LOVELY!!!

If you don''t set that square blue green tourmaline soon it can come find a home on my hand! I am crazy jealous of that thing and would have it set in a heartbeat! What''s taking so long?

Thanks HB!

No worries, it has a setting! Just need it to arrive. It''s going to go in an LOGR bezel halo - yay! But it won''t be ready for weeks! I''m leaving on Sunday for break and won''t be back for 2 weeks, so....even if the setting arrives this week, I doubt my jewelers will be able to get it ready. But just as well since I wouldn''t take it with me anyway - don''t want to bang it up hiking or anything!

Barry''s blue green tourmaline looks great; the colour is better (more vivid and saturated) than that cushion next to it. Is that Jeff''s tourmaline?

Thanks! Yep, that is Jeff''s tourmaline next to it - the round is from Gary (Finewater) and I agree, it is way more vivid. I love them both though. Gary was cutting me another one into a square but unfortunately that one cracked as he was cutting it. After seeing the round, I was so sad about the square - I want another one (or five) in that color!

You are SO ahead of me girly. I have ONE stone set. Hopefully one other one will get set SOON!!!!

lol well you''re working on it! Stackers are a great way to set a bunch at once

haha, I am soooooo slow to get mine set too. Indecisive, mostly!

BEG- you''re on quite a roll! You''ve built up such a lovely collection in a short amount of time. I love them all... but that baby sapphire color is gorgeous

Knitwit, is that aqua the one I use for my Avitar here? The concave cut one?
I''d love to see a picture of the finished ring, and use it on my site.

Thank you Icekid! It''s kind of ridiculous actually how quickly I''ve built this up - and I even told myself no more new gems for a while ... and this was last month! And you can see where this has led. Invariably though I spend all the money I should be spending on settings, on more gems.

Thanks dear! Although really, I''m envious of all of YOUR amazing pics - with the flowers, and pinecones, and such. Mine are fairly boring
