Fess up! Who got these?

[Tacori E-ring]

They are beautiful stones.

FF, can''t wait to see your''s set. I really like bezels.

 

[icekid]

HAHA, I think I was lucky and caught Jeff''s email before anything was sold yet! But I still have to budget carefully and I just ordered a couple OTHER little stones last night. So it wasn''t me, thought I was surely tempted. Especially that asscher

 

[Rhea]

Those are pretty stones, I especially like the spinal.

FFire, the bezel is going to look great with that stone. I agree with Neatfreak, a combination of her and LTP''s ring, it would be amazing.

 

[sera]

Oh my goodness... the color on that peridot is amazing! All three are so beautiful.

 

[Harriet]

Chrono and Linda,
Thanks, you enablers.

 

[Gypsy]

Not me, but DAYAM I WANT WANT WANT that peridot!

FF I can't WAIT to see your stone set. Have you seen Neatfreaks new setting for her cushion? It's really lovely and captures the idea you seem to want. I think it would look amazing with a yellow asscher.

check with jeff: i know he got several pieces of the garnet rough....maybe he got more than one of the peridot.

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.

My ears were ringing! And, I agree with Neatfreak - bezel this baby!

FF, I''m in LOVE with your new garnet! Had you ever emailed Jeff to cut a yellow sapphire before you stumbled upon the garnet?

Anyone remember the price on it? I'm on a rather strict budget. Although ... IF I land a new job, I MAY have to get myself a TINY little present. Like oh... say??? A peridot.

ACK... just checked. Out of budget. 7 carats!

That peridot was 4.29 cts. at $775.

I was very tempted by the yellow garnet, but I am happy it went to a PS''er!!! I still have sapphires as my top priority and spinels next.

I had to practice restraint because I wanted that yellow garnet asscher too! Jeff''s working on a little project for me though, so I have to be patient... Of course I will post pics when it''s done -- it will be a pinkish asscher spinel and I am STOKED!

Oh Boy Stacy, can''t wait to see that!!

A twin after my own heart.

That''s going to be gorgeous!

Out of curiosity, how large will it be, and what is he charging you per carat? You don''t have to answer if you don''t want to, but I''m starting to feel the urge for a new sparkly ring.

Nope, it was just luck that I was at the computer to get the email!

Hi, Lauren! My spinel will probably be around 1.4 carats and it will cost around $600. Jeff''s great because he''s got sparklies in all kinds of price ranges. I love the man''s work!

I noticed the peridot too. I''d love to have one just like it one of these days.
