BGD Setting + Swala Tsavorite = Much Happiness!!

[portia]

I'm so pleased with how this turned out. From the time BGD received my stone to the day I received it back was less than 3 weeks. I am so impressed with the communication, the workmanship and the turnaround time. Jamie was fantastic to work with! Thank you Jamie!!

I don't have any hand photos yet, only the BGD photos. Will have to take hand shots tomorrow.

2.95ct. Tsavorite in BGD Legacy-inspired setting...

*Great* stone - who cut that?

 

[arjunajane]

Portia,
this is just beautiful! That first front on shot is breathtaking.
I was actually hoping to ask you a few questions as I am currently deciding on a tsav from Swala and your input
would be appreciated..I tried to post in your thread about the gem but it is locked.
Do you mind if I ask here?

Congrats again, so pretty!

Thanks Portia!

I currently have 3 different ones of roughly the same size but different cuts on hold, and am just waiting for Eric to get back from traveling to discuss options for going up perhaps another ~half ct - it's not like I'm going to be buying another fine tsav anytime soon, right - may as well do it right
I am choosing ones from the new find that was mined whilst looking for tanzanite.

I was wondering if you have Swala's listing photo for your stone?
Did you find the colour matched what you expected from photos and descriptions? (Personally, it's very important to me
that mine is not overly dark in tone..)
How do you find the cutting, as your cushion looks very nicely faceted in the photos. (Eric advised it is not precision cutting like in the US sense, but the ones I'm considering are all nicely cut.)

Cheers for offering your advice, can't wait to see your photos!

 

[dreamer_dachsie]

Wow, I am in love! Can't wait to see your own photos!!

 

[lknvrb4]

Your ring is gorgeous.

 

[oranges]

wow!!! your ring is spectacular

 

[yennyfire]

Oh wow, it's simply stunning! I can't wait to see some handshots!

 

[gemgirl]

portia, it's absolutely stunning in every way. The stone, the mounting, the workmanship - all gorgeous! I'm anxious to see it on your hand. How large is your Tsav mm wise; and what size if your finger?

 

[luv2sparkle]

Wow, that is truly beautiful! Wow and wow!

 

[Tuckins1]

Oooh, very nice!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Wowee!!!! Cant wait to see more pics!

 

[SeattleSweetheart]
