Do you have a heart?

[loriken214]

I have a bunch of hearts, but no photos, I KNOW, WHAT''S NEW! Anyway, I''m working with 23rd Street Jewelers and they are going to make a necklace for me. I don''t know what color sapphire I will use yet, but it will look something like this.

Oh wow, this is gorgeous; I love the color!!!

 

[marcy]

Wow, what a great collection of hearts. Here are my heart rings.

This is my amethyst. I have earrings and a pendant to match.

 

[marcy]

Rhodolite with blue diamond accents. I have heart shaped studs and pendant to match.

 

[marcy]

This is a RHR.

I also have a bezel set garnet heart ring but can''t find a picture right now. I have a bracelet with heart shaped garnets that goes with that. I guess you can tell I love hearts. I have a diamond heart pendant (the open heart with small round diamonds) and a WG heart pendant that has my original ering diamond in it.

These are not mine (I wish). Here is a suite of fancy colored diamonds.

Wow, that is some collection.

I have never been into heart stones before, but after looking through this thread I may have to look around for one. I always though they kind of looked a little childish, but these are some great jewelry pieces.

 

[zeolite]

Thank you, Skippy and marcyc.

Marcyc, the colored stone hearts you show are well executed. The notch and the smooth curve of the "ears" is difficult to do.

I know hearts are not popular, but maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Here's mine. The center stone is a 2.56 SI2 cleftless heart.



ETA: MarcyC, I love your rings! The colors are beautiful. There's just something about hearts...

Gailey!!! How are you, sweetie! I''ve been thinking about you this week.

Thank you for the kind words.

I don''t want to hijack this thread, but I posted pics in the SMTR Forum.

Here''s the link:

Finally, "FAT" is a good, desirable thing!!!

 

[marcy]

Thank you Zeolite. I agree the right notch and ears makes the difference.

Thanks, Platinumrocks. Your heart ring is gorgeous.

 

[Harriet]

Now I do. I met a collector here who gave me a big red heart set in yg as a pendant. It could be a rhodolite. But, even if it''s synthetic, I don''t mind because it was given with affection.

I''m getting a heart in the mail, if it''s nice, I''ll post pics.

WHAT??? Oh, do TELL!!!

Is it a diamond or a colored stone???

How many carats???


ETA: MarcyC, thank you for the kind words! We heart owners must unite!

Zeolite, that rhodolite heart is simply yummy! I love the color.

 

[T L]

It''s 1.76 carats and it''s a colored stone. I typically don''t like hearts, but this was the last one they had in such good cutting and color, and this is pretty rare material in over a carat, well it''s pretty rare material in any case. I''m hoping to make a ring if the color turns out good. If it doesn''t, well, it''s going back. The cutting is great on this stone, especially for a heart. Hint - it''s NOT a tourmaline.

 

[marcy]

Harriet, have you posted pictures of your pendant? Sounds pretty.

Platinumrock, I have quite a few hearts if you count the earrings, pendants and bracelets I have too. We are certainly in a minority here liking hearts.

Tourmaline Lover, I can''t wait to see your gemstone.

Marcy, what is it about your heart stones that you love? For me, it''s the rounded curves and romance. I know, it sounds cheezy.

I''ve never been into hearts before, but I fell in love with the shape and color of my stone. It''s definitely not run-of-the mill. Plus, I''m attracted to shapes with rounded/curved corners as opposed to angular.

TL, is it a true pinkish/salmon Imperial Topaz? They are pretty rare.

Harriet, I second Marcy''s request for pics of your heart pendant. I would love to see that!

PR,
No it''s not a topaz. It isn''t a peachy stone at all.]

TL, you should create a "Guess My Heart Stone" thread!

You can say "Warmer or Colder" with each guess.

I was able to guess Freke''s ring price, and I was off by 4 cents.

 

[T L]

I''m afraid to because if it''s ugly, it''s going to probably be returned. Let''s just say I''m taking a chance with this one.

 

[Gailey]

Come on TL, give us a little hint

 

[T L]

It''s from Africa. Is that a good hint?
