I call her Princess Bubble Yum...

[Kelli]

She's wearing a crown, and she's so bright and sparkly she looks fake (in a good way)! I guess I'm not used to good quality gemstones, and I'm in LOVE.

7.5mm Afghani pink tourmaline from gemfix.com in a Stuller setting.

Very pretty!! Where did you get the mount?

It looks gorgeous on your hand!! Love the way it looks pink and then purple.

 

[Kelli]

Thanks for looking! Never thought myself as much of a pink person, but when I saw this stone I had to have it, and this is probably about the girliest thing I own.

 

[Kelli]

Thank you txgreeneyes! It's from Stuller. I went to stuller.com and looked at findings, where I picked the basket and the shank separately. My local jeweler put it together for me for $250. It's a good thing I love solitaires because they're about all I can afford!

Wow that stone is lovely! Both colors are great and bright!

I love her in all her pink glory!!! She looks amazing on your hand! Wear her in health and happiness!

 

[JewelFreak]

That was incredibly fast! She looks really gorgeous -- I am not a pink stone person, but this one is a knockout. What a color changer -- and what colors! The setting is just perfect & looks SO nice on your hand. I love the whole thing!

WOW! Gorgeous!

 

[bluebirrrd]

Great stone with an adorable name and I LOVE your setting choice! It all comes together so beautifully. Well done!

Woah! Love the colour shift and she looks regal in her crown setting.

 

[Kelli]

Thanks guys! I'm very much a newbie and your approval is reassuring, given the collective knowledge on this forum. It really was fast- that's another thing I enjoy about local jewelers and stock settings. After this purchase I'm definitely on the colored stone trolley. Truth be told I've always wanted to start a collection but never had the funds or the knowledge. Thanks to you guys, it's only the funds that'll hold me back

 

[peacechick]

The crown setting turned out great! And the stone is beautiful

you are not alone..............

 

[kgizo]
