Although I should be saving money too I went in for the mint beryl! I just love the colour and I'm thinking it will look nice in a cocktail ring

Now need ideas for said cocktail ring... @whitewave using your recent aqua thread for inspo

Congrats! I can’t wait to see your pics.

Oh wow you got that! I can’t wait to see pictures! I purchased the Alex & I waffled back & forth between that & the mint beryl. I asked if he had similar rough to that beryl but a wee bit smaller size. That color looks amazing!

 

[torontocatlady]

I’m glad you got the Alex!! It was so pretty too

Congrats on the alex, Hivona!

Congrats on the mint beryl. I may or may not have confused you with Hivona in your other thread by thinking you were the one who got the alex .

Yay you! I love the color change so I can’t wait to hear what you think of it in person.

 

[Hivona]

I can’t wait to see the Alex in person! I have nothing in my collection like it so hopefully it won’t be too dark! Where do I post the pictures? Are lab created gems not allowed in this forum? Is it the fashion jewelry only section? I believe @elle_71125 started a lab created gem thread over there! So I’ll def post there.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Boo I hate hiking up to the other thread to check out all your wares! Such a pain to leave this forum *grumbles as she trots off to check other thread*

I know. Its frustrating not being allowed to post CS lab gems in the CS forum. Sometimes I go for days before remembering I should venture out into one of the other forums.

I'd suggest sharing a link to your post in the other thread, once you post pics. That way lazy people like me (and @mellowyellowgirl ) will still see it.

 

[Hivona]

I received the Alex today! It’s lovely! Here’s a link to a few pictures!

Did anyone see this gorgeous 8.89ct buttery yellow sapphire from Jeff’s vault collection?
It’s freaking stunning and I wouldn’t mind rocking it on my finger.

 

[dk168]

Yellow is not high on my list of colours that I like, and I prefer a more vibrant/neon yellow with a hint of green.
Besides, I don't have 8k USD to spare!
The cutting is great as usual, and I hope it goes to a good home.

Lord knows I don’t have the cash to spare either but I sure do think it’s pretty.
And I agree that the cut is gorgeous.

Where did you see that, @elle_71125?

I’m signed up for his vault collection emails. They go out separately from the gem scoop emails (and are based around more expensive items).

Ps. I took the liberty of forwarding the vault email to you.

 

[Arcadian]

Yeah I got that in my email.

I think my tounge fell out of my head...lol

That was just ridiculously gorge. super pretty pale buttery yellow. I'm WAY too poor for it however.

It’s the buttery tones that got me too.

Especially with all those home repairs doing you in.
ETA: did I get that right or am I thinking of someone else?

Nope you're right. All togther the last home improvement was about 1K more than that stone....jeezus... But hey when I need it I will be glad I spent the money. (I got a whole house generator and a metal quiet enclosure). I will post pictures when the enclosure is here in hang outs.

I will be forever poor because of this house...lol

Until you retire, sell the house, and get to spend it all

Oh gosh it’s absolutely gorgeous! I hope someday I am doing so well financially that I can afford gems of that caliber!

Holy moly! I've been out of the loop lately and must've missed this one. What a gorgeous sapphire. If only I had the moolah

How do you sign up for the Vault emails? I looked on his website but couldn't find it. Thanks!

I can't remember how it was done, sorry, and would advise you to ask Jeff when he responds to you.

I signed up when he sent out an email for it to the gem scoop subscribers. I check his website for you but I don’t see anything either. Are you on instagram? You could send him a message there to ask him.

 

[elle_71125]

Gem scoop day is here! Did anyone try for one of these beauties yet?
I kinda want half of this list and all the expensive ones.

Golden tourmaline


Purple garnet


Pastel chrome tourmaline


Blue sapphire


Spessartite garnet (this one looks so gorgeous! )


Lavender sapphire


Peach Malaya garnet


Pink spinel


Chrome/ vanadium beryl


Copper bearing tourmaline (oh, baby, if I only had the funds! ).

 

[ShinyPink]

I got the pastel tourmaline! I really want the beryl and copper tourmaline , but I've spent a wee bit too much this year.

 

[GCGDanielle]

Congrats on the tourmaline, MrsKMB! It's lovely!

I'm interested in the blue sapphire. Jeff was kind enough to send a video.

I'm very much a novice when it comes to blue stones. I like a medium tone blue, and my preference leans more to darker than lighter. I'm very fair, so I feel like jewel tones suit me better than pastel/lighter colors. Any opinions on if this little stone would work for me?

Thanks in advance.

I think this is a perfect color! I prefer the medium blue sapphires because I feel like they have more life to them than the dark ones. Plus, they won’t look too dark inside, which is a huge bonus in my book.

If it helps at all, I’m very fair as well so I totally understand the Love of jewel tones... *cough* my entire wardrobe *cough* Anyway, I think it would be perfect for a fair skinned gal like myself and I had to really fight my inner demons not to buy it already.
