I got some gems from Osiris Gems too

[Kismet]

And they're lovely. I got the .84 carat Nambian teal tourmaline. It's slightly darker than the vendor's picture but not horribly so. The inclusions aren't really apparent, or at least they aren't to me.

I also got the 2.38ct amethyst in the liquid flower design. I love it, the facet design is so pretty.

Here they are both together, hanging out with my demantoid ring.

Hi Kismet! I like the Namibia Tourmaline. I have actually enquired about it before. Uli did mention that the durability could be compromise due to the internal structure. It a pretty color though! Just be more careful when you set it!

 

[PinkTower]

I'm sorry, but I cannot look at anything else because I get distracted by the demantoid ring. It is a favorite of mine.

 

[redhead02]

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do with them!

I'm sorry, but I cannot look at anything else because I get distracted by the demantoid ring. It is a favorite of mine.

My thoughts exactly.

Another septagon cut!! I wonder how you're going to set it, please let me know. Nice stones.

 

[Arkteia]

Aren't they lovely, Kismet? I love the liquid flower design, and your amethyst seems to be more saturated than mine. But I must agree -I get distracted by your demantoid, too!

 

[virgoruby]

They are both very pretty.
And the liquid flower design looks amazing.

What an amazing teal color, I really like the cut too. That's one of the better looking liquid flower cuts too I've seen on here. Congrats!

 

[Kismet]

Thanks all! The amethyst liquid flower is really pretty and the faceting is just amazing. I was wavering between buying this amethyst and the fire opal liquid flower but settled on the amethyst because it seemed as though you could see the swirls better.

And thank you for the compliments on my demantoid ring too.

TL: As for the septagon shape, I think I'll treat it like a pear. When you get right down to it, it really is a short, squatty pear with an angular rather than rounded bottom. So maybe I'd do a 3 prong pendant or a east-west ring.

 

[AustenNut]

What beautiful stones! I like the swirly pattern in the amethyst and love the color on your tourmaline. Of course, that demantoid ring is gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing!

Cool new stones; I’m enjoying looking at all these new eye candy from Uli.
