Fess up! Who got these?

[chrono]

Okay,
Who bought this beautiful Gossular garnet? I wanna know because I just logged on to Jeff''s website this morning to find it just offered AND sold.

 

[chrono]

Who would have guessed a peridot could look so beautiful?

 

[chrono]

Don't look down on tourmalines because this one's a beauty!

p.s.
How come these are already sold??? I only saw them this morning.

 

[that_someone_special]

Wow.. what a lusty green!

 

[Gem Lover]

I''ve been wondering the same. I tried to get the garnet at about 6: 30 or so last night and it had just sold

. My newsletter came at around 5! Oh, and hello to everyone. Haven''t posted here in a long time. So who are the lucky ones?!

I really liked the spinel!

I got the email at about 11.30pm GMT and they were all still available then.

 

[wen104]

Ow the peridot is gone, I would have gotten that in a heart beat and have been looking for a nice one for a pendant. It is my daughters birthstone! POOH, how does that happen so fast!

 

[rainydaze]

wow, that was fast! i got the email yesterday morning, EST. i hope PSers scoopped it up so we can all ogle them again!

 

[marcy]

I wish I could say it was me because these are ALL gorgeous.

I confess, the garnet was me. I had missed out on that beautiful blue sapphire that neatfreak purchased by minutes, so I made sure to move fast on this one. Though, I think it may be fate, because I really wanted a yellow sapphire, not a blue one...so now I get my yellow!

I haven''t thought how to set it yet, so I am definitely up for suggestions...

[Dreamer_D]

Wow! Jeff's business is really picking up, obviously PS is helping him! Deservedly so, because I loooooved all three of those stones! Esp. the peridot, what a color! I was thinking of getting it for my mom for her b-day but it was just too much $$.

 

[Miscka]

The cut on the spinel was TDF. They are all gorgeous!!!! I cannot wait to see your pics, FacetFire!

Don''t rub it in, but I still remember that thread about the ACS red spinels.
Sorry Matata, I''ll have to remember not to wear those earrings when and if we should ever meet or my ears will be in danger.

Sorry, I couldn''t resist!

That was one of the funniest threads!

What happened with the spinels?

I just signed up for gem scoop, and wow-things do go fast. That yellow garnet is amazing, FacetFire, and I can''t wait to see what you do with it.

Here is the thread for you Selks!! Shameless Plea for Sympathy

Chrono has since set the spinels into the most fabulous pair of earrings!

 

[Linda W]

I can''t wait to see that garnet set FF. I wish he could make more then just one stone

Hmm...you''re giving me "bad" ideas, Linda. How about a matching pair of pink asscher cut spinels to match my lonesome stone?

 

[Linda W]

ACK!!! Chrono that would be GORGEOUS!!!! I would do it in a heartbeat

Of course, if you are tired of your stone, you can ship it to me in California ha ha ha ha ha

Linda

 

[chrono]

Nice try, Linda but you should be telling that to Harriet who has a far more beautiful collection.

 

[Linda W]

I know she does, her collection is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Oh great find! I just checked my email and couldn''t believe they were gone, particularly this lovely yellow stone - can''t wait to see it when it''s done!

 

[Selkie]

Thanks, Lorelei! How funny...

Right now I am leaning toward a custom bezel set ring like this Tiffany http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?sku=21412473 How do you guys think that would look with the asscher cut?

I think it''ll look great! But I am biased because it''ll look like a cross of my ring with laurenthepartier''s.

Absolutely divine.

I like it because it''ll darken the light colour one notch, highlight the stop sign shape and really make the windmill steps stand out.

Neatfreak,
I was planning to set my pink asscher spinel like yours (bezeled with a thin shank) but don''t want to go custom. Do you (or anyone else) know if I can get this design off the shelf in white gold?

Nowhere has anything bezeled (except for rounds) that is a stock setting as far as I know...I looked everywhere. I had to go custom to get anything like it.
