Just received confirmation from Gene that I got the blue-green Tourmaline - I e-mailed him immediately after completing the PayPal transaction (sorry Desertrose).

My first stone by Gene, and a blue-green Tourmaline, at long last!

DK :bigsmile:

Woohoo! Congrats DK!
 
Thanks peeps!

Need to have the stone in hand first before deciding on the setting, however, it will be a halo, most likely to be this one (with a plain, curved and wider shank):

oh goodness, DK, I ADORE that setting! It's perfection! Who makes it???
 
Don't know who makes it, sorry, just a pic I found when Googling for EC rings years ago.

DK :))
 
I'm so glad you got it DK :) That setting is gorgeous, can't wait to see it set!

Congrats BlushPeony :appl: .
 
That's great news dk! I am so glad you got it. Your stone will look fabulous in that setting.

Congrats blushpeony! Hope you indeed got the padparadscha.
 
That tourmaline is beautiful. And the setting is lovely. Good luck with them both.
 
Did anyone here get one of the Mahenge Garnets that sold this week? I had to mop up a puddle of drool after seeing the larger one
 
Did anyone grab one of Gene's newest cuts? I was late to the party so I got nada (guess that's what I get for going out for lunch :shock: ).
They were all gorgeous but that one on the left was really speaking to me. And that tanzi. :naughty:

The Cranberry Spinel looks interesting. The Garnet looks STUNNING. Thanks for linking it's thread. :bigsmile:

Gene's latest stones are up.

I actually tried for the mahenge garnet (thanks JocoJenn for the heads up) so I will wait to see how that turns out.

:appl: Glad I happened to be looking at just the right moment, and my fingers are crossed it ends up being yours. ;) :wavey:

ETA: He *may* have more gems coming also, since his email hasn't gone out yet. :think:
 
To the person who got the .72ct ruby: PLEASE, PLEASE come back with pictures. I really want to know how it looks IRL. Thank you!

Thank you!!! :appl: That's alright - pictures with a written description would be very helpful. Can't wait for you to get it!

I only have my antiquated BlackBerry phone :lol: but I will do my best. It may take a little while to get as I'm in Canada and packages sometimes get hung up in Customs for a bit. I will be sure to post once it's in my hot little hands. I was so happy I got this one. Nothing could be better than a ruby with Gene's cutting.
 
:lol: That's fine! Thank you again. :) I'm sure it'll be worth the wait!
 
Love rubies from Lake Baringo......great snag and can't wait to see!

I think I have a sibling of JoCoJenn's that's been sitting at home waiting for me to return. Its about 8.6mm and close to 3 carats. (JoCoJenn - what are you planning to set?) I was thinking of doing something with color change garnet melee). Gene rated it Color 10, Clarity 9, Brilliance 5.

:wavey: lilmosun- congrats on snagging my garnet's bigger twin. :appl: Mine is just shy of 2ct.

I am undecided on setting just yet. I have drawn up some ideas, some of which involved some various melee accents, but nothing has been 'set in stone' yet. :lol:

I am a little hung up moreso on setting ideas for my new Burmese spinel, and keep going back & forth between designs for it and the garnet. :loopy:

Just saw the red spinel thread...how exciting! One of my favorite stones. It's been months since I've done a project. Looking forward to seeing yours and others...looking for some inspiration/motivation :whistle:
 
Someone fill me in on this: on what venue does he list where these are snapped up? I gotta get in on this.
