My Tsavorite Garnet Ring

[marcy]

I picked up the tsavorite at the Tucson Gem Show last week. It is cushion 1.07. The mounting is 1/4 ctw.

A few more photos.

These were all taken with flash. I will try to get some with sunlight and natural light.

 

[marcy]

Okay just one more for tonight.

 

[GliderPoss]

Wow that is positively scrumptious! Confess I know little about these garnets but your ring looks very beautiful.

 

[marcy]

Thanks HotPozzum. Pricescope introduces us to all sorts of wonderful new gemstones. And I want one of each.

[ooo~Shiney!]

I LOVE the stone and the setting really shows it to advantage !!!!
Tsavorite is one of my ultimate favorite green stones, so sparkly and gorgeous!
Congratulations!!!!!

Just lovely!

Excellent choice of tsavorite all round; good colour, pleasing shape and well cut. Is the center basket yellow gold or white? I can tell the ring has a 2 toned metal but cannot quite make out the metal colour of the center basket.

how you photographed the green of a stone so well I dont kow , but that is gorgeous. Lively and cheerful. Wonderful for setting the tone for springtime! Congratulations!

 

[Largosmom]

Nice stone! And let me add my congrats on the photography, nice job!

 

[PinkTower]

Marcy, I love your stone and ring. I've got a tsav, and I hope to set mine just like yours. Who knows, maybe I will get to set it in 2011!!

I agree with everyone else - great stone/ring and a GREAT job of photographing that green stone!!!!!! (not easy I know)

Here are a few more pictures. We finally had some sunlight.

Thanks, Selkie. My husband was a big help. He uses a loop, checks the facets and studies the gems very carefully. All my blathering about gemstones has sunk in.

Thank you, Ltlfirecracker. The color was exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you herekittykitty.

Ooo-Shiney! (I love your name), we couldn’t believe how the setting really set off the stone. There was no contest picking out a setting.

Thank you Tourmaline Lover.

Chrono, the baskets for the stones is white gold. I appreciate the kind words about the stone. I told Marty it was a good thing he was with me because I get so excited I forget to look at some of the fine details. I just knew when I saw it this one was a keeper.

Sharon, thank you.

Pandora, I have always loved your ring so I am glad to join the tsavorite crowd.

Thank you Arcadian.

VapidLapid, I was rather surprised the color came out true to life in my point and shot camera. It was more luck than skill. It is a great color for springtime. Thank you.

Thank you Largosmom.

Pink Tower, I can’t wait to see your tsavorite ring - hopefully sooner than later. Thank you.

Colorluvr, thank you. I appreciate it.

 

[Burberrygirl]

Beautiful tsav! I like the setting you picked too. I wish I set my stones as fast as you!

 

[marcy]

Thank you Burberrygirl. I think the reason I get my gems set so fast is because I am not what you would call a patient person. I work on it though, really.

 

[Fly Girl]

Beautiful green stone and a lovely ring. I love that shade of green. Well done!

 

[marcy]

Thank you, Fly Girl.

 

[Harriet]

It's lovely, Marcy. How did you capture the green?

Btw, I reached the Convention Centre at 10:30 am too!

 

[marcy]

Harriet, we probably were walking in the door at the same time. Rats. If only we'd known. No skill involved on capturing the green, my photos are all just as my camera captured the image; I just cropped them down in size. Green must be a good color for my camera.

 

[Aoife]

Marcy, that's a lovely tsavorite, and the classic setting suits it beautifully!
