#JOTW Mojito, aka 4.3 ct mint garnet in halo

[NKOTB]

I fell in love with this stone a couple of years ago. I never thought it would be mine. As luck would have it, it ended up in my possession. It is a glow ball. I was a little hesitant to put it in a ring, due to its size, but the right setting came along (preloved, my favourite), so it all just fell into place.

Cut by Lisa Elser, it kind of looks like a flower.

Wow, the stone looks so bright and sparkly. In one of your photos, it also looks iridescent. I also love the setting! Can you tell us more about it?

EEk! I don't know what I love more, the size, the amazing color and glow, or the setting it's in!

 

[TheGeckoLady]

That’s INSANE! I would be staring at it constantly. That glow is just mesmerizing.

The garnet is 9.1 mm. The setting is platinum, don't know much about the diamonds. Bought the setting from jbkhere.

It's breathtaking!! I can't believe that beautiful color and amazing glow the stone has! Gorgeous - and it looks prefect in the setting. Just gorgeous!

Wow!! That's too stunning for words! So glad you went for a ring. That stone would be wasted in pendant!
I guess it's no surprise that I'm a big fan of large carat coloured stone rings.

Any idea what that cut is called?
Is it a Portuguese flower cut?

TDF!!

And love that gallery!

Congrats!

I think I remember Lisa saying it was a custom cut, but based on the Portuguese cut?

I'm glad you went for it. I'm not aiming to steal it or anything....I swear!

ITs GAWGEOUS --- simply GAWGEOUS!!!

I'm in awe of that amazing "lit from within" glow it exudes!! Incredible, NKOTB ---- just stunning!! And the perfect setting too - plays up the flower look of the cutting (is that a portuguese cut?) with the under gallery flower - LOVE IT!!

Sometimes, the universe just drops the perfect thing in our laps --- glad it worked out so well for you!!!
