I haven''t had time to take photos, but I am really enjoying my James Meyer ring set with a tsavorite from Precision Gem. The workmanship is terrific and the tsavorite, which was a little light on its own, looks incredible (if I do say so myself...).

It''s not fair!! Stomping feet!! You have not just one, but two gorgeous tsavorite rings!!

Can you tell I''m a very jealous?

I just bought another blue green tourmaline...I have no self control, lol. This one is about 9x5, and cut in Jeff Graham''s Smith Bar cut, which I believe is the one that looks pixelated in photos.

Yay!

 

[Arcadian]

Just bought: Tell me what you think it is!

[VapidLapid]

Though I really like it, its not the right color green though its great for a specimin.

This is the color green I would want to set: and would have gotten but its on the rather small side.

Tsavvy, your new tsav ring is gorgeous!!

 

[Indylady]

Gorgeous indocolite! Do you know how you''ll set it?

I received this stone from Gene on Friday. After I saw Virgoruby''s asscher I emailed him to ask if he had any rough that looked similar. I needed a round though since I have a particular Sally setting in mind. I really like the color of this tourmaline. Haven''t gotten around to taking any of my own photos.

Cind,
That''s a lovely tourmaline! The round cut is going to bring out an amazing brilliance.

 

[y2kitty]

Doug at Bespoke gems sent me some large photos of gems I was interested in. I didn''t get this VS quality spess round brilliant, but its on his website & gorgeous!

 

[cellentani]

I finally got a couple of my loose stones set. Many of you have already seen this in the SMTR thread, but the finished ring just arrived this morning!

 

[cellentani]

as you probably remember, I''ve had the Intergem setting and asscher zircon for awhile, but I finally got them set in NY too! I''m very happy with both!

 

[brandy_z28]

Yowza!

Gorgeous rings cellentani!

 

[fierypyropixy]

*drool* I love how the round peridot works with the squared setting . . . just love it.

Cind11, your stone is gorgeous! So lucky you''ve already got it! Mine hasn''t arrived yet... I''m in Europe, so I''m so hoping that my package is not stranded at an US airport (due to cancellation of flights following volcanic eruption in Iceland)...

Cellentani,
Both rings are beautiful...

Could you tell me where you got the stones... also, what are the stats?

 

[packrat]

Cind, beautiful tourmaline! What Sally setting are you thinking of, or is it a surprise?

Cell, oh my goodness both of those rings are stunning! Really eye catching!

 

[chrono]

Cellentani,
Who cut that gorgeous peridot? Gene? The setting you picked for it is amazing and fits perfectly!

 

[cellentani]

Thanks everyone - it''s been awhile since I''ve had anything set, so this has been a really fun day!

virgoruby and Chrono, the peridot is 3.64ct, 9.45mm (across the flats) cut by Gene, and the asscher zircon is 5.4ct, 9.1mm, and cut by Gary Braun. There are some additional pics in this CS thread.

 

[VapidLapid]

Um, yeah, like she said.

I hope you will get your stone sooner rather than later! I just sent mine off today to Sally in Thailand.

Thnks packrat! I am going to have her do a Freefly/katebar setting. I love bezels. The side wraps and center bezel will be rose gold and the rest of the ring wll be yellow gold.
