New mint garnet

lol I think you can toggle at the bottom to make them full screen. And the only reason it's decently sized here is because it's in an OP. When I embed them in a reply... nope. So annoying!

This one is next I decided, poll results be damned!! It's no secret I went (and continue to go) gaga over this ring, which was originally commissioned by @endless_summer:

Tsavorite Garnet & Diamond Ring-5-XL.jpg

I couldn't quite find a 5ct in my desired shade, lol, but I'd still love to do a 5-stone design. I want to do something a little different though, as I hate straight copycatting, even if the stone shapes are distinct and this is a fairly common design.

That's a ring to haunt you for years. OMG.
 
I sort of feel like small step cuts are a waste of diamonds tire potential. Would you consider French cuts or other more interesting cuts for side stones in this style? Calibrated tapered French cuts would be amazing.

French cut traps might be my favorite diamond accent shape ever.
 
Hello friends,

I may have mentioned I was "upgrading" my mint, only because the other is small (2ct). I loved the color and clarity though. Inken and I were discussing how surprisingly difficult it is to get this shade right. I see a lot of those drab, celery colors out there. And some folks love them! But I really prefer a more saturated pastel, like with padparadscha. Anyway, I returned a couple as of late, but finally found "the one." An elongated emerald would not have been my first choice, lol, but sometimes when every other box is ticked, you compromise. Here he is... 4.5ct and fresh from Germany. If you see a mark on the stone in the video, it was hair or lint. The stone is loupe clean.

I have seen the finger in question, and she is perfectly lovely! We're all so hard on ourselves. :lol-2: I still love the idea of an east-west, because I feel like these elongated cuts tend to look brighter when the looooong facets are horizontal.

Now I'm really looking forward to your CJ inspired ruby ring!! :mrgreen2:

i agree @dk168
