Tourmaline e-ring is (almost) finished!

It still has to be plated, but otherwise, it''s good to go. Looks f-ing fantastic, if you ask me!

Seriously, from the pictures, it looks exactly as I hoped it would... and even better! Well worth the wait! Now to get it on my eager finger!

The prongs are only 1mm wide at the top, so the engraving is very delicate... perfect...

I am so excited! Check out the faux fishtail engraving prongs! So ingenious! Love that Michael E!

BTW, the color of the stone looks more like it does in my icon IRL.

Oh, and I love the way you can see so much of the stone.

More later... I just got home from drinking and am a bit tipsy and tirrrrred...
 
Your ring is absolutely beautiful! Can''t wait for the handshots!
 
Spectacular!!!

What a difference cut makes... really. The tourmaline looks allot better in your pictures - it surely deserves to be seen in such an open setting. Just great ! Good for you

Velouria, it''s just spectacular! Of course, we knew your stone was stunning, but this setting compliments it perfectly!!! Michael E. did such a fabulous job! The prongs are some of the most delicate v-prongs I''ve seen! They''re lovely & don''t distract from the stone at all, but should provide great protection. The fishtail engraving on the sides of the prongs is beautiful & delicate! I love the openness of the setting, as valeria mentioned--it really does showcase the stone! And the diamonds on the sides & additional engraving on the shank...oh, it''s just stunning! Perfect! I''m SO excited for you!!

So, it has to be plated, then shipped to your bf''s mom, right? Then he''ll propose? I hope you don''t have to wait long to have that beautiful baby on your finger! When are you moving?

Maybe you should post this in SMTR too?
 
It''s beautiful and oh so delicate. Can''t wait to see those hand shots.

Can I just tell you that I am green with envy? It is perfect!!
 
Congrats! It shows off so much of that lovely green! I cannot wait to see hand pictures.
 
WOW WOW WOW - well worth the long wait!

I am sure everywhere this green precious go, it will turn lots of hearts GREEN!
 
Thanks, all of you.

You''re right, Valeria, the pictures don''t really do my *stone* justice, so I imagine that *setting* might look even better in real life. Not that it doesn''t look absolutely fantastic already.

I am pleased that the setting is so open. I think this is a protective and also showcasing look. Exactly what I was hoping for. Yay!

I think, all in all, it came out "e-ring looking" enough. I was concerned that a big old green tourm might not have that feel,but I think it does. We''ll see when it''s on my finger!

Brightspot- Yeah, it''s going to my BF''s mom''s house... I''m having my wisdom teeth removed today, and then my last day of work is the 15th, and then we''re moving to be in VA around 8/1. I have a family reunion 8/11, so hopefully soon... I have a feeling I''m going to get it before we move, as that was part of the plan. We''re in a bit of a rush now, but it''ll be okay. :-)
 
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

Thanks again... I can''t wait to see it in person!

Holy sh*t, was that worth the wait. The color on that baby is stunning! Can''t wait to see it on your hand.

Hi VelouriaL,

I love the shade of your tourmaliine ring! I have a seafoam green tourmaline and your shade is just incredible, love the details of the prongs too

Congrats on such a fine piece of jewelry.
 
Your ring is phenomenal!!! Enjoy it. Do be careful with it. I have a beautiful blue-green tourmaline that I managed to chip. I was told too to clean it by running it under the hottest water I can stand.

The setting is wonderful and the stone is brilliant.
 
For crying out loud....I was so busy waiting for that freaking pot to boil that I almost missed this.

What a beautiful, exquisite, gorgeous, wonderful thing of beauty and perfection (just like you V). Metal, sidestones, engraving are in perfect harmony and balance with the tourm. I''m so happy for you.
 
Thanks, everyone! kddfsdf (that was me being really giddy and banging on the keyboard)

You''re so sweet, Matata...

Yuo''re right, Lawmax, you do have to be careful with tourmalines. That''s part of the reason why it''s in a v-prong setting. I''ll still be good with it, though!
 
Wow! Amazing! That looks like the perfect engagement ring for the Queen of Faerie. Watch out that she doesn''t get jealous and steal it from you!
 
Aah...I keep coming back to look at this beauty of yours!
