What is Everyone's Updated Dream List?

[SB621]

Can we start a new Dream Sheet List? Things have been quiet lately all over PS so let's do a little day dreaming

I feel like mine hasn't really changed much in the last year. I'm still on the hunt for the same 3 stones.

1- A med. blue sapphire with purple mod. ( I think this dream is about to be finalized but it might be too small so I either to compromise on size or just throw this one out). That and I'm just sick about hearing about sapphires....it is actually turning my hunt into headache.

2- A med green tsav in either an oval or pear shape

3- And finally my holy grail a lavendar spinel- don't care about shape just want it be the perfect shade of lavender with a touch of purple and perwinkle (sounds easy right?!)

**I think I want to add on an orange spess which has really been growing on me. My daughter was born on Halloween and since I lost my FLY halo I got for her birth I love the idea of getting a bright orange stone to represent her. My fiery little girl Perhaps an assher cut and throw it into the baquette setting that LOGR makes? I think that would look steller!

Edit- Here are photos just so you have a visual. My apologies as I know sapphire and spinel ring below to PSers but I forget who. I think the sapphire is DB or AJ. I hope you don't mind me posting!

 

[pregcurious]

Does anyone know the owner of the sapphire ring above. Base don the leather box, it looks like a Leon Mege creation.

 

[jstarfireb]

Right now all I really want is a saturated bluish green vanadium chrysoberyl. Not easy to find, though!

 

[sphenequeen]

Electric blue Luc Yen spinel
Pink conch pearl with strong flame structure
Tiny fancy blue emerald cut diamond

 

[FrekeChild]

My first list is a project list.

1. tsavorite earring drops. Have the stones, just need to get it done already.
2. Merelani Mint setting
3. Lavender tanzanite setting
4. Lavender spinel setting
5. Setting for cushion Mahenge spinel
6. Diamond and Mahenge spinel ring
7. Red spinel band

Wish list:
1. Orange spess like Miraclesrule's (I have a pic! )
2. Brown zircon like Miraclesrule's (I don't have a pic. )
3. Fancy yellow diamond, princess/cushion/radiant to fit in my mom's setting.
4. Probably something else I'll dream up along the way.

 

[JewelFreak]

Tsav, round or cushion -- the Swala one you posted is the exact color, Sarah! I've looked at that.
Merelani Mint
A yellow something -- citrines are too brown, can't afford a big enough diamond, hard to find a yellow sapphire w/out modifier, maybe chryso if not too green -- this is an "I'll know it when I see it" stone
Cat's eye chrysoberyl

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

This is a fun thread!


Gemstones:

Vanadium chrysoberyl- that perfect minty green.

I have 1.65 carat light blue sapphire- I want a larger one with some lavender shift.

A vibrant purple sapphire.

Blue green sapphire- on the lighter side and very sparkly.

Color change garnet- one that is not too dark, with a beautiful daylight shade of blue or green.

A vibrant pinkish ruby- a girl can dream can't she?

Projects:

I just picked up a small vivid rose pink spinel from Dana, would love to set it in a ring.

Three stone ring with Mahenge spinel as center stone. I have the spinel, need two .50 carat diamond side stones.

I have a 1.24 carat diamond that I would love to set in a flower style ring with a gemstone/diamond halo.

 

[minousbijoux]

I honestly don't know any more. I've wanted the perfect spess for forever, but hardly look any more. A lavender spinel, definitely. And I think that's it...

But then someone says vanadium chyrosberyl, and I think: "oh yeah, that too!" Someone else mentions a vibrant blue luc yen and I think: "I'm there! Me too!" And then someone adds purple sapphire and a color change garnet and I smack my head and think: "How could I possibly have left them off the list!" Ya see the fundamental problem I have?!!

OHHH! I'm a Halloween baby too!!! Best birthday EVER

 

[chrono]

I am fairly sure the blue sapphire halo ring belongs to DianaB, custom set by Leon Mege. I don't have any particular wish list; I'll know it when I see it. Project wise, I want to set my FCDs into a single ring, the tsavorite and Mahenge spinel combo ring too.

 

[SB621]

OHHH! I'm a Halloween baby too!!! Best birthday EVER

DH and I met in New England and used to spend Halloween in Salem. It might be overboard but I planned my 2nd pregnacy so I would give birth in October because I loved that month and I was hoping it would be on Halloween. It worked out well!

 

[chrono]

SB,
I once purchased an asscher cut spessartite; this was at least 7 years ago. Haven't seen such a cut design on a spessartite again although LTP did buy a step cut spess. Yes, it's rather uncommon.

 

[SB621]

Does anyone know the owner of the sapphire ring above. Base don the leather box, it looks like a Leon Mege creation.

