Thanks! I usually troll auction sites like Liveauctioneers and Auctionzip. This ring is my first purchase from Clars in CA.
 
I just missed Wednesday, but for sure I'm not waiting another week to post in this fabulous thread! =)2

DW has three pink tourmaline rings

2 Hot Pink Ringdant 1.jpg

And a small but mighty rhodochrosite that is next in the queue to be set.

2.02ct Rhodochrosite 6.63x6.24x5.55 H2.jpg

I don't know about you guys, but DW finds that setting gemstones is a whole lot harder than buying them! :mrgreen2:

Wow, I didn't know gems like this colour existed - it's practically glowing! What are your design ideas for setting it?

Yes, last Thursday! And she loves it! She says it’s very comfortable, too.

Rhodochrosite is very soft with a Mohs harness of 4. Facetable material from the Sweet Home mine is scarce. So faceted gems are rare and mostly in the hands of mineral collectors. We didn't want this gorgeous stone to sit in a display case, so we decided to take the risk of setting it. The stone is too small to be a pendant so it will be set as a ring. It will definitely need a protective diamond surround of some sort, hopefully involving trillions. We are starting to look for inspiration but are still working with DKJ on a jadeite ring. After three false starts the jadeite will be finished this month, and then we will concentrate on the rhodochrosite. DW and I can't handle the stress of working on two jewelry designs at the same time. One design is bad enough! ;)2

Oh a ring setting with trillion sides would be divine! Looking forward to hearing about the project when it starts and of course the finished piece later on!
