What do you think of this Tsavorite?

[simplysplendid]

I think the cut on the round one is great but somehow I prefer the colour of the pear one, I think. The round seems to have a little brown tone on it, or is that just my screen?

I don't see any brown. Maybe it's my screen?

I don''t see any browns in the round. Might be a screen colour thing.

 

[simplysplendid]

Or maybe it''s my eyes! gosh! it''s 3:30am already..

 

[Harriet]

And you''re still surfing PS?

Btw, there are tanzanites of a similar size that I could throw into the equation.

 

[simplysplendid]

Yes! still surfing and looking out for bling, heh. I put my little boy to bed and fell asleep with him pretty early in the night, so I ended up wide awake at 2am and decided to get up to ogle at some new spess. Please post pictures of the tanzanites..

 

[Harriet]

I''m sorry, but I don''t have any of the small tanzanites. For bigger ones, check out: www.paraibainternational.com.

 

[Harriet]

Darn, Tsavorite #3 is smaller than ##1 and 2.

 

[Harriet]

I just spoke with Leon. He suggested haloing the stones and making danglies. What do you think of his idea?

 

[twodoor2]

When I first saw the pear, I immediately liked the color of the round better. I don''t know if it''s just the picture, or what, but the pear looks "fuzzier." It doesn''t have the more pure crystalline appearance of the round. Is anyone seeing that as well?

 

[Harriet]

I''ve nixed the pear.

 

[Pandora II]

Yes, yes, yes - I second Leon''s idea of halos!

 

[Harriet]

You would.

I wonder how much that will cost.

 

[Harriet]

Update:
I bought the tsavorites before I left for my vacation, along with a pair of blue sapphires. I'm thinking of making them into simple studs, but Leon has a great-sounding idea that we'll be discussing tomorrow.

 

[Linda W]

OH Boy Harriet, can''t wait to hear Leon''s idea!!!

Linda

 

[Harriet]

He suggested haloing the tsavorites and making dangles. Tempting ...

 

[Linda W]

OMG Harriet, those would be Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Linda

 

[Harriet]

They might also be too expensive. I have 10 loose stones that need homes. I''d love to have Leon do them all, but that''s impossible.

 

[Linda W]

I imagine it would be but......... wouldn''t it be wonderful if you could

Nothing to be jealous of, Ms. Padparascha.

 

[Linda W]

Harriet,

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yes you are right. I guess I am Ms. Padparadscha

In fact, I just bought 3 more little stones from NSC. I don''t know what to do with them. Maybe I have them made into one pendant, showing the different colors of the Padparadscha.

 

[Harriet]

That''s a great idea!
Incidentally, I''m thinking of paying NSC a visit.

I posted one Richard Homer cut for me. I don''t know how to link... but it is on "more good options" It is a soft mint and the right color- but not a WOW stone by itself. So my cat eye quest is sort of put to bed temporarily- but I bet I could find a better option with right color AND some more sparkle (prassiolite is kind of boring- thank goodness RH made it look great) This is why i am dying to see your mint tourmaline! Paraiba Intl has an awesome mint tourmaline princess cut that I thought maybe you bought! My BF wants to get me a tourmaline for my birthday -my birthstone- but I don''t want a pink one so being sort of liberal with birthstone color and searching for a bright blue/green tourmaline now!

 

[Linda W]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOW I really will be jealous Harriet. You will get to meet Steven Bliss. He is wonderful!!!!! I talk to him on the phone all the time. LOL LOL.

I''ll go look at the one cut for you. I wish I could buy the princess from Paraiba, but it''s out of my price range. My cushion is from them and is really bright.

I think my next acquisition will be a spinel, and not a sapphire though.