Yes it is a famous PS ring from a few years ago. To me this is THE RING that started it all. It belongs to DianaBanana. It is a Jeff White sapphire (and Chrono would remember but I think this ring also made Jeff known for his sapphire colors???!!) and the setting is by Leon Mege when he was the doll of PS.

Pictures pictures!!! Did you set it? I'm dying to know. Of course if you want to sell it you know my email as well

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! A red spinel band and you have 2...did I read that right 2 lavender stones. I have to be doing something wrong these days

 

[pregcurious]

Thanks Chrono and SB621 for IDing the ring. It's a beauty.

My dream list (including projects).

-Yellow diamond melee halo setting for my ering diamond (in progress)
-Diamond and platinum setting for my red spinel (have stone)
-Peach sapphire in pink gold halo (have stone)
-Cushion neon chrysoberyl for my old ering setting (have setting)
-Emerald cut emerald for a three stone or halo ring
-Blue sapphire three stone or halo ring (least likely to happen because of the popularity of blue sapphires)

 

[chrono]

SB,
I returned the asscher spessartite because the saturation wasn't strong enough; I did waffle hard about keeping it because it really was beautiful though. It was from All That Glitters.

Yup, I bought the red spinels (they are about 2.5mm) a long time ago.

Yes, two lavender stones. I bought them from friends. One is an asscher spinel from Peter and one is a cushion from Gene. See pics below!

Oh, and I forgot the yellow diamond band.

 

[thisvintagehart]

1. A spinel blue cushion, cut like a slightly modern OMC.



2. A blue/green/yellow Montana Sapphire, any shape

 

[thisvintagehart]

3- And finally my holy grail a lavendar spinel- don't care about shape just want it be the perfect shade of lavender with a touch of purple and perwinkle (sounds easy right?!)

Like this?!

Yummm.

 

[jstarfireb]

Someone mentioned a conch pearl. Barry still has this available:

And for those looking for tsavorite, check out Prima Gems USA on ebay. They have some very nice looking medium green ovals and pears around 1ct.

Well that is pretty but it definitely looks purple to me. I want a lavendar/ perwinkle type of coloring. but I do like the oval!

I can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous those are!!!!!!!! I want!!! I just love that hue/ color. I think I just need to throw a thread up and have everyone search for me. I realy want to get a lavendar stone if ew are leaving the country. I have looked for 4 plus years and now I feel pressure to find one in 6 months!

 

[Rosebloom]

Hate to be so predictable, but my HG stone is a blue sapphire. I was engaged with one 13 years ago. I'd like to update my engagement ring to be my dream "wear it every day forever and pass it down to the grandkids someday" ring. My current sapphire is the "royal" blue color that is so popular right now. Not nearly as dark as Diana/Kate's ring but a deep blue with electric blue flashes. It doesn't black out in low light, but I'd say it "navy's out." For my next stone, I want a different type. I'm looking for a medium or medium light, super saturated, well cut. I love cornflower blue. Would be happy with violet, periwinkle, or green modifiers (but no brown). I want something fairly sizable in a round (8-9.5mm), oval/EC/elongated cushion (9x7 - 11 x9), asscher (8x8 - 10x10). Heat only is fine. My budget will probably be around $6k for the stone but I'm trying to wait until the end of the year (bonus season!) to purchase. I have one stone I visit online daily and am praying it doesn't get scooped before I'm ready to buy! I plan to set it in a LM/SK/VC three or five stone.

 

[OTL]

I really want some nice clarity sugarloaves lately. I don't even care what are they

facet stones I want:

medium tone padpardscha sapphire
medium tone purple sapphire like the one LD set in three halos...
a 3ct yellow sapphire (cushion)

 

[SB621]

Freke do you have a thread on that lavendar asscher? I'm dying to know more about it.

 

[FrekeChild]

Hey SB! Sorry I missed your post before.

1.63ct, 6.2mm Asscher from Peter Toracca

I have two threads with it in there. It's really hard to photograph, and I haven't given a good effort when it's by itself. Maybe I'll try it out sometime soon!

[athenaworth]

This is now my dream. 5cts of yumminess. Unfortunately it cost more than my ering and I don't think DH is feeling that generous.

 

[sphenequeen]

Electric blue Luc Yen spinel
Pink conch pearl with strong flame structure
Tiny fancy blue emerald cut diamond

Adding that I am currently looking for the perfect vintage emerald cut diamond and still would love a velvety "Kashmir blue" sapphire. So little money and so many wants!

 

[Lula]

It's a settings year for me: My chartreuse chrysoberyl, my aquamarine, a small color-shift sapphire I bought from Gary, and a beautiful piece of maw sit sit I bought this summer all need to be set. Because I've spent my time hoarding stones rather than photographing them, the only one of these stones that has a proper thread is the chrysoberyl.
