Hi All,
I have been on somewhat of a stone buying "spree" the past few months (thanks in large part to finding all of you )
Wanted to share my purchases! I'm figuring out which ones to set first, setting designs, etc. And also trying to save a bit before setting anything too pricy
First one: Spinel by Jim McCormick (slight color change, goes from greenish to blue IRL but don't have any real life pics yet).
Second: Jason Brim Tourmaline, being re-cut by Dan Stair right now because it had a window. Can't wait to see it IRL.
Third: Blue Zircon by Roger Dery (thanks for everyone's help choosing this one!)
Last 2 from a vendor I found through the various Gemstone forums on FB. Both tourmalines--super excited for them to arrive! She seems like a wonderful and trustworthy vendor, but I wanted to wait until I at least see the stones before giving everyone her name, just in case
So happy I found this forum with like-minded gem/jewelry enthusiasts to help give advice, and to enable me
