I have been moving slow with the garnet, though I think yellow gold will have to be involved in some way. Just bought a new digicam last weekend and will start a new thread asking for ideas, which will include pictures from the new camera. The camera has a much better macro feature than my older one, so I think I will get better results.
This garnet is costing me more $$ than expected...first it was the garnet, then a new digicam (for which I had to buy a memory chip and converter drive for), and eventually I am going to have to set it...heh. Thank goodness for tax returns. I think this will be the first year that I do not save 100% of my tax return, but I paid off my student loan in November 08, so I think I can reward myself with a few toys.

Very nice, I love a trillis setting. I can''t wait to see more pics.
Good idea. Maybe I''ll do that. I have a trellis setting with a CZ in it, now I have to find a stone for it. I love yours!!Date: 2/4/2009 12:51:36 AM

I really do love your mounting though, it suits your blueberry so well.Date: 2/4/2009 5:57:43 AM

Haha no kidding about mounting costs - that''s great that you got a new camera though (and great for us that the macro works better!). The garnet would luck beautiful in yellow gold - lots of fire and warmth - what better type of stone/ring to get during winter???Ooh and I''m so jealous your student loans are paid off - good for you! Long time in coming for me![]()

BEG - it''s just gorgeous you lucky girl! This new jeweler did a great job, and the prongs look fantastic. I tried to get my jeweler to do claw prongs on a piece, but he acted like they wouldn''t be as strong.![]()
And Merry Richards Jewelers!!?? That''s where my husband bought my first engagement diamond, some 17 years ago!!! I think I still have a store appraisal from them, which, LOL is worthless.

Very nice BEG! I agree with the others, what nice prong work. And the setting in general looks really nice.
Are you happy with it for what you paid, if I may ask? (the setting I mean).
Very pretty ring!

Your loans will be paid off, eventually. I do not remember how old you are, but if you are in your mid 20''s, do not feel bad, I turned 31 last June and mine were paid off in Nov 08 (undergrad + grad). I have friends my age and they are not even half way to finishing off their loans.
