Thanks Lauren. I''ve got a huge admission to make which will shock the asscher lovers to the core, but I prefer the square emerald cut to the asscher (no windmills). There''s just something about that balanced symmetry that blows me away every time I see one. Ellen''s aqua being the one that had the most profound effect on me. Tell me Lauren, how did you know I was enquiring about the stone? Did you want it too honey? I hear we are lucky it saw light of day at all. Mrs T liked it too!

Lori, back to your garnet. I am really anxious to hear about what you see in your stone, colour, dispersion, sparkle etc. What are you going to do with your stone?

 

[loriken214]

WOO HOO....Gailey....I''m SO excited that you got this one!!!!

I loved it, too, but couldn''t afford it right now.

What are you going to do with it????

I have SO many pretty gemstones in my collection and they are all in their little boxes just staring at me. If only I had an unlimited budget and lots of fingers..... No clue what to do with this stone!

Hehe, you posted in here about one that *stone* needed "confirmation" on, and I just KNEW it was that Tsav when I originally saw it. Mrs. T has great taste - and so do you!!!! You''re lucky I just bought a grossular garnet asscher from Gene, and I''m currently focused on finding a good elongated cushion red spinel right now, or I''d have been on that list, too.

I like windmills, but I can certainly see the attraction of more carre looking square emerald styles. That tsav is so pretty, and I know you''ll take wondeful pics when you get it!

 

[Stone Hunter]

WOW both stones look lovely ladies.

Obviously his web site doesn''t even get some stones before they''re snatched up by the people on his email!

Congrats!!

 

[Gailey]

Oh Lori, you make me giggle. I can''t afford it either Honey. I''ve got a 5 stone BGD ring coming, a 36" strand of Freshadamas (OK, haven''t actually ordered them yet) and so many setting projects, it''s getting silly.

But I saw it and I just knew I had to have it from the get-go.

I''m thinking classic 3 stone, but with a twist. Still mulling ideas over at the moment. What about a spess either side? We''ll see.

 

[loriken214]

Gailey, I''ve got asschers hidden all over my house! DH has no idea what treasures are in our house!

I''m ordering a tripod so I can finally take photos with my digi camera and stop using my crappy cell phone to take photos.

I''ve only set ONE of my asschers, a pink tourmaline, and I wasn''t really excited with the way it turned out...it has since been sold. I''m kinda gun shy now....

I can''t wait to see what you do with your awesome tsav!!!!

Gailey,
What’s that one? Looks like a very bright stone with an eye catching colour. Nice carre cut too.

 

[Gailey]

Chrono, it''s a tsav from Peter''s latest release. Can''t wait to see it. If it looks on the light side, I''ll bezel it. If not, then not sure. I need to see if it''s more of a blue or yellow green, before I decide how to set it. If it''s on the yellow side, maybe a spess either side. If it''s on the blue side, diamonds probably, once I''ve found some funds.

Lori, atta girl! As far as husbands go, gems are on a "need to know" basis, right! Mr Gailey has yet to find out about my BGD! Too much gem knowledge is not good for him!

I''m sorry your setting projects didn''t turn out the way you would have liked. I can appreciate being gun shy. I''m like that too, especially when you factor in the cross border thing. Canuk-gal wonders why I don''t use more Canadian craftsmen.

 

[loriken214]

The stone just arrived and all I can say is WOW!!! This beauty is just like a warm colored diamond! You should see the color flashes it throws...I''m SO in love with this pretty....it is one of my most favorite gemstones EVER!

Peter''s photo DOES not do it justice!

I need to send it to Freke so she can take great photos of it....Liz is a pro photographer.

Beautiful stones! Can''t wait to see what they look like set!

 

[loriken214]

What is the hardness of these garnets? Would they do OK in a ring?
