[livannie]

Wow, that’s gorgeous!

 

[leukolenos]

Beautiful! How do you plan to set it (if at all)?

 

[whitewave]

@livannie thanks, I love it!

@leukolenos I'm not sure yet. Ed thought this would make a great pendant, and he is probably right, but then I will only be able to see it in a mirror! He also has sandawana melee, so I may purchase some of those from him too...

I have a blue sapphire that needs a ring setting first, so this will go in the vault for up to a year (unfortunately, but my money tree needs to grow or I need to win powerball)

Beautiful WW! The color is gorgeous!

 

[marymm]

Lovely glowy green!

 

[woweezowee]

Gorgeous emerald! Excellent saturation and luster. I think a pendant would be LOVELY.

 

[KristinTech]

Wow! It looks so gorgeous in all of those different lighting environments. Beautiful!

 

[Tekate]

I love the color whitewave!

 

[chatoyancy]

That is a beautiful emerald!! I just read about them. They are from Zimbabwe and have a high chromium content. That would explain the lovely color.

 

[whitewave]

Thanks, everyone! It is definitely a winner.

Ed also sent me a copy of his book and a piece of rough Russian amethyst. (I'll add pic of this one later)

 

[Stone Hunter]

STUNNING color! Congrats.

That's a beauty! Nice score with the 40% off coupon too.

Personally, I think this would look awesome set east to west. Think about it..

 

[Arkteia]

Neon!

 

[whitewave]

I'm busy all weekend and it is raining... I want to take some more pics in the sunshine and in the grass!

@elle_71125 I'm open to all options And I have the bug now for emeralds-- think of wearing back with emeralds-- to die for.... so this will not be my only one. I'm thinking earrings, pendant, band, bracelet, brooch and ring!

 

[Gabbycat]

Beautiful emerald and congrats on scoring it at a reduced price! I second the east-west idea posted above.

HI:

Pretty cool stone. Too bad Ed didn't have a match--what FABU stick drop earrings they would have made.....

So, as a emerald singleton of this dimension....something Repossi ish. Ultra modern

I wish you hadn't told me about this website.

I love it!!!

Antique stones and styles are not for me. I have a clearly modern aesthetic.

And yes,yes,yes about the drop stick earring idea-- too bad indeed!!

@whitewave, what a beautiful emerald wow on the color and I also love the east west setting @elle_71125 suggested.

 

[Acinom]

What a gorgeous and amazing green!!
I love @elle_71125 ‘s setting ideas and I agree with you: this stone wants to be seen constantly in a ring

 

[whitewave]

I am so torn about which to set first-- the sapphire or the emerald. Sapphire is my birthstone and I have always wanted a ceylon blue one, which I now have and it is gorgeous. (See my posts).

But this emerald... WOW!!! As you can see, the color is gorgeous and it is special. It calls to me... something almost otherworldly about it... so glowy and inviting.

And in my post above, I meant to say black, not back!! Lol. Wear all black and have a suite of emeralds.... jaw dropping gorgeous.

 

[jewelsforalltosee]

+1 on the E/W setting suggestion!! It would be amazing!

 

[whitewave]

My manicure is already wrecked lol

 

[mochiko42]

Nice color! In some of your photos, the stone looks like it has a long veil or feather running through the length of it. If that is the case, I would put it in a more protective setting (and definitely pendant, not ring).

 

[JDDN]

Beautiful, I would get lost in that gem!

 

[whitewave]

I sent it off to David Klass today to set in a bezel pendant until I figure out where its permanent home is.

@mochiko42 yes, I want to protect it. I know it isn’t the best emerald out there, but I love it and the color is amazing.

Hi @whitewave! Long time no 'talk' i was beginning to wonder what new projects you must be cooking up when i saw this thread. The color on this is STUNNING! I can't wait to see reveals!

 

[alene]

So beautiful and glowy! Can’t wait to see that pendant!
