Match Made in LT Heaven

[MrsM]

Just picked up my new ring this evening and I am over the moon with how it came out. Both the setting and stone were Loupe Troop purchases from wonderful Pricescope members. I scooped up the Ritani setting over a year ago as I had been wanting a plain split shank cushion halo ring. I waited patiently for a year for the right size stone to appear and last month, a perfectly sized tanzanite came up for sale. It is my first tanzy and I adore the color. The sales lady at jewelry store where I had it set, thought it was a sapphire! It looks pretty blue in the pictures but in certain indirect sunlight it sparkles gorgeous purple and blue.

Now onto the photos . (Pardon the close up of the dry wrinkly hand...)

it is beautiful, congratulations! I love this ritani split shank setting - I have to say that while I love my ER setting, half of me wonders what it would have been like set in this exact setting..

I hope you post more photos!

Thanks everyone! All the detailed analysis of stones on this forum has really helped me learn what to look for and to NOT settle unless I am totally happy. Sorry, not selling this one--will go to one of my daughters one day.

@minous I hold you responsible for my CS addiction. It all start with that teal blue spinel that I got from you

Will try to get more photos this weekend...

Well all I can say, is that you may have just relatively recently begun your addiction, but you have quickly mastered it as far as I can see from your colored stone jewelry. I can honestly say that there is not one piece of your jewelry that I do not covet.
