Those are fantastic..look at the polish on those..it''s blinding..the color is fantastic..good buys burberry

Thanks CK! I''m amazed by how many flashes they give off. I was used to the more glowy look of my emerald. I''m *almost* a tsavorite convert... I still prefer emeralds but not by as much as I used to...

Wow, Burberrygirl, your stones look so gorgeous! I am really jealous like Crasru I got only T-shirt!

I am having such difficulty finding a 3rd color for my stackers and I am also thinking of a different shape and lower dome. So how do you like the combo of oval and sugarloaf shapes? It will be interesting to see a pic of these together how they look top down! I will be following you on your settings and what color you are going to choose for your 3rd stone!

Thanks Megeve!

I''m thinking that finding a third stone is going to be very hard for me too. I like the combination of the sugarloaf and round (well it''s almost round, but in the pictures it looks more oval than IRL). I''m thinking my third stone is going to be a sugarloaf, maybe around 3cts so the size is right in between the tanz and tsav. I was throwing around the idea of the third stone being a sapphire or spinel, but I''m not exactly sure yet!

I took a picture of my emerald and garnet sugarloaves next to my roundish tanzanite to give you an idea of how it would look. I think a third sugarloaf would look amazing for your stacks but honestly anything shape would be cool

I love the tanzinite color! I wonder if tanzinite cabs are more prone to scratches than other cabs? Anyways, they are all really pretty, thanks for the additional pics. I''m wanting a cab, but I don''t know what size/gem/color, so I love getting inspired. That tsar. is so pretty as well, what a nice green!

I love that emrald ring too.
