Somebody's Gotta Buy This Stone!

Somehow the pink made me think of @elle_71125 and @LisaRN

She has other gorgeous stuff, too, like that 8x5 oval paraiba cab. And the rhodonite.

I'm on a ban. Had to change my avatar because the dream ruby started a buying spree.

Oh yeah. It stood out like like a beacon.

Here’s the pics of the pink sapphire @voce posted above me.

Check out this gorgeous (and well priced) Camellia ring on LT. $950
I love the pop of color the hauyne brings to the outer petals.

Wow. That’s some gorgeous cutting.

Meh... 50 people had to ruin it and now the selection process is by number guessing. You can only guess once.

I saw that, too. How annoying ... Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that so many people would try to cheat the rules, but that a full 50 people did it did shock me. The underhanded people should be disqualified to teach them a lesson!
@strawrose, thanks for bringing the IG account to PS’s attention. I hadn’t seen his IG before and I’m loving reading through to see all the knowledge he shares as well as the amazing gems.

You’re very welcome! He says he’ll do another one with better organization.

This does not match with my skin tone (thankfully, for my wallet). But SOMEONE’S got to get it! @leslie1956

Omg that's gorgeous and makes me wish I had pierced my ears. Alas, it's not a quick fix, and I hope these earrings go to a PSer so we can ses it again.

Here’s an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often. SparkliesLuver’s iconic PS ring is up for sale. This is the ring that started my love of CS gems and it is a total knock out. Honestly, it’s not chump change but if you can swing it, it’s worth absolutely every penny. It’s being sold via @ElleW at “The Gemstone Project” for an introductory price of $8,000 and will be raised to $9,000 once it’s posted on Etsy. I would really love to see this ring stay in the PS family. If your interested, please reach out to Elle. Here’s her Instagram link:

ETA: TGP has not made an official insta post yet. I saw it pop up in her stories and asked about it.

8.2 x 5.9mm Paraiba pear from Paraiba International.
1.2mm inner halo of diamonds
1.5mm outer halo of paraiba

Seems like that link no longer works? Somebody bought it that fast?

Oh, definitely not. I just made a note in my post above so thanks for pointing it out to me. I saw it on TGPs Instagram stories. There has not been an official post yet.

OMG I hope a PSer snatches that up asap!

Or even the other two gorgeous rings she's got up for sale with ElleW!

In looking back at the ring creation thread linked above, looks like SparkliesLuver's account here has been closed?
Whatever the reasoning, I wish you well!

 

[lovedogs]

omg this one too!

I covet this so much. I also hope she's well, and that everything is ok!

This is what makes PS a special place. It’s not just people ogling over gemstones and rings. It’s about those great people truly caring about our fellow sparkly lovers. You guys are awesome.

 

[elle_71125]

I spoke to SparkliesLuver and she asked me to pass on a message that she is well. She’s just on a different path these days. SparkliesLuver appreciates everyone's well wishes and support and she hopes to be back someday!

You are awesome for reaching out, and thanks for updating us that she is well! Sparklies: wishing you the best, and hope you come back whenever you are able or want to. We hope that a PSer can get your lovely pieces and get as much enjoyment out of them as you did!

The earrings have been sold, but more CRD pretties will be posted this weekend.

@leslie1956 can you please email me when you post them? I don't check LT religiously, and I'd like to have the chance to consider buying what you have, before it's sold.

Absolutely, voce I'll give you a heads up before I post any non-earring items.

doesn't fit here exactly as a super fine specimen as I guess what's intended on this thread, but the price is attractive.
I'd love to see more photos of its translucence!

Thanks for sharing this! I just sent an inquiry to see if it’s still available .

Soooo.... I know this is a diamond (but technically a colored diamond?), but I needed to post this somewhere and drool for a sec. *sigh*

It has been deemed a "poval" and my heart loves it.

Hehe. I knew you were going to love this one And silly me! How could I forget the all-important link!

It's at Perpetuum Jewels. Found while bling browsing instead of working, whoops. Didn't even want to inquire about price bc I know it is out of budget and will break my heart...
