Here is a picture of the pretty Grossular Garnet I bought from a wonderful vendor that some of you may know...
I loved the pale cool color of the stone, like seawater sometimes looks in the Pacific Northwest where I am from...
Being one of my first Colored Stone purchases I was eager to have it set and wear it !
I lurked here for awhile, and finally contacted JKT.
I had just imagined a plain silvery bezel setting for a pendant (I am not big on imagination)
Thanks, crasru and Freke !
It is just beyond what I could have imagined....
And it is just blindingly sparkling in sun....
Well now that I have sweated over trying to post all these images,
it is time to go mix up some Margaritas and put out some snacks
in anticipation of the SUPER BOWL !!!!!!!!!!!! heh heh
I love it! I had been eyeing that stone for a while too, so I'm glad it went to a PSer. JKT always does a fantastic job. Is that green gold in the inner bezel and on the sides?
ETA: The stone really reminds me of my prasiolite that JKT also set in silver and green gold. I love that delicate green color.
Thanks for the kind comments Arcadian, jstarfireb, Lovinggems, mousey and Herekittykitty !
Yes, the bezel and sides are green gold.
It turned out really nicely with the color of the stone I thought.
Just subtle enough to *add* to the garnet without distracting !
jstarfireb, I love your prasiolite ring that she did, such a beauty!!!!
Thanks, tyty333 and Chrono.... I think she does lovely work, too
I honestly wouldn't have thought of green-gold, or anything as decorative as what she
imagined for this piece....
And no Chrono, I am not in the Trade!
I don't know how that happened, it somehow showed up
after I was messing around yesterday trying to attach an Avatar pic
Oh Aoife, so sweet !!!
I know most here prefer intensely colored stones, but I really was
drawn to the color of this one.
My whole family was marveling at the sparkle when it arrived,
we had never seen such a thing !!
I guess Grossular is like that!
Thanks, Mozo: I don't know how people come up with the designs that they do....
It's a creative marvel to me, like writing songs or painting something amazing....
Shiney,
