BBridgestock Tsavorite, .74ct, 5.5mm

Well, if you have to lose control, it looks like a good place to lose it!
 
I feel the same way. Must stop buying gems, must stop. :shock:
Could be worse. We could be buying plastic trinkets and do dads.
 
Oh, I'm not saying I regret it...lol
I've been busy though between my star sapphire ring, setting my opposed tourmaline (finally), and exploring the oec world. I'm going to have to go cold turkey until the New Years!
 
I don't blame you for picking up that tsavorite, MTG! What a gorgeous shade of green-- I was REALLY tempted to get it. :twirl:
 
MTG...you beat me by a few second AGAIN!!!
I did not waste a single second as I saw this tsav, tell me how you managed to be so FAST!!
Barry just emailed to tell me the bad news that I'm beaten again!
 
MTG, will you possibly give it up if I beg you...
Since today is my birthday, and I was really hoping to get something to celebrate...
Oh it's really my birthday ;(

Weren't you looking for a bright red stone? He sent me two on spec and I have to send one back. I believe its a rhodolite but bright red. It is amazing in its pure, deep color when not in direct light, and its shower of sparks and flashes it shows off when in the light. :love: I joked to him that it reminds me of a disco ball. Anyway, he sent me two, and I've chosen to keep the smaller one. This one is 9.7mm and will probably be sent back tomorrow. It'd make a great birthday present to yourself... :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
 
gorgeous tsav MTG-if it were a bit bigger you could've been racing me to the finish line ;)) Please post pics when it arrives, I dont recall seeing a tsav from Barry
 
Thanks AJ. Of course I will post pics!
I only have one other tsav. Its a supernova from Barry which I set in a two tones lotus. It is my favorite colored stone ring but it has also ruined me for many other green stones. I think I've returned five green gems in the past few months because they couldn't compare. I have high hopes for his one though!

Sorry babydoll. I don't think I can give this one up without seeing it. But I've returned a different tsav from Barry before so if I decide to return this one too I will definitely let you know!

minousbijous, thank you for the information!
Do you have a pic of the 9.7mm one?
I've seen a 9.2mm one on Barry's site.
Not sure whether they are the same one...
 
I bought the last one you returned to BB MTG. I'm incredibly happy you sent it back. It's one of my favorite stones. I named it the Green Goblin. :tongue:

Love this one too--deep forest green! Any plans for it yet?
 
What a gorgeous vivid colour :love:


Can't blame you, MTG :bigsmile:
 
Barry told me about this tsav and he was really excited about it. It is a beauty!

of course! Please excuse my memory MTG, I know that ring of yours-no wonder you couldnt resist this one. I hope you love it
 
Can't wait to see more pictures! It's beautiful!
 
Girl you are snatching up all these gorgeous tsavs- totally jealous! :) It's really a beauty - I can't wait to see more pics of it. How are you planning on setting it?
 
Haha, I know the feeling. The tsav looks gorgeous!
 
Very nice MTG! :appl: Love that deep lush green. :love:
 
MTG: It just goes to show why I would take tsavs in a heartbeat over emeralds - the green is purer, deeper, the stone reflects more light and has more sparkle, the cut (at least in Barry's) is superb...what's not to love? And I think I'm over my jones for more tsavs and then you have to post this pure color - Ackk! :errrr:

babydoll_mini: No, its not the same one on the website, these are two others he recently cut. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to post the pic from Barry last night and feel like an abject failure :? :cry: :? ;( Sorry, I'll send it back to him and you should probably contact him directly if you're interested...
 
I'm thinking of mybe making my first three stone ring. I just got a small 4mm oec diamond so I might try to find another to match. People have often remarked on how Barrys cutting reminded them of old euro cuts so it might be a good combo!

A three stone would be lovely MTG!
 
That's a beautiful green, can't wait to see pics!

I think the hard part will be finding a match.
 
A three stone with OEC's would be lovely. Sounds like a fun project!!
 
This is my other Barry tsav, .9ct, his vendor photo and mine IRL.

I think this new one will be a touch lighter, but I'm hoping it'll compare well!
 
I LOVE the setting on your supernova! The focus is completely on the pure green. Is there a story or thread behind that setting?
 
What a beautiful, beautiful cut!
 
I love the color of it!
