Tsav, tourmaline, Mahenge . . . oh my!

[athenaworth]

I've had this tsav sitting around for a couple of years. I bought it from the lovely Kelpie. It's included, but I love the inclusions because it's almost sleepy, and it's the most perfect glowing bluish green color I've ever seen. I used to keep it loose in a box in my desk and stare at it once or twice an hour, but I never knew what I wanted to do with it. Then I bought this little Barry Mahenge which was originally Fortekitty's. The two of them hung out in my jewel box in my desk for about a year. I loved the colors together and finally came up with a good idea. Bezel, 14k yg stackers! I love them. I've never had stackers before so they'll take a little getting used to but I love them alone too. And you all know I have a major crush on YG.

I also got a blue (with a hint of green) Barry Tourmaline from the lovely Fortekitty (what would I do without you, girl?) and had it set in my original ering setting today. I'm just blinging out here!

Here are a few pics that I took. I'm on a bling high, can you tell??

OMG I loooove these!! The YG (on the stackers) looks thick and delicious with those juicy gems, I adore those. I would love something like that...if you ever get bored of those rings, let me know

Nice rings, who made the setting for gold stacking rings? Thanks! Look like candy!

Love the brushed gold settings, and what awesome colors!

Thanks everyone!! Alice, I had them made by a jeweler in downtown LA. It was a bit of a test run to see how he does, and he did pretty great, so I'm sure you'll be seeing more of his work.

Great, any info or a website for him? Look good, I like how smooth it is, almost fluid.

Unfortunately he's not really working with the general public yet, but I'm going to make a good strong effort to get him to start. He's really very skilled and seems like a really honest and nice guy, which is hard to find in downtown LA.

Love the brushed satiny finish for the stackers - such a beautiful touch for the stones.

Beautiful rings and stones!

Since I decided to keep my JW sapphire, I reset it in a temp 14k Tiffany style setting for the time being. Low and behold, it works well with my stackers (thanks for the idea Fortekitty).

 

[chrono]

"Oh my" indeed; I'm glad you are keeping your stackers. The blue sapphire looks great in yellow and very at home with the other stackers.

Since you just sold your Mahenge and Tsav...What does that mean for your beautiful sapphire?? Obviously I have been through your threads Are you keeping this or selling it?

 

[athenaworth]

How sweet of you to ask. Actually, the reason for the stacker sale was because I bought a forever setting for the sapphire. I'm getting it set today.

 

[hathalove]

Oh wow! How exciting. Please show us when your done. I saw that stone when you first listed it. Was just over the top end of my first colored stone budget I set for a whole ring setting and stone. So it's somewhat of a relief in a sense. Although I have been having a hard time fingering out if I want minty, minty blue, blue, or blue green. I love your blue green tourmaline too!!

 

[katharath]

I think that's wonderful and honestly I think it was REALLY smart of you to keep that sapphire. It's so beautiful!

 

[partgypsy]

MMM I love the colors of the stones and the settings are to die for! I really like how the bezels have different widths and personalities to stack together or not.
I was going to ask also where you had them set but I see it someone in LA (not planning on visiting any time soon).

[hathalove]

Oh wow!!! This is amazing. So beautiful and looks perfect in that setting. This deserves to be worn daily!!!

 

[katharath]

Omg, that is to die for!!! I think it's one of my very favorite rings that I've seen on PS, I love it so much!
