I don''t remember exactly what you are looking for. Is it a new project?



WHat kind of stone are you loonking for? What size? I am curious.

I am making a set of stacking rings. I have 3 stones from ACS. One is a light pink spinal, one a purple sapphire, and one a green tourmaline. They are all between 4-5 mm. I am looking for a bright pink stone as the final one. I have told Berry about my plans and he said he would look. But noting yet, so I am looking on my own as well. I am in no hurry. But when someone puts up an update, I run to the site to see if something is there.

Do you mind my asking who is making these for your? Is it your personal jeweler? I have three stones between 4 and 5mm that should probably go in stacking rings.

I have not approached anyone yet. I was thinking about asking kateszabone on ETSY. I like her rustic look. And also, it looks like she works in gold. I am not sure how perfect her bezels will be. This is kind of a budget project. I am sure my local jeweler would do a great job, but it cost a small fortune to set my sapphire, and I don''t want to pay that for stones that cost less than $100.

Thanks! This spess is more orange than the picture and its concave cutting made it even harder to picture. I am waiting for the arrival of all my recent purchases (bought a dozen stones this month) then I will have a proper intro of my entire collection.

Oh, Marycy!... I think I have to really, really, really get the spess...

Yingh, that''s such a sunny burst of orange! I really love it. You just can''t be in a gloomy mood when wearing that color!

Then you should buy it, buy it! It is stunning. My spess from Dan is amazing.

I like this

I think the cut is so much fun!

But I''m saving money and putting it towards (maybe) an e-reader - so must restrain myself too!

I''m second in line for this one.....WAITING, WAITING.......

Lori

Good luck Lori. It''s gorgeous.

 

[mochi]

Yes, I got the spess!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Yay!!! And who else picked up goodies from Dan?! There are a lot of SOLDs on his page...

 

[mochi]

Freke, did you see the purple spinel? It''s very pretty.

I am SOOOOO excited for you. Maybe I need to sell some jewelry so I can pick up something new from Dan. I have Dan Stair envy now.

 

[FrekeChild]

I did. It''s very pretty. Did you get anything else besides the Spess?

That purple spinel is gorgeous.

 

[mochi]

No, just the spess for now. No more stones until ACS posts new gems again.

Marcy, I love your spess ring. I''m always looking at it on Dan''s web site!

 

[FrekeChild]

You should get it Marcy. I''m cut off for a while.

...sigh...wedding stuff....

Have you seen the Mahenge spinel Gene just put up? It is gorgeous but a tad big (5.5mm).

oops - I see it has already been sold.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Oh well, thanks for looking .

 

[mercoledi]

Sorry Lori, I snatched up the barion octagonal tourmaline. Though I''d be willing to particpate in a PS colored stones time share pool!

Do we know who got the pink?

Mochi- congrats on the spess! I hope it''s orange candy in person too.

Oh well, thanks for looking .

There''s a pink sapphire here; .39ct 4mm ish. I''ve never used this vendor, but the exchange rate is good these days, so I''ve been tempted. Here''s a 5mm pink spinel from the same vendor.
