Very pleased to be able to keep this Tsavorite cut by Jeff White, as the colour is very vivid and lively, and it is very clean, and big being over 2ct!
Roughs for finished stones over 2ct of this quality are increasingly difficult to find.
I prefer a medium green and this stone is perfect for me; hence I am really happy that I can keep it for myself afterall!
It will be set in a ring as a present to myself for my significant birthday very soon.
Screenshot capture of the stone from the video he sent to me:
Photos of my own taken in various lighting:
Inspiration ring setting:
I have requested for the following changes to the inspiration ring:
- Add an air line/gap between the scrolls and the centre stone
- Rose Gold to be used for the bezel setting to bring out the green
- Plain comfort shank 4mm at the top tapering to 3mm at the bottom
- 14K White Gold
- Quotes for both natural and lab grown diamonds
In the end I opted for natural diamonds as the price different for small melees is negligible.
Initial CAD that I rejected as the air line/gap is missing and the gallery is too plain:
Revised CAD that I approved, to me, it is a nicer ring than the original one. However, that was before I noticed the increased in height of the gallery by 1.5mm, DOH! I just e-mailed my usual contact at the bench to see if the gallery can be lowered, hope it is not too late as I approved the revised CAD 2 days ago, DOH!!!
I may have to live with this if it had gone into production as it is a rushed order in the hope it will be finished before their annual closure for Chinese New Year which is earlier on 29 January 2025 this year.
I shall provide updates as and when I get them.
Feeling very excited as I love this stone and would have been gutted if it was sold. Thanks to those up there looking after me!
