New rare blue gems and more!!

[Rare gem lover]

Hi everyone,

I have collected WAY too many gems lately on a mad spending spree and felt I must start a thread of my own if I want to share them all. Some of you have kindly asked for pictures of a new blue tourmaline I have acquired so I’ll start with that! And the rest will follow. Thanks for looking

PS is compressing the neon quality of my blue tourmaline so here is a video! Please play in HD

Your stones are amazing!!! I am a huge fan of all shades of blue, green and the shades in between.

Do you have any setting plans for your stones and what are the specs?
What is the blue stone in your beautiful ring?

 

[Bluegemz]

Really lovely blues, and blues are my thing. Great collection! I especially love the 2 large unset ones.

The blue stone in the ring is a really pretty zircon I bought from LT. It’s cut by Roger dery!
Here is a much better pic.

For my new neon blue I just made setting plans talking to @elle_71125! A simple ring with trillion cut side Stones! Here are some pics with the kind I mean. Any inputs would be super appreciated!

Thank you, they are in my top few ever collected! I believe I will have to put one of them in silver though, not sure if that’s a good idea but it’s affordable. I wish I had the cash to fund both! At the moment thinking of setting the greenish blue tourmaline

I know it may take a while but I can’t wait to see that asscher cut blue tourmaline set. The color is just gorgeous on that and it looks awesome on your skin tone.

You can always replace the setting later, or just slowly save up for gold or platinum. 6 months comes and goes pretty fast, though I now it doesn’t feel that way. I hate having to curb desire, but in a few months you might be grateful because you might have developed your setting ideas more and be able to really get what you want.
I’ve noticed you have some blues and greens. Are you going to collect some blues with lavender as well?

In the last six months I have had four projects done. And it still just feels like as long as I have unset stones, something is fundamentally wrong! Haha

I have a tanzanite which is a nice blue with a touch of lavendar. And I have also bought straight up purple now! I have some cornflower blue earrings too but not a huge fan somehow.

I hope there are no blues out there left, because man I am not sure I can get more! My husband keeps saying how much more blue can one person wear and has encouraged me to get rid of some which I am grudgingly doing : p

I know just how you feel. It bothers me to have unset stones also. I feel a responsibility to carry out setting them so they can be enjoyed!

Beautiful asscher with the trillion side stones! Are the trillions diamonds? Do you mind sharing where you found your side stones?

Thank you! The blue tourmaline is from bayato on Instagram and the trillions are moissanite. I found on on diamond bistro!

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed they were moissanite! They look so brilliant

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

@Rare gem lover you really have an eye for picking fantastic blue gems. I love how well cut they are as well. Thanks for sharing the pics and videos with us.

Coming from you that’s a huge compliment! You’re the spinel queen!

 

[Hivona]

That asscher tourmaline is phenomenal! Can I call dibs?! Lol

Hahaha sure! That’s the highest compliment one can get on PS

 

[voce]

You definitely have a great collection! These are easily the best blue tourmalines I've seen aside from paraibas.

@Rare gem lover how was it doing business with Bayato? He only accepts wire transfers.

 

[KeepStepping]

I DMed him about that gorgeous tourmaline too, but hesitated just a fraction too long because of the wire transfer payment only and having no experience buying from him yet. I am so glad to see it on PS and can’t wait to see what you do with it. It really looks just as beautiful in your photos as it did on his IG.

 

[lovedogs]

@SailingGem I also DM'd him about it, and was happy when it sold because it's better for my wallet He has a good reputation among CS sellers, so I personally wouldn't hesitate to do business w. him when I have the $ to spare on his stones.

 

[Rare gem lover]

Aww thank you. It does look a little Paraiba like to me except it’s totally clear.

 

[Rare gem lover]

@Rare gem lover how was it doing business with Bayato? He only accepts wire transfers.

Yes it was very smooth. I just did a quick bank transfer and he sent it immediately with ups

 

[Rare gem lover]

Yes other CS sellers in the US know him which helps. The thing is PayPal is not in Nigeria and he gets his business from most repeat customers who are comfortable doing business over wire transfer. I spoke to him and felt comfortable doing it, honestly I didn’t think it was a problem.

 

[KeepStepping]

@lovedogs Thanks for that feedback, that’s really helpful for the future with his stones. @Rare gem lover I am looking forward to seeing this set!

 

[Rare gem lover]

You guys, I just can’t stop taking pics.

Here is the box in which I keep my favourite stones- other than the blues the others are pink spinels. I currently don’t have a single spinel set in a ring, but I am so looking forward to it! They sparkle a lot. More pics and videos to follow!

 

[Rare gem lover]

Here is a lucky find, a bright spinel of most likely Burmese origin. People say it’s jedi but honestly who knows. I know it’s super bright though. Please play in HD

Those are stunningly beautiful gems. The colors are incredible. I'm excited to see how the finished jewelry will turn out. Congratulations on a gorgeous collection!

I know, it does feel like an awesome burden. I have so many unset ones now and I know I can logically wait to set them. Just give it more time. But it’s so hard! I end up carrying some gems around a bit just so I can see them in different lighting! And when you finally get to wear a gem in a ring it’s so satisfying

Thank you Natasha! I’m hoping to have two set soon so yay!
