying to see it now!
Yes ma'am, it is indeed a hybrid cut like you described. I can't wait to see it.Is that a hybrid cut? Looks like a radiant pavilion and a step-cut crown. Looks like it should give a nice size stone with the low profile you want. I'm dying to see it now!
Thanks. My goal was to have a ring where the stone is the center of attention and the ring was just along for the the ride. It's going to be an everyday-wear ring, so it needs to be unobtrusive with me doing my daily activities, reaching in my pockets, etc.Wow that is going to be a gorgeous ring! I love the simplicity of it but also looks like it will have substance and capture attention! Cannot wait to see the finished piece!
This is exciting! I've been along for the entire ride with you. You have been patient and careful and sometimes funny. I vote for white gold or platinum. Platinum develops a patina over time, so you'd have to be sure it's what you like.In that case, the gemstone ring in white gold would better match my watches and watch bands, which are either stainless or have stainless clasps, etc.
Ooooh! Is this the paraiba that you were talking about setting on my emerald thread?
If so rose gold would be stunning but if you wear more white gold, then go for it!
Also everyone I'm such newb to lab stones and I personally dont think that I'm interested in collecting any (I carry the annoying mind-clean gene) but I loved loved reading this thread and seeing everyones stunning gemstones...man are they beautiful!!
Maybe someday my stubborn brain will change and if so...those lab emeralds from Gene....meow!! That color is right up my alley!
Just out of curiosity, do lab stones have any resell value?
Or are they mainly gems to collect and oogle over and set and worry less about everyday wear?
Funny? I try to take things lightly that's for sure. I'm known as quite the character at work with all my shenanigans.This is exciting! I've been along for the entire ride with you.

I'm a bit sad that your journey is almost over. What will you do next? You definitely need another project to keep you here.
Not quite. Had an idea at first to set the emerald in a cvb, but honestly I just can't quite live with paying 2500 for a setting in 14k gold without any diamonds.Aaargh they're beautiful! So exciting! Do you have any plans for setting them?
This is the one I was considering.I’ve always wondered what her settings ran. Her work is stunningly gorgeous but GEEZ! And that’s just solid gold??
Too rich for my blood

Beautiful, but I just can't stomach the price.

I initially began talking to Bryan at Stag and Finch two weeks ago because they had posted an Arctic Blue Lab Sapphire and I'd been looking for something slightly darker than this shade with possibly a hint of purple. The arctic blue:
Bryan mentioned that he had been looking to try out a blue/purple color change sapphire, so I told him that I was interested- the rough will be arriving later this week! He's been wonderful in terms of communication and I believe he can get settings from Stuller!
Looking forward to posting pictures when I get some!
That Arctic Blue is pretty too.

His girlfriend had to have emergency back surgery late last week and I told him not worry about my stone until he gets her fixed back up. I'm hoping to hear from him any day now.@SouthernGent any news from Bryce about your stone? I'm dying to see it!
