Somebody's Gotta Buy This Stone!

[voce]

From Diamonds by Lauren.

It's a good thing there is no way I can afford to shell out $55k for a gemstone.

I had to check that I wasn't getting the size wrong. No wonder people are buying those irradiated diamonds...

https://loupetroop.com/listings/loose-stones-colored-gemstone/unheated-green-sapphire-1-dot-12-ct This looks like a very pretty and unusual green unheated sapphire.

Has anyone ordered from Adamant International on Loupe Troop? They include papers from GIC in Colombo.

That price and size are seriously good. Too bad I have my heart set on an oval paraiba.

 

[lovedogs]

I have no clue about the cost of this (must be incredibly high), but LOOK at the color. It's electric!

Goodness me, it's like an emerald and a sapphire had a baby together and this is the result Good thing it's not round, otherwise my self control would be taking a severe beating! I hope a PSer gets this!

 

[lovedogs]

I know easier said than done but you MUST RESIST
I don't think the seller would want you to get in trouble because of her ring. Didn't you already do a "bad thing" recently? No idea what that was, but surely you don't want to be more bad?

Exactly!!! I'm a bad, bad girl! Plus, my husband would kill me.

@elle_71125 I know right? Seriously gorgeous.

@elle_71125 I know right? Seriously gorgeous.

Agree. If it was in yellow gold I might not be able to resist. It is truly a beautiful gem!

If it helps any, I actually like your new mint garnet ring better than this tourmaline ring! The garnet itself is stunning, but the setting is perfect

 

[voce]

Also @elle_71125 your tsavorite garnet in the DK setting is incredibly and in a stunning setting that I like more than this one

I wasn’t expecting the compliments on my rings. You ladies rock!

I love the tourmaline being sold and if I was in a position to buy it I surely would.
As it stands, I just wanted to share the new, lower price because I just know someone else must love it as much as I do.

My fun money is going toward electrical work for my house...as it should really (getting a new generator which I need as I live in FLORIDA but still... ) Obvs, I need to make more money.

 

[ChanterelleJ]

That huuuge pink tourmaline is a showstopper

Don't you just hate when you have to spend perfectly good bling money on important life things? Isn't it just the worst?!

 

[Arcadian]

OMG YAAAAASSSSSS!!! The generator + electrical work (will cover the whole house and not an itty bitty corner of it) is nearly 6K which means bye bye play money for a very long while. Like many parts of FL, no natural gas near me (I won't do LP gas, very costly needs a 500Gallon underground tank and nearly 5K more!!) I won't be buying perfumes either

Maybe we should timeshare a few stones.

@elle_71125 & @Arcadian I feel your pain! We need to set aside money to do our VERY outdated and crumbling house up, but I’d rather spend the money on gems!

Hahaha this month is all about my car... between insurance and some maintenance I’m done! And Master Cut gems having a sale soon

It really is the pits. We had to spend 15k on the roof recently, and another 8 fixing some parts of the exterior. I hate to have to spend thousands on pipes lol! It just is so hard that gems are a ‘luxury’ after everything else has been taken care of.. it certainly doesn’t feel that way most of the time.

This person can't list this because it is their own piece, but I don't understand how it hasn't sold. The color is to die for. (I'd buy it but I love the stone a lot more than the setting and I'm just embarked on all my own projects. I'm worried i might be kicking myself on this one down the road.) Sp actually no one buy it, Elle can keep it and maybe I can convince her to sell it to me later, when I'm not broke!

It is gorgeous! I can only speak for myself, not others. The ring is size 5, and my smallest finger I could wear it on is 7.5. I have no experience with getting rings resized; would probably try to get it if it's within one size, but if it's a 2.5 size difference...not sure it would look as good after resizing, or worth the effort. I'm hoping someone comes along who can wear it and love it as-is instead of doing major surgery on the ring .

Damn me and my small digits!
I guess that means I’ll have no luck on the 4.75s I’ve been getting either. Lol

If I were not poor I totally would if I knew I wouldn't warp the hell out of that setting. Both setting/stone is TDF

But I'm of the big ass finger brigade. It would need to be sized at LEAST to an 8, ideally 8.5 because my hands swell badly. I can wear a 7.5 but only in winter...lol
