I forgot to post my new itty bitty grandidierite pair. They are a very small 3mm but the color is lovely. They remind me of a beautiful blue green tourmaline. I picked these up from Brad at The Gem Trader.

Thank you. :D I saw Brad post a pair in his last email and I had to reach out. At the price they go for, these little guys are the best I could do. :lol:

How sweet. :kiss2: I love how the spinel is such a hot pink. Especially in the sun. :love:

Thank you. :D

I've got a new addition to share. Here is my new pink mahenge spinel from GranGem on Etsy. Mike at GranGem was a pleasure to do business with. He answered all my questions, provided a video, and even extended the return window when I explained I had nothing but rain for a week. I will not hesitate to buy from him again. :D

It's a gorgeous hot pink that looks amazing indoors and out. It has a touch of silk that gives it a bit of a glow.

So here are the stats:
Weight: 2.06ct
Measurements: 7.4 x 6.8 x 5.7
Color: pink

I was actually eye-ing this one! I just didn't have the funds to make the plunge. Glad you like it!

My new Tsavorite from Precision Gem. :mrgreen2: A tsav has been on my wish list for a while but they are so darn expensive. This one is small but it's also super vibrant so it really packs a punch. :lol-2:

Oooh, Elle, that is so vibrant and alive! It packs such a wallop that it does not look small at all.

Does the stone IRL have more saturated colour? It is a very brilliant stone. It is very hard to find a well cut tsavorite in an affordable price.

So glad a PSer bought the tsav! I saw it posted as I was going to bed and decided to sleep on it...giving true meaning to "you snooze, you lose". Congratulations!

I'm glad you asked. I did post about it on the "catch all thread". Link below.

Here's the basics:
It's a huge 3.93ct blue green tourmaline cut by Jeff White. I picked it up from SparkliesLuver (who, because of this, is currently my favorite person :razz:).
Here's the vendor shot.

It’s gorgeous! I don’t think it’s small at all. Mine is between a carat and a carat and half. I love the size. Yours is SO green!

Thank you. :D The color is even better than I expected.

Elle that is just too gorgeous ! It’s very bright=)2
Congratulations on such a lovely stone !
Thanks! So happy to add this one to my collection! :lol-2:

In person it looks even more saturated and bright (in my opinion). It's not dark at all. It's a great tsavorite and I'm really happy I got it.

So glad a PSer bought the tsav! I saw it posted as I was going to bed and decided to sleep on it...giving true meaning to "you snooze, you lose". Congratulations!
Oh, no! :eek2: That's never a fun experience. I'm just gonna say thank you, since you helped me out by giving me a chance to get it. :lol:

Looks like a wonderful bright and saturated green and love the cushion shape - enjoy!
Thank you! :D

Love that tsav!
Thanks :lol-2:

You're too kind. :kiss2: Thank you, Acinom.

Thank you. It really is a vibrant green. I love it!. Admittedly, I have been spoiled with larger gems recently (I'm wearing my 3ct mahenge spinel right now. :P2). They are great because, well, hello..finger coverage..but they can make everything else seem small. Gemstone problems. lol :lol:

It’s a nice size and looks great on you! Congratulations!!!
Thanks! I can't wait to set this one.

We have frost all over this morning. I love the way frost looks on the leaves and grass (even though I hate the cold that comes with it).:confused2: It seemed like the perfect opportunity for a ring pic. :mrgreen2:

Beautiful ring, beautiful picture. I'd happily hang that shot on my wall!

Pretty, one of my favorite rings on PS:kiss2:

We have frost as well and since we are Nutmeggers we have not turned the heat on yet, it's like a tradition to see who can hold out the longest!

Aw, thank you. :D I can't believe you haven't turned on your heat. It was too cold last night. My heat is most definitely on (I guess that's because I'm not a proper Nutmegger). :P2:lol:
