I finally have them, after 2 weeks of waiting.
Here is the backstory. I want to make a ring for my sister''s partner after she fell in love with my tsavorite ring. I was originally going to look for a tsav for her, than I found out her favorite color is orange. A spess would be perfect. I found this spess cab from swala and the price was right. The thing was he was going to loose money on shipping it. I have always wanted a stone from Swala, so I found a cute little cushion tsavorite that is just my style. I was going to ask my father to give it to me for Christmas, but he sent it to me now as a "congrats on taking your speciality boards test!" Now lets just hoped I passed
. I am sending the spess off to Sally tomorrow and she is going to design a setting for it, she will come up with the design after she sees it. The tsav I am going to keep loose for a while. I already have another tsav, but this one is very different. It is a brilliant cut and has a ton of sparkle. My other one is a step cut, and has a nice shine to it. They are different but equally beautiful, I can''t decide which one I like better.
So here are the stones.
1) 3.05 Loliondo Spessartite garnet 7.6x7.6x4 mm, mod included (although it is not as bad as I expected), I would describe it as orange with a bit of yellow.
2) 0.86 ct tsavorite garnet Tanzania, 5.9x5.8x3.8 cushion brillant, eye clean - this stone is a little darker than Eric''s photos, but it is not too dark at all.
