...did i see you mention in rocky talky that you''re starting a new project with brian gavin?

can you fill us in, or is it too soon to tell?

i''m hoping to get a little pair of studs like geckodani''s in august, but this is just a small thing. what are you looking into?

i just love ''projects''....

Haha, nothing gets past a PS''er! I am looking at a sapphire project. Wink is getting a stone in for me to look at and the setting will come from BGD

a friend, my dear - a friend.

sapphire sounds wonderful! i asked some questions about sapphires recently and ellen, stepcutgirl and lostsapphire were pointing me in the right direction. just recently i''ve bought a few cheapies on ebay to get a better idea of what i like, and i''ve probably now abandoned the idea of an asscher sapphire and have moved more to a cushion. there''s so many gorgeous shapes around! - what shape are you considering?

been thinking of you lots recently and hope all is well with you. xo

I''m sorry friend

The sapphire I am considering is a 2.08 Richard Homer concave cut. Its a beautiful shade of blue and I am really looking forward to seeing the video Wink is doing for me.

Here are my ideas.... Sorry for the rubbish collage lol! (I borrowed pictures of Kaleigh's, Rising Sun's and Lost Sapphires rings.. I hope thats ok)

oooooh Maisie... sneaky girl! That is one beautiful sapphire. You need to start hanging around colored stones more

I will definitely be spending more time in CS. I have seen lots of lovely coloured stones lately and will be buying a lot more!

wow! we are on identical paths with this!

i''m thinking step traps, trills or half moons, but most likely half moons. i was set on an asscher and a more square look, but from what i''m reading and seeing, it just doesnt show the color as well as a different cut.

anyway, do keep us up to date on this! will this be in yellow gold? i wondered if you were specifically after something to wear with your beautiful new brian gavin ring? i know you felt that it didnt go well with your engagement ring....

anyway, looking forward to going through this process with you; mine will be next year probably, so i will enjoy cheering you from the sidelines on this! (vicarious jewelry enjoyment - it''s the best kind!)

I don''t know what colour metal to have. I did fancy white gold or platinum for this one. I think there would be too much going on to wear it with my 5 stone ring. I don''t seem to have enough finger lol!

I don''t know much about choosing a great sapphire.. thats why I thought it would be best to just pick one and have Wink look at it for me. Its a long way for it to come just for me to not like it and send it back, so the video evaluation really helps.

I will definitely keep you informed about what I am doing. Its nice to share the experience!
