BEG,
Your new gems are just luscious! I really love that new Malaya. Aren''t Barry''s stones velvety? What an awesome gemstone collection you have.

Thanks for the kind words on my Malaya garnet.

Thanks TL! I think BF is a little jealous about how much I gush about Barry, lol. Hey, when BF can learn to cut stones like that....

And you''re welcome - I really love that Malaya. Have you decided on the setting yet? I know you were leaning towards a Princess Di setting...

No, I didn''t get a setting yet. Haven''t made a final decision on one. Thanks for asking.

That''s hilarious that your BF is jealous of Barry. I bet Barry would get a laugh out of that!!

Wow-what a pretty collection!

Wow, you lucky girl. Your stones are all lovely!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Wow, all beautiful. I love the Malayla garnet! But they are all wonderful stones. Are you going to set all of them?

BEG, all of your stones (too many to name individually, of course) are gorgeous, but that kind of goes without saying. What I really love is that you keep your loupe, tweezers, and xD card in your jewelry box!

Thanks Ltl! I hope to set all of them - unfortunately, all the money I should be putting towards that keeps going to more gems!

I think I''ll set the grossular first though- I want a smaller, bezeled ring to wear on vacation when I can''t take any of my blingier stuff with me (we''ll be outdoors a lot) - I feel weird when I''m not wearing any rings!

I know - odd places right?

The loupe and tweezers make sense but the xD cards... well they're delicate and small, so they should be in a safe place right?

And thank you!

 

[cellentani]

BEG, it makes perfect sense. That''s exactly where my loupe will go when it arrives this week. Hmmm, BEG gets 3 beautiful, sparkly stones, and cellentani gets a loupe.... Actually, I''ve got something else coming too, so I''m really very happy.

Can''t wait to see your next setting project.

 

[AmberGretchen]

OMG BEG - those are all STUNNING - I love all three

Thanks Kelli!! I''m so excited for you that you''re back with a new colored stone (or old colored stone? lol) project!

 

[babysteps]

BEG - all 3 of those stones are stunners! I love the idea of a travel ring, that makes so much sense to have a gorgeous ring for a take away. Your tourmaline is gorgeous! I just rec''vd my first BB tourmaline yesterday - a green cushion - I am hooked! Can''t wait to see your stones set

so looking forward to more pictures down the line!

 

[cinnamon013]

Oh my! They are all so pretty!! Congrats!

I think I posted a couple days ago about an online liquidation sale where I was lucky enough to get a Beverly K pink tourmaline setting for nearly 75% off. It shipped yesterday, so I''m hoping it will get here tomorrow. Another PSer also got the same ring. Here''s the link to the original thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/awesome-deals-on-beverley-k.106785/

So, what do you think you''re going to set next - your NZ trip buddy?

Thank you Babyblue! You should look up Barry - I know he has at least one other Malaya - a bit darker than mine and bigger. I was really torn between that one and the one I got!
