Elle's Gemstone Adventures

I forgot to post my new itty bitty grandidierite pair. They are a very small 3mm but the color is lovely. They remind me of a beautiful blue green tourmaline. I picked these up from Brad at The Gem Trader.

I am smitten with your chubby spinel!

 

[minousbijoux]

Ooh, now I'm smitten with the grandidierites as well!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Love that spinel, so pretty, all of your stones are beautiful.

 

[Arkteia]

The spinel is such a candy!
Your stones are gorgeous.

I am smitten with your chubby spinel!...Ooh, now I'm smitten with the grandidierites as well!

Thank you. I saw Brad post a pair in his last email and I had to reach out. At the price they go for, these little guys are the best I could do.

Love that spinel, so pretty, all of your stones are beautiful.

How sweet. I love how the spinel is such a hot pink. Especially in the sun.

The spinel is such a candy! Your stones are gorgeous.

Thank you.

What a beautiful pair. It's an amazing colour. What are your plans with these?

No plans yet. Maybe accent stones in a ring some day.

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

I love all of them...so pretty and such unique choices!

I've got a new addition to share. Here is my new pink mahenge spinel from GranGem on Etsy. Mike at GranGem was a pleasure to do business with. He answered all my questions, provided a video, and even extended the return window when I explained I had nothing but rain for a week. I will not hesitate to buy from him again.

It's a gorgeous hot pink that looks amazing indoors and out. It has a touch of silk that gives it a bit of a glow.

So here are the stats:
Weight: 2.06ct
Measurements: 7.4 x 6.8 x 5.7
Color: pink

I was actually eye-ing this one! I just didn't have the funds to make the plunge. Glad you like it!

Thank you. I had it in my list of favorites for a while. @SparkliesLuver actually gave me a little nudge and I'm so glad I went for it.

My new Tsavorite from Precision Gem. A tsav has been on my wish list for a while but they are so darn expensive. This one is small but it's also super vibrant so it really packs a punch.

Stats:
1.14ct cushion cut
5.96mm
Origin: Tanzania

Here's Gene's pic


And my pics.

 

[minousbijoux]

Oooh, Elle, that is so vibrant and alive! It packs such a wallop that it does not look small at all.

Does the stone IRL have more saturated colour? It is a very brilliant stone. It is very hard to find a well cut tsavorite in an affordable price.

So glad a PSer bought the tsav! I saw it posted as I was going to bed and decided to sleep on it...giving true meaning to "you snooze, you lose". Congratulations!

 

[marymm]

Looks like a wonderful bright and saturated green and love the cushion shape - enjoy!

 

[chroman]

Love that tsav!

I'm glad you asked. I did post about it on the "catch all thread". Link below.

Here's the basics:
It's a huge 3.93ct blue green tourmaline cut by Jeff White. I picked it up from SparkliesLuver (who, because of this, is currently my favorite person ).
Here's the vendor shot.

Amazing color in this gem. Stunning! Your collection of gems is great! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Acinom]

Wow!!! Another vibrant and saturated gem to add to your already stunning collection. Great choice!!

It’s gorgeous! I don’t think it’s small at all. Mine is between a carat and a carat and half. I love the size. Yours is SO green!

 

[MissyBeaucoup]

It’s a nice size and looks great on you! Congratulations!!!

 

[elle_71125]

Thank you. The color is even better than I expected.

Thanks! So happy to add this one to my collection!

In person it looks even more saturated and bright (in my opinion). It's not dark at all. It's a great tsavorite and I'm really happy I got it.

So glad a PSer bought the tsav! I saw it posted as I was going to bed and decided to sleep on it...giving true meaning to "you snooze, you lose". Congratulations!

Oh, no! That's never a fun experience. I'm just gonna say thank you, since you helped me out by giving me a chance to get it.

Thank you!

Love that tsav!

Thanks

You're too kind. Thank you, Acinom.

Thank you. It really is a vibrant green. I love it!. Admittedly, I have been spoiled with larger gems recently (I'm wearing my 3ct mahenge spinel right now. ). They are great because, well, hello..finger coverage..but they can make everything else seem small. Gemstone problems. lol

It’s a nice size and looks great on you! Congratulations!!!

Thanks! I can't wait to set this one.

What a beautiful tsavorite! I love that Afghan tourmaline too!

We have frost all over this morning. I love the way frost looks on the leaves and grass (even though I hate the cold that comes with it). It seemed like the perfect opportunity for a ring pic.

Beautiful ring, beautiful picture. I'd happily hang that shot on my wall!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Pretty, one of my favorite rings on PS

We have frost as well and since we are Nutmeggers we have not turned the heat on yet, it's like a tradition to see who can hold out the longest!

Aren't you just the sweetest.

Aw, thank you. I can't believe you haven't turned on your heat. It was too cold last night. My heat is most definitely on (I guess that's because I'm not a proper Nutmegger).
