YIPPEE.....look at this BEAUTY I'm getting from Gary....it is more of his Nigerian pink tourmaline.  Here is his description: It turned out especially nice and the color is awesome (especially outdoors) - a hot rich pink. It's also a great ring size. 3.24 carats, 9.1mm. This is done in one of my favorite square cushion cuts, as this design is easy for jewelers to set in a 4-prong setting. It would also work great in a bezel setting. It's very nearly flawless (VVS) - just a very very small inclusion near the girdle on one edge. I need magnification to see it. Other than that it is totally clean. I'm thinking about going with James Meyer for a bezel setting....what do you think? Lori

Oh I love it! It's just a knock out. I don't know if I'd personally go with a James Meyer because it looks like a pretty modern cushion to me. Maybe a Caleb Meyer or an Ettiene Perret though.

Oh be still my beating heart! That is breath taking! I think a bezel setting would be perfect.

The first ring in this strip has a nice design. Thin out the split shanks a little and put your stone in there, I think it would be gorgeous. Caleb is James Meyer's son.

I love the colour, I think it'll look gorgeous in a JM. You can always email JM for setting ideas and see if you like his suggestions.

Yay Lori - more pink for you  However, I'm insanely jealous; that pink is soooo rich. You could set that baby in a twist-tie and it would look fabulous! And please tell me we're getting more pics!

If it looks just like the picture, it is a beautiful stone. However, I have noticed that Gary's pictures are always MUCH better than the stone in person (or at least the buyer's pictures and description) from the last few gemstones that were purchased by PSers. It seems that that the stone is quite a bit darker unless a strong light source is used during photography.

Photography has been a hobby of mine for over 30 years, but sometime even I get it wrong. I think this stone is way better in real life than my picture!

I wish I could take decent photos and show you what Gary's gemstones look like IRL....I'm blown away with the beauties that I've purchased from him. These pink tourmalines are especially amazing....this one because Mrs. Gary really liked it, too! Lori My Pretty Kitty Coco |

Date: 5/22/2009 2:09:24 AM Well, it's a good job you can't see me right now Lori, cos I'm dribbling on the floor. That cushion is just one stunning thing of pure beauty - gorgeous. Yes, another JM would look gorgeous! So much for downsizing your collection, you must be nearly back up to full strength!Author:loriken214 YIPPEE.....look at this BEAUTY I'm getting from Gary....it is more of his Nigerian pink tourmaline.

Just kidding, but I am sad, cause I love his work.

Well, DH changed out the bathroom lights to those "soft" lights and now the only decent lighting I had is gone. So, this means I can't capture the beauty, and sparkles, of my pretties AT ALL! I'm going to have to figure out a little light box and get the digi cam out of the box....all of these photos have been from my cell phone....I'm still paranoid about taking photos...I'm a newbie at it and my OCD comes out BIG TIME when I want them to be PERFECT! Maybe I can send them all to Liz...Freke...and she can capture their beauty for me? Lori My Pretty Kitty Coco |

Loriken, It looks sort of reddish orange in your picture. I hope you'll be able to get your little light box put together soon.
