OMGoodness! It''s beautiful. I had no idea that tsavorite was so pretty until seeing it on PS. (I agree...very dangerous)

Thank you, KaeKae

You can always lurk in CS and resist the urge to buy, but it''s not easy!

hi marian

so - i have some questions re your tsavorite....

gene from PG''s cut it, yes? was it rough he already had, or did he source it for you?

if he had to source it for you, how long did it take to find? i''ve got a few things in mind myself -not jewelry so much as a gem collection, and i want to start, unsurprisingly, with the blues.

so i was thinking about talking to him re a montana sapphire, but i wondered how long it takes to source rough. i''m sure it''s different for each piece, but i wondered if you could give me an idea how long it took for *you*?

thanks marian

Hi Whitby,
Yes, Gene cut the stone for me. As it happened, he already had the rough, so there was no wait for sourcing it. I would give him a call and ask what he has available. When I got my sapphire, the stone was ordered already cut. That was some time ago. Starting a gem collection sounds like a great idea! You could also ask the Colored Stoners for some recommendations. That''s what I did. They are a great resource and will be happy to enable...that is...help you

Thanks so much, uppy

Gene cut me a great stone and Brian did the rest!! I couldn''t be more pleased. I''m mainly lurking in CS for fearing of "accidentlly" making another purchase

Umm sorry to threadjack but Kareyn, I think you NEED a tsavorite. Once you see it in person you''ll forget all about that emerald ring!
