I am happy to share my second major project on pricescope. The first major project was my wife’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring which you can find on the first page of the colored stone e-ring/eye candy section.

I returned to the same “A Team” I worked with before – Richard Orbach from CherryPicked for the colored stones, Bob Hoskins at Whiteflash for diamonds and settings, and Richard Sherwood for lab/appraisals. These gentlemen were once again a pleasure to work with; top notch material, work and service.

This tsavorite/diamond pendant celebrates the birth of our second daughter born last month at the end of May. The posts on pricesocpe on tsavorite and
elsewhere were most helpful in confirming my decision to use them instead of emeralds for a May birth stone. You will notice in one of the photos that there is an Alexandrite. I bought this thinking that our new daughter might be born in June. Now I have to find something to do with this rare and expensive little color change gem!
