OMG it is going to be mine!

[redwood66]

I cannot believe this happened. When I saw the original listing on LT I wanted it so badly but had other gorgeous projects I was working on. I watched it for awhile and then poof it was gone. Well it came back yesterday and I hemmed & hawed. I finally sent an email this morning making an offer - thinking all the while that Snooper would never take it. But being project poor from the last few months it was all I could do.

She did! I love this ring and the setting is to die for. In fact I was working on a colored stone project over a year ago and had sent pics of the gallery and underneath of a gorgeous 3 stone ring from PS. I told the jeweler that it needed to be just so with the angles and sloping of the basket etc. Just now looking at Snooper's original thread from years ago there on the second page were those pics I sent! I had no idea! I never did follow through with the project because other things came up. So in a way I think it was meant to be mine. Shipped out today and I should have it by the weekend!

The tourmaline is gorgeous but the setting! Wow and just wow.

Very pretty. Can you tell us more about the stone

 

[Acinom]

Beautiful ring and stone!! Looking forward admiring it on your finger.

Oh my gosh!! How exciting! I was drooling over that the other day. So happy for you!

Thanks all!

Preg I only know from the listing that it is a Barry Bridgestock 8mm. The original owner of the stone - another PSer - said it is a gorgeous stone and it shifts to a hot pinky purple in sunlight. Here is the listing:

And here is the original PS thread on the setting

I just saw that ring! It is so jaw-droppingly beautiful and what wonderful owner it came from too. Wear it in good health!

 

[ilovegemstones]

I admired that too. Good for you!

 

[Starzin]

Lovely catch and meant to be yours obviously

 

[JewelFreak]

Beautiful ring! So glad it is going to live with you. Fated to be! Congratulations -- you'll be happy every time you wear it!

 

[katharath]

Congrats on your ring! I was eyeing that one as well, lol...it's lovely!!

 

[minousbijoux]

I love the proportions of it all - shank, traps, and center BB. It may sound odd, but there is something I find so, for lack of a better word, satisfying about a perfectly proportioned ring like yours.

Just beautiful. Lucky you.

 

[FrekeChild]

Damn. And there I was, trying to figure out about how much someone would give me for my kid. Eh well, next time.

Lots and lots and lots of pics, please!

Thanks to everyone!

Freke I cannot buy anything else for the next - oh - 20 years with all that I have done in the past couple months! But this was a once in a blue moon opportunity that I just could not forget since it came back up on LT. Snooper is such a dear and happy that a PSer has it.

 

[innerkitten]

I love how happy you are about this ring! Can't wait to see hand shots when you get it.

 

[redwood66]

Its here!!! I love it and the tourm is so gorgeous! The setting is divine and I cannot believe I got such a deal on a Leon Mege. Love the whole thing and am so glad I emailed snooper. The stone looks dark but it is so gorgeous IRL and I cannot get a true pic. No windows cept maybe a slight tilt one.

This is so absolutely gorgeous. I want more photos! It's perfect in every way, and a dream on your hand. The color, proportions, everything is just fantastic.

 

[pregcurious]

The proportions look perfect. Congrats!
