I picked up a beautiful cushion shaped tsavorite garnet from Gene at Precision Gem last fall.
Details:
Origin: Tanzania
Shape: cushion
1.14ct
Dimensions: 5.96mm x 4.35
Here’s Gene’s photo
And my photo
I love how bright it is. It’s small but really packs a punch in the color department. As for setting it, I already had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. I had seen a couple rings from David Klass that I just knew would be perfect for this baby. I just had to wait for the piggy bank to fill up again.
Here’s the final CAD from David. I find it helpful to see them along with the finished product. I’m the worst at interpreting CADs and, somehow, I’m always surprised at how the finished product comes out. It’s always way better than I imagined!
Now for the good stuff. I took these stills from the video David sent me.
