I am a saturated stone lover as well and both of those stones are amazing! I really covet that red one!

Sparklies, holy heck! I love those!!!! Wow, what beauties. I'm so excited for your setting idea for the red, as well.
Kb1gra- what a gorgeous ring, the setting was a superb choice. Wear it in health!
Niel- thank you for the color tip! I'm tempted to try it.... but scared as I did promise my hairdresser I would never, ever, ever, ever, put box dye on my hair again.... maybe I'll ask him first, lol. I'm only a couple of months post a hair disaster debacle.
Deskjockey, very nice stone! I love your nails, too!!!

DJ the zircon is beautiful and I know zircons to be even more sparkly IRL. I love that it will be at the center of such a meaningful projects

sparklies so glad you dove into the mahenge pool head first and had some cut by Jeff White. I love squares and rectangles and I'm gaga over the redder one. Can't wait for the hand shots

Thank you very much, picante, Lovinggems and Lisa! I can't wait to get them and check them out in real life.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

My JW spinels arrived! I'm so in love with both of them. I'll start a new thread once I begin the design process.

Wow, that red one is REALLY red! Lovely!

 

[Acinom]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Beautiful stones!!! I love that gorgeous red

 

[Sungura]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Lovely stones. I'm especially attracted to the red one. Enjoy your new pretties

 

[SparkliesLuver]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thank you very much, minou, Acinom and Sungura. The red one is definitely beautiful - I knew it'd have my heart from the beginning. Admittedly, I was a bit unsure about the smaller, pink one (as I'm not a real big pink person); however, it is very, very pretty and the picture doesn't do it justice. Now onto design plans ...

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Sparklieslover, what gorgeous gems! Very much looking forward to following your designs

Just a couple shots of my sungura purple garnet ring and afghan tourmaline from Ryan Quartz ( I think I misspelled his name,forgive me)

 

[minousbijoux]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

That Afghani tourmaline is stunning! Wowza.

 

[Acinom]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Oooh! The correct spelling is Ryan Quantz. The correct classicication is amazingly beautiful to the max what a warm and saturated colour. I like!!!!
You have made a great choice.

 

[SparkliesLuver]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thank you very much, apacherose. Your tourmaline is gorgeous! I sincerely hope you're keeping it. It looks fabulous on your hand!

 

[Sungura]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

apacherose. Two super acquisitions here! Of course I love the purple garnet ring since I am so in love with its twin The tourmaline has all the colors I tend to learn towards: blues and greens. How does it look to you IRL?

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Beautiful new stones (tourmaline and spinels), everyone!

 

[picante27]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

apacherose, wow! The garnet and the tourmaline are both stunning!

 

[SapphireStyle]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

I have never loved purple, but this thread is really changing my mind! Gorgeous, all of them!!!!

Beautiful! I love them both.

 

[apacherose]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Thank you for the complements- I am indeed thrilled with these and will be keeping the tourmaline. Thanks Acininom, Ryan Quantz. In his line of work he might consider Quartz anyway, lol. Sorry I think I'm still loopy from the turkey.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Sparklies I'm late to the game but what a gorgeous red spinel and that pink is nothing to sneeze at either! Looking forward to seeing them set and at proper viewing distance i.e. on your outstretched hand!

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

So I was never planning to buy a topaz but the size and cut captured me, plus the price. It's 12mm and should be here shortly.

I'm the worst and forgot to cxl an account off PayPal I was closing though so that'll be a whole to-do to fix, but other than that I'm excited to see it.

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Niel - I'd waffling over that topaz all day, so I'm very glad you put me out of my misery! Please post some pics when you receive it! Do you have any tentative setting plans?

 

[Acinom]

Re: Catch all thread - talk or better yet show us

Beautiful! Great choice Niel.
Any setting plans yet?
