My Afghan Mint Toumaline RHR

[katebar]

Here is a teaser of my new RHR that I designed to celebrate turning 50

. The stone is a 3.1 cushion mint tourmaline from Ed at Wildfishgems and is stunning green jube!
The setting is a tiffany Legacy inspired in white gold by Whiteflash.
It is absolutely stunning in real life and the melee work is breathtaking.
Thanks to Bob Joseph Vera and Lesley at Whiteflash. You were all awesome and oh so patient with me
More pics to come later

Almost as stunning as my ring

. We absolutely loved New York and would go back tomorrow if I could.
Had a great time and caught up with Harriet which was a blast. She is so lovely and warm and we had a lovely play date in the diamond district

.
Thanks SDL Skip and omieluv for your comments. I''ll post hand shots when I get home.
I took them in Central Park!!! I''m such a freak lol.

[Shay]

I love it, what an amazing colour!

 

[Phoenix]

It really IS stunning!!

I am green with envy too!!

and of course very happy for you.

I am also comtemplating a coloured Legacy. This is really making me think, hmmm....

Would you mind if I ask you, forgive my being crass and of course you don't have to answer my Q if it's too intrusive: Is it a lot more favourable compared to the Legacy. Pls do *not* tell me the price, I'd just like to know if I should still pursue my Legacy dream or should I think abt an alternative like yours? I love Tiffany's but their prices are really prohibitive. Yours is absolutely stunning and TDF!!

Happy birthday also!!

. Enjoy the day with your new gorgeous ring.
