I'm so excited to get this in person!! I have a Jay certificate for it, I think it was the secondary classification of treatment. I love it no oil emerald one day, but I also really wanted a Colombian (I have a Brazilian oval, and a tiny Colombian from Yvonne), and this one is just a rockstar in person. Just holding it gives me joy, I can't wait to actually get to wear it.
Fabulous green, if the photos are true to life! (Or is it even better in real life? *wink*) Enjoy your new treasure, and may it always bring you the same joy you feel now!
Thanks so much @mellowyellowgirl and @Joanne10! It should get here Tuesday. It's so much prettier than the pictures, I had it for a few months before I dropped it off to get it set. I'm not an expert, but to me this is in the top 90% of emeralds I've seen in person. I've seen better, but way pricier than what I paid for this one. Hilariously I loved to just pull it out of the gem box and rest it on my fingers, but that's also a very tiring way to look at gems lol. Can't wait to be able to wear it and have it not jump off my fingers.
Thank you so much! Green is so hard to capture on a camera, but shockingly my iPhone actually does it! First time ever I've been able to adequately capture green stones. I should test with some of my other emerald and see how they go.
Oh wow, it’s just perfect! The color looks absolutely devine, just that perfect bluish green. I love your setting choice too, and those double claw prong are yummy.
I think we’re gonna need more pics, or maybe a video. Definitely some more ogling opportunities.
