It definately has inclusions but for the price it was great. Here is a pic, but for some reason it seems lighter in the pic and doesnt capture the richness and glow as I see in person.
I got both the garnet and setting at Best In Gems, and paid $15 and a vendor booth to set the stone in the setting. I forgot to mention the setting is 14k white gold diamond accents.lilmosun|1462667907|4028802 said:userangl28212003|1462657929|4028741 said:So my plan on not buying anything failed, and I bought a 6x4 tsavorite garnet and setting, and even had it set at the show today.

Very nice!! Nice color and I love the simple setting with finger coverage. Would love to know where you bought the stone and setting and/or any vendors you found that you would recommend. So many of my vendors have stopped going to Marlborough (or are planning to) and so I'm always looking for new ones.
Thank you . I had a lot of fun, but I was a little disapointed because there were really only two vendors that weren't in the wholesale section that really had a variety of loose gemstones. I was hoping to have more vendors selling loose stones, though the jewelry was beautifullovedogs|1462676054|4028850 said:ohhhh, love your new ring userangl!!! Beautiful color of green, and impressive that you got stone and setting today, PLUS had someone set it! Nice work!
Yea I thought Prima gems would be there so I was sad not to see that vendor there.lilmosun|1462675130|4028846 said:Thank you...I will need to check them out

Your situation sounds familiar. I remember seeing someone trying to put together a 3 stone emerald ring and her asking about getting it set. Did a person come up to you telling how much it was if you go to the setters directly? If so that was mesoxfan|1462718138|4028963 said:userangl28212003|1462703403|4028919 said:Thank you .

I went. Put together a gorgeous 3 stone emerald ring and left it I just couldn't pull the trigger. I also came close to buying a paraiba for $200. It wasn't as glowy as the ones on here, but it was pretty. I SHOULD have bought a star sapphire as I've always wanted one and could have got one very cheap.
I'm sitting here contemplating going today. It's only 20 minutes away.
