Is there a show me your spess thread?

MakingTheGrade · Jan 19, 2014

I'm having a 4ct spess from Gene winging it's way toward me soon, and I"m optimistic that this may finally be the one! I'm a huge garnet fan but has been having the toughest time finding the right glowing orange.

Anyways, was hoping there might be a thread with pretty orange eye candy in it to give me possible setting ideas while I wait. Or if not, feel to post your goodies here!

When I got mine I only found "Show me your garnets" which is obviously not specific to spessartites but has plenty of them. Apparently I never added mine though. Maybe I will. Garnets seem to be the thing I can't stop buying.

Can't wait to see yours!

Here you go, I knew Bright Ice opened one specifically for spess.

Haha! Mine's in there. Guess my memory is not so good.

Hi, I'm an eBay buying fiend! This is my purchase from a few years ago. I didn't buy it knowing what the stone was. The seller didn't know either! I paid $200 for it but the 14kt setting is quite weighty so I thought it fair value even if the stone was glass. I don't photograph well I'm sorry to say. My buying criteria is always "do I love it?" And "is it fair value in my opinion!".
