Check out the original thread in the Colored Gems Forum, but upon BrightSpot's suggestion, I figured I'd post it here, too.



Specs:
Green Tourmaline in "modified princess" cut (octagonal) by Barry Bridgestock and sold by acstones.com. 8.4mm, 3.07 cts. It looks more like it does in my avatar than in these pics.

Setting is custom made in white gold, with 6 2mm diamonds, hand engraving, and faux fishtail prongs.
For those of you who haven't been following my threads (I stick mostly to the CG forum), my BF and I have been on the hunt for thr perfect non-diamond e-ring for sometime. We started with blue sapphires, thought maybe padparadschas, maybe even star sapphires... moved onto emerald, but quickly became more interested in other greens like tsavorites and demantoids. Then I saw this tourmaline and fell absolutely in love with it. The ring is totally unique and totally us. Yay!

I'm so glad you posted it here, so everyone can see it.  Of course I have been following your thread in the other forum and was waiting for that pot to boil.  It is truly amazing, the detail of the setting is sheer perfection.  I for one can't wait for the hand shots.  The stone is awesome!!!!!!

I'm so glad you posted your beauty in the SMTR thread!  I am just in love with your ring!  It's absolutely perfect! 

(though, like belle, I got excited when I saw this thread & thought you might have it on your finger...)  I can't wait to see the hand shots!  Do you know if your bf has the ring yet?

How are your teeth, btw?

Thanks guys, you are so sweet! Yes, it is certianly a unique piece, but that's perfect for me!

The ring is in my BF's possession. I haven't seen it in real life yet (only the center stone). It should be presented to me any day now. It's LIW issue, now!

WOW!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!  (I've seen your avatar, but rarely read the colored stone forum, so I didn't know you had this ring design planned!)  It's fabulous. 

AMAZING

I just read that your bf has the ring.  How exciting! 

I hope the wait is not long (I don't think it will be!)  I can't wait to see it on your finger & hear about his sweet proposal!

Since I am pressed for time, I'll just cut and paste from the CG post I just did:

I was the recipient of my ring last night... Yay! I'm engaged! Yargle! (Yes, that was an exclamation of utter excitement and joy!)

No pictures yet, unfortunately. It's gorgeous, though, let me tell you!

Sorry I've been so MIA lately. I wrapped up my job and now am getting ready to leave the state (by the end of the month), so things have been pretty stressful around here...

There's been so many gorgeous threads I wanted to comment on, but no time...

Just like right now... Eek! GTG!
