The emerald necklace is so feminine.

Since there are so many spinel fans on PS- colored stones, here's a spinel necklace from Harry Winston.

I WANT the ruby & the emerald necklaces. Want want want!

How about a tourmaline necklace?

I have a soft spot for red spinels. Ahhh. Thank you for posting this, TL. My little red spinel looks like that sometimes.

Pink sapphire and Paraiba necklace (forgot where it came from, I found it on Google images), I'm debating using this color scheme to set my seafoam cuprian oval..

 

[LoversKites]

I think the colour scheme is beautiful and sweet, Mochiko.

 

[mochiko42]

I think it's a bit too girly for me if it were a necklace, but in a ring it might work. Like candy!!

Wow, could have fooled me as a ruby necklace. Truly spectacular!

 

[lambskin]

Chrono- me too! I thought those were rubies.

 

[minousbijoux]

I can't believe the sheer amount of bixbite it must have taken to make that necklace - how did they find it all and in those sizes!

 

[Starzin]

Isn't it absolutely amazing?

You can buy the emerald cut version at http://davidmoy.com/wp_site/?product_cat=emeralds Yes, if you read the bit under the photo above there were THREE necklaces of different cuts!!!

OTOH... Equatorium apparently made this spectacular bracelet as well - I've just taken a bit of the pic - go to the Natural History Museum of LA mineral sciences blogspot and click on the photos for the big versions - these people understand we need close ups! http://nhminsci.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/tucson-part-1-gem-shows.html

No wonder this stuff's rare - Equatorium have got it all

 

[pregcurious]

I would be too scare to wear a bixbite and tanzanite bracelet. Imagine dropping that!

 

[lilmosun]

Yeah, LK. PS flattens it out & of course no photo shows the glow of paraibas. It looks better on the jeweler's site. http://www.martinkatz.com/collection/high/necklaces-2/#highjewelry-necklaces-8811

Here's the bracelet, again, better in the original photo:

Too soft to wear on the wrist anyway

Don't!!!

And always stand on carpet to put on and take off jewellery

 

[JewelFreak]

If necessary I'd just frame & hang it so I could stare at it. Gorgeous.

I realized I would have to go to Tucson with somebody strong, who could hold onto me & my wallet. The opals are knockouts in the NHM blog & I love the Boulder Opal -- looks like a rocker t-shirt. The Paraiba pendant goes without description; there is no fitting one.

now, that is one crazy collection. it took me years to find one small red beryl of that quality on sale. anyone know that price tag of that masterpiece?

 

[LoversKites]

And I wonder how long it took them. Yeesh. Beautiful.
