Guys, I'm so excited!! A million thanks for those who helped me on my hunt for a sapphire for a pendant, and advice on my custom garnet ring. I ended up getting both pieces done by Caysie at CvB Inspired Design, which were totally different designs than I originally envisioned, and I'm so happy I did. I don't have the pieces in hand yet, but the pics by Caysie are glorious :kiss2::kiss2:! Sapphire cut by Jeff White and mahenge garnet cut by Gene Flanigan.

Stunning, stunning, stunning! I love the pendant in particular - the side view shot is so striking. And the colour on your stones....!
 
That blue looks really, really nice (and well cut).
 
Beautiful stones and settings.
 
Wow, wow and wow! I wish my first colored stone purchases had looked like this. You did an awesome job!
 
Beautiful!!! Caysie did my ring setting.

What sizes are your stones? Thanks.

Incredible incredible incredible ! Oh dear I wish I could afford Caysie!

We need hand shots neck shots and every other shot in every lighting once you get these beauties in your hand!:Up_to_something2::love:

One question... the Matt type of look is great. What is that metal finish called?
 
Wow!! Those beautiful stones just leap out of the screen, they’re so vibrant. The settings really enhance the beauty of the gems, wear them in good health and happiness :love:. Breathtaking!
 
Oooh! What a stunning result. Both pieces have amazing stones and gorgeous settings. Great job by Caysie
 
What vivid colours! I really love the details on your pendant too. Please come back with hand and neck shots!
 
Thanks everyone!! I'm so thrilled at how they turned out, and especially what the pendant did for my sapphire. They should arrive today, so I will post hand and neck shots as soon as I can - although my photography skills will look atrocious compared to Caysie's :mrgreen2:.

Beautiful!!! Caysie did my ring setting.

What sizes are your stones? Thanks.

I saw your ring on her IG - beautiful, like all of her work!
The sapphire is 1.94 ct. and 6.57 x 6.57 mm.
The garnet is 3.38 ct. and I think it measures 8-9 mm (I don't remember anymore and I don't have the original paper that Gene sent with it).

Here's a hand shot of them side by side:

One question... the Matt type of look is great. What is that metal finish called?

It's called a brush finish - my engagement ring has the same finish and I've always loved it. They are both 18k unplated white gold/palladium.
 
That's a lot of gorgeousness right there!!! The settings are just beautiful. I can't wait to see more pics once you receive it.
 
Both of those are gorgeous! The color of the stones is amazing! Beautiful pieces!
 
Absolutely stunning!
 
Beautiful pieces! The color of that sapphire looks amazing in the pendant! And I always thought that bezels make the stone darker.
 
GORGEOUS colors!! Waiting for more photos...:whistle:
 
Finally took some hand shots of the ring - here you go! Unfortunately my photography skills are not as great as Caysie's and we haven't had a ton of bright sunshine here in Seattle the last few days o_O.

wow!! Gorgeous!!
 
It looks perfect on you! :love: It can be hard to get good pics but I think you did a pretty great job of it. ;)2
 
Both are gorgeous!
 
Thanks guys!! I can't decide if it's an everyday kinda ring or just a special occasion ring. For now I think I'm comfortable with a business casual and above ring :mrgreen2:.
 
COOL cut and setting. The color really makes it look much larger than it is. Congrats on your first two colored stone projects being such a success.
 
Both are beautiful and really show off the gem colors. Enjoy!!
 
Congratulations! Your colors are amazing! I’m so impressed that these are your first projects. Well done!

I have been dying to get something from Caysie. She's very talented- everything I see is so special! Hopefully one day I'll be able to get a piece... They're both gorgeous pieces, but that sapphire is absolutely stunning!:clap:
 
These are fabulous!!! I can't stand how uniquely beautiful they both are!! :love:
