This new stone has a TON of personality. As you can tell from the series, it changes to so many different colors - teal, more green, blue green, a blue-green glowy color. Sigh. I am in LOVE! Barry is the bestest ever!! I want MORE!!!

It looks nice with the friends from Dan and John.

THANKS BARRY!!!!!

Oh, and here''s Barry pic. His looks a tad bit more grey than anything I could get.

Wow, that's beautiful! That came quick, I am still waiting on the spinel I bought from that batch (should be here Monday).

Well, the tealish tourmaline is from Barry''s April drop. It is 6.2mm, .97ct, I think.

The other two are rhodolite garnets - the one that is more pink is from John at GemRite, 1.26ct, and the darker one is from Dan Stair, 1.47ct, 6.89mm. I got those recently and they haven''t been set yet, so I set up some family portraits.

I am working with Sally at Etsy for the garnets. The pinker one will go in the pillbox setting:

The darker one will go in the lotus setting:

As for the new blue-green tourmaline....I''m torn between one of the LOGR legacy settings, OR a sleek rose gold bezel with a white gold shank. Decisions, decisions....

I have a spinel that will be finished being set sometime next week, I can''t wait to get it back! It''s from Dan, and it''s a very pretty color. No one has seen pics, so it will be a surprise for all of you

Interesting stone; at times it appears more green or blue or blue green.

Yeah, it was hard to photograph because it shifts around a lot. But I think it''s cool.

I love how they shine... It''s so pretty. And your model is precious!!

I thought so, too! Much more green to it than I was expecting from Barry''s photo. It is lovely. Love the kitty shot too

It''s actually quite close to my dream green [a la BEG''s cushion green stone]. I emailed him to see if he had any more rough. I want a bigger one!!!!!!

Jealous! Jealous! Jealous! I have been coveting that exact color for some time now!
The stone is lovely and the kitty is too

Thank you so much! Once it is set, I''ll probably stare at it more than my e-ring, lol.

The Rufus LOVES to model for me.

 

[bling addict]

Gorgeous!! Love the colours -- especially how different the greenish one looks in different photos

 

[ma re]

What a sparkle! A nice color too, but scintillation is really something.

Very pretty stones - enjoy!!
