Your tanzanite is just beautiful!

 

[Porridge]

Oh I LOVE it and I think rose gold would be fantastic with that colour!

I hope so! I''ve been just DYING to get a rose gold item

This is the pendant designs I had in mine, it''s shown in the photo as earring, but I''m sure she could make it as a pendant too.

My biggest problem with the pendant is that in the winter, I pretty much just wear big sweaters and hoodies and so you never see the pendant I''m wearing. Although maybe that''s a good thing since it probably means I won''t wear it much...hmm...

 

[Barrett]

yes it''s very purply in the incadescent lighting and a lively looking blue in the other lighting..very nice..can''t wait to see it set

 

[Lovinggems]

Gorgeous colour!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Hehe, I just bought a small 5.5mm greenish blue sapphire from Bob Kast. I''ll have to wait and see it in person, but maybe I can set it together with the tanzanite in a pendant.

Rose gold would be a wonderful idea I think, but I disagree on the bezeling suggestion cause with such a complicated outline it could be a risky job (check your jeweller''s past experience with bezeling more fragile stones if you choose to go that way).

 

[bling addict]

Beautiful stone MTG - I love the colour! I also love the setting you have picked

 

[akmiss]

Very pretty stone and your pics are great! RG would be beautiful

 

[brandy_z28]

That is gorgeous MTG! I think it would look great set in rose gold!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Some pics in direct sunlight, it sparkles like madness!

How do you get anything else done? I''d be sitting there moving it back and forth in the sun all day!

 

[D&T]

Gorgeous MTG!!!!

love the shape and color and everything about it

Nah, that just means you would have to get a new winter wardrobe too with lots of v-neck sweaters.

The stone is gorgeous! I can''t wait to see what you do with it.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Haha, you make a good point Kismet...
It also wouldn't hurt to add some purple to my closet...

Hmmm...the only gem I have named so far is my Tsavorite from Barry (which I named BeBe), but you''re right, this once could use a name too! I''m open to suggestions

 

[trishy]

would you say its a boy or a girl? the blue and [preo] greens make me think boy... but purples and any pink flashes make me think girl. what is that baby?

 

[geckodani]

WOAH!

That is an amazing stone!!!

Definitely a girl! It's got some lovely pink, purple, blue flashes.

What do you think of the name Tesla? Since the color is so electric

The sparkle and color remind me a bit of those blue/purple electric plasma balls that you play with in high school physics class. I know Tesla is a guy, but I think it sounds like a girls name. Hehe.

 

[jcrow]

great stone, wonderful size too!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Here's a pic of the Tesla balls I'm thinking of. I think I'll go with the name Tesla, it's pretty, and nerdy, haha.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Beautiful stone!! Color cut and sparkle! I too like the idea of RG. And I would say to put it in a pendant. I bet that ring setting from Sally could be done in pendant form...

and then of course you do need to get some V neck sweaters for winter!

Tess works as a girls name or nickname which is just a little shorter than Tesla.

 

[princessplease]

What a lovely stone!!!!!!!!

That is one beautiful sparkly tanzanite! My vote goes for a ring- only because if it''s a pendant, the beauty will be only for the observers and you will not be seeing it so much!
But if you decide on a pendant, like the others say , wear a lot of v-necks and it will look gorgeous on your skin. Enjoy!

Yeah..hence my dilemma..

Oh my GOODNESS, MTG! That is fabulous! I adore the cut and colour of that tanzanite it''s just stunning! Can''t wait to see it set, and I love that JKT earring as inspiration!
