I haven''t posted new pics in a while, but just got my Dan Stair 1.15 pink tourmaline back from my jeweler.

Dan''s pic of the tourmaline.

LTP!!
Beautiful new ring and lots of bling!! Enjoy!!

Did you upgrade the diamonds on your LOGR because they look great. If not, did you pay a higher bin or auction price? Just curious, sorry if I''m nosy.

to go after seeing those!

Thanks, TL, dear!

I didn''t upgrade the diamonds, and I won the setting at auction for about $110. I was surprised they were so nice after seeing poor Kelli''s thread, but overall, I''m very pleased.

Haha, Beth! Thank you! After seeing Leon''s pic of your fabulous cushion, I''ve got a new direction, too (when I someday can afford a stone like yours!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thanks Innerkitten and Michelle!

LOL, Lauren!! I love your finger shot. I showed the picture to my husband and he told me that it was your fault that I''m so obsessed with gemstones!

I love the new addition to your collection. You still need a purple one, though. Do you have one on the work?

Did the LOGR setting come the prongs? How do you know what size stone to get the settings? I think that is my major problem, my stones are always bigger than setting even when following the size setting recommended on the LOGR site.

Lauren,
I think the "Mr. LOGR" has a special affinity for you since you got him so many customers. You''ve been way too lucky with these settings!

 

[Linda W]

Lauren, you have the most amazing collection. I love that tourmaline, love the color

 

[neatfreak]

What a collection Lauren!!! Wow!!!

 

[gongjoo143]

beautiful ring! I ordered the same LOGR setting and mine looked more like Kelli''s. Your stones definitely look like better quality. Lucky for you!

Thank you, Mochi! How coincidental you should mention what your husband said - it''s because of you that I contacted Gary to cut an Aqua for me . . . and he just fnished it! I attached a pic of it below.

Also, I have a Barry Bridgestock cut amethyst waiting on a Legacy LOGR setting to get here.

You would think that affinity would translate into discounts, but I can assure you, it hasn''t. Thankfully I''ve had good timing on auctions lately.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Linda, Neatfreak, Gongjoo, and Dani - thank you so much ladies!!!! I wore it around all day today and my husband just rolled his eyes everytime I stared at it.

Hehe, Vita, thank you!

The answer to that question is simple . . . I have a wide variety of colours in my wardrobe, and I''m totally OCD about matching my gemstones to my clothes.

 

[AmberGretchen]

OMG that collection is unreal

Definitely something to aspire to - I can''t wait to visit TX and see it in person!!
