CADS of my New Tourmaline Ring

[katebar]

Inspired by all the delicious jube like stones on the color stone forum I decided to shout myself a ring for my 50th birthday later this year. As my eyes are green what could be better than a mint tourmaline from Ed at Wildfish Gems!
My setting inspiration was the tanzanite legacy that a dear pricescoper recieved (apologies to this person I can''t find the original post to thank you). It was further fuelled by the lengthy post on the coloured Tiffany Legacy''s but I knew becasue I wanted something *ahem* substantial that Mr Tiffany and Co was well out of the budget!
So off to Whiteflash I went and here our the CADS of my COCKTAIL Ring!!!!!!
I love that I have cocktail ring after reading Diamondseekers thread on Rocky talk. Trust me it suits me

Oh I wish I could make them a bit bigger? I think it needs some millgrain around the bezel thoough. Will that be done do you think?

If you want milgrain you need to be sure its on your order confirmation Kate. If its not they might not do it for you.

[Gypsy]

Beautiful! Thanks for the blow up shot! I can''t wait to see the final product. I LOVE your green center!

 

[FrekeChild]

It will be gorgeous!!!I love the color on the tourmaline!

(I second the pics with a martini/cigarette/black dress, but I think you should add one in there with a pair of heels too!)

It's going to be one gorgeous ring kate, and I vote for the miligrain too.

Can't you fake it with one of those long plastic (or were they ivory back *in the day*) cigarette holders?

I think you're almost decked out...except maybe a large beauty mark on your left dimple!

ETA: here's a cigarette holder for you!

 

[LostSapphire]

oops, missed it

 

[Ellen]

Do they still make candy cigarettes??

Probably not, now that I think about it. lol

 

[LostSapphire]

They call them Popeye Candy Sticks now (oh so politically correct!).

Available online..

 

[katebar]

Ok so you mean like this? But we wouldn''t light it or anything like that now would we.

 

[LostSapphire]

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew Audrey Hepburn was invovled somehow! Too bad we can't see her left hand, THAT's where the ring is!

But holey earrings Batman! They could pass for cocktail rings!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Gorgeous ring, Kate! You must post it on the cocktail ring thread!!! I also vote for milgrain on the bezel!

I was all ready to apologize for the threadjack but then realized YOU THREADJACKED YOURSELF!!

 

[777_LDY]

I love it!! It''s going to be a faaaaaabulous cocktail ring dahling!

I think it will look great with the millgrain too, but I vote against it. Not really my personal style. Either way though it''s going to be gorgeous and I can''t wait to see pics!!

You''re welcome. Sorry they were blurry - it''s hard to do without the original picture. I''m sure Andrey will work his magic.
Btw.. your ring is beautiful!
