Barry''s Pink Tourmaline Supernova Oval is here!

[geoffreysnow]

Just got this in the mail yesterday. Absolutely love the color, it''s the perfect shade of pink we were looking for. The facets are nice and chunky and this has to be one of the brightest stones I''ve ever seen!

It''s a 5.26 ct 11.8x9.8mm tourmaline from mozambique

First pic is the color with natural sunlight in the shadow

I love it! how will you set it? its such a gorgeous Pink!

right now the plan is to have it set in a ring with a rose gold rope design similar to the (horribly photoshopped) attached image

That is one of the brightest and flashiest tourmalines I''ve ever seen - just stunning! Love the rope-style setting you''ve chosen, too!
