BGD/Barry Brigestock Tourmaline Ring

[bling addict]

I started a thread in SMTR, but thought I''d just post one set of pics here for those that don''t frequent SMTR.
I had my Barry Bridgestock supernova tourmaline set by Brian Gavin Diamonds, you''ll see that I went off in a completely different direction to what had been discussed in a previous thread...wasn''t expecting to, but discussing the design with Brian, ended up wanting something feminine, which I think this is and decided to go with all platinum.

Brain Gavin Diamonds were great to work with, both Brian and Lesley were generous with their time. I think the workmanship on the ring is exquisite, Brian''s photos are much better than mine and I posted them all in the SMTR thread, and I adore Barry''s stones

4.27 ct Mozambique tourmaline, platinum ring.

I hardly ever look in at SMTR so thanks for posting the pics here. That is one lovely ring, you must be thrilled.

An absolutely different, substantial yet feminine setting! Thanks for the heads up as I rarely peek into SMTR section.

I only have my one stone by barry, but I''m sorely tempted to expand my collection from him!

Such a great ring! The more I see from Brian the more impressed I am!

The tourmaline color and cut looks awesome, and the setting is very striking. I would love to see larger pictures for more detail of the setting.

Lovely ring and that Tourmaline''s colour is divine, I love the vintage feel of the ring.

Thank you Klewis and Chrono for your kind words - I always come straight to coloured stones, so figured there would be others who were the same

Thanks MTG, I don''t have many stones by Barry (yet) but I always want to set them when I get them...this was supposed to wait until next year....but I couldn''t wait

Thanks Kay, I''m glad you found the other thread with Brian''s photos showing more detail, I tried posting them in this thread, but it wouldn''t let me I think because they are in the other thread.

Thanks loving gems

It''s beautiful. Thank you for posting something in CS because I''m rarely in SMTR as well.
