The stone gods are with you, Tourmaline! Wow. Holy poop. :lol: If I lived anywhere near you, I'd throw you a homecoming party for that ring! ;) Congratulations to you and your generous, amazing hubby! Cannot wait to see more pictures later this week when it's on your finger.
 
Contrats Tourmaline. That baby is huge. I can't wait until you get it set so we can all drool over those pictures. :drool:
 
Thanks, everyone! I'm so excited!

....not to thread jack, but is there any way your jeweler would consider selling the aqua?? I've been thinking about it and it's just beautiful!

If my husband had said no to the spinel, I probably would have brought up the aqua, because I love that one, too. It's still there in my mind, maybe for next year, but I'll ask him at some point about pricing, and if I don't want to claim it, I'll pass along the info. He did tell me that he has another, similar one that might be slightly more green, that he had recut. He looked for it to show me, but didn't find it while I was there. So maybe there will be one for each of us!
 
Exciting stuff is happening!!! He's preparing the setting for the spinel. My diamond ring is on his bench, too, because he's polishing out some scratches that came from wearing it next to my AVC band. I'm going to have to add a spacer. I have some errands to run today and I'm going to pick up the spinel ring later. Eek!!!

Wow Tourmaline I stay away for like 2 days and you already have it set and on your finger. It is just stunning in the true sense of the word. I was stunned and couldn't move for a good minute just starring at it. Congratulations. It looks beautiful on your hand. Glad you set it in gold :clap:
 
excuse me while I go wipe the drool off my face :love:
 
I have a crush on your crush! Gorgeous spinel and the size is amazing. Looks wonderful in yellow gold. Congrats! :appl:
 
Oh yeah, that's a traffic stopper as in horns honking, people yelling, possibly even gesturing because I would be staring at that ginormous redflash on the hand! How exciting! Wear it in health.
 
Stunning, spectacular, breathtaking, gorgeous, perfect!!! :love: :love: :love: LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
What a ring Tourmaline! Congratulations on making this beauty yours. :appl: :appl: :appl:
 
Wow, Tourmaline! Just wow. :loopy: :lickout: I think you should name her. :naughty: I'm still shocked and impressed at the speed with which everything came together; what a great experience! The ring is absolutely stunning and I'm super glad you shared your journey. Wear it in good health!
 
Gorgeous!!!!!
