[Icy Melona]

Thank you for the pics! They are stunning!! Double drool worthy. I''ve scurried along and saved it onto my laptop so I can drool and dream about them during the day.

They remind me of the Tiffany Legacy which I adore...

 

[T L]

Wow Lauren,
You have an incredible collection. Is that sapphire an LOGR as well, it's gorgeous.

The garnet ring turned out beautifully. I was wondering if LOGR man could make you just two of the Legacy heads so you could make earrings out of them, or a pendant. That would look great, especially since you love that setting so much.

 

[geckodani]

OMG Lauren! It looks AMAZING!

 

[geckodani]

Um, Holy collection Batman. Can I come play in your jewelry box? Pleeeeeease?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thank you, SDL!

Tacroi, I''m pretty sure you love miligrain. Thank you, dear!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thank you for your kind words Kaleigh, Marcyc, BEG (can't wait to see yours now!), Laurel, Kelli, Fly Girl (I DO have that purple spinel already, and it will fit in the Legacy setting), Catmom, Linda ( the yellow EC is a native cut from Ebay - I lucked out on it!), DandiAndi, AdiS, Gladyskristen (ROFL), Icy Melona, and Tourmaline_lover (the blue sapphire isn't an LOGR, but the yellow is!) and GeckoDani (anytime, love!).

Miligrained or smooth - I can''t figure out which one I prefer!

Luaren - it''s beautiful!!! I have to say, while i love milgraining on edges, i think i prefer the smooth finish on the garnet ring - it looks so clean and smooth...and i love how the dark color pops in the halo of white...

Oh man I wish I lived closer, LOL!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

You must help me achieve a LOGR project!

 

[LD]

Oh my goodness - serious amounts of eye candy! I really don''t know whether I prefer the millgraining or not on your LOGR settings. The millgraining gives the Mozambique Tourmaline an antique feel and the smooth finish looks quite modern with the garnet - I have no idea which I prefer as they''re both lovely!!!

I adore your yellow sapphire. It''s just a perfect colour and seriously droolworthy!

Having said that, I love all your rings. A wonderful collection of rings Lauren.

What''s next on your list?

Thank you, Violet! I''m kind of torn on this one - I''m usually one for such modern and sleek settings, but the miligrain on that tourmaline steals my heart, too! I have to go buy some more red tops/clothes this weekend!

Thank you so much LovingDiamonds!

I think the cut, in combination with that miligrain just puts the mozambique at the top of my list, and now this chunky garnet! I love them both!

I actually am done for the time being. I have the chrysoberyl to set in another LOGR setting, but I''m not 100% sold on it yet, so I may wait until Barry comes back online so I can find something I adore from him!

I also have a round bezel set halo on the way that I''m going to tuck away until I can afford an ACA for it. It may be years before I get to that one!

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Wow, what an impressive collection!

 

[T L]

Lauren,
Thanks for the tip on the pointed prongs. I had my jeweler now do that on my LOGR setting when putting in the stone. It looks fab.

Your collection is just amazing!!
