OMG It''s a SNOWFLAKE!!!

[geckodani]

So freaking cool. I was drooling on Richard Homer''s inventory

via my computer screen and stumbled across this beauty.

Is it possible to drool through a computer screen???!!!

Going into debt would be bad, right?
DH would kill me, right?
Right?

 

[Irishgrrrl]

I KNOW!!! OMG, OMG, OMG, THAT THING IS FREAKIN'' GORGEOUS!!! {wipes drool off keyboard}

I think I''m going to have to own one of those someday. He also does them in SILVER TOPAZ!!!

[BriBee]

Gorgeous!
Not to sound like a total moron, but what kind of stone is that?

 

[geckodani]

It''s a blue topaz. Which I would not have known 2 weeks ago, so don''t feel bad, LOL.

 

[misspinky]

I think I''m going to need about a dozen of those for Christmas....

 

[geckodani]

Still in shock over here. Scared to email and ask how much it is. Someone do it for me, LOL!

considering the hours that goes into cutting one I consider it a low price.
Not to mention 100s of hours of r&d to develop the cut.

 

[omieluv]

I love that cut and have seen it in other gems, it is very cool! As Storm said, it is totally worth the price.

 

[geckodani]

Oh, absolutely worth the price, and I agree that it''s quite a deal considering all the work.

I just wish my little ole wallet had a bit deeper pockets, LOL.

I totally thought of you and your blue topaz addiction Freke!

 

[FrekeChild]

What's bad is I have a snowflake addiction too. Seriously. Our Christmas tree is covered in blue and silver snowflakes and balls that have snowflakes on them. I hang plastic but covered in glitter, snowflakes at different heights from the ceiling and our stocking are blue or silver with beaded snowflakes.

As I said before...Must. Have. ASAP.

Preferably in blue in a necklace. But I'll take either silver or blue!

 

[Fly Girl]

I saw them in person at the round table last October. I wanted a full set for my Christmas tree. The ones I saw were big enough to be ornaments. He had them in silver, Swiss blue, and London blue topaz.

A RH topaz snowflake is definitely on my wish list for a pendant. When I''m not wearing it, I''d hang it next to my desk to gaze at as it caught the light.

Too funny. I adore snowflakes as well. I think the blue is just STUNNING. You should get one so I can live vicariously through you, LOL!

Sounds like an awesome plan to me!

To quote LOLcats - WANT!!!

 

[geckodani]

Hah! I finally found one set on www.winkjones.com

And now I want one even more....

 

[mercoledi]

Awesome, right? Here's the silver:

A 10is mm silver is on my life list. I did email RH to ask about these, and he is just the sweetest guy over email. He (at the time) could do them for about $700, the bigger ones (12-13mm) were closer to a grand. Here's the old info.

Silver topaz, 23.14 ct 16.1x16.1x11.8 $1050
Silver topaz, 34.15 ct 18x18x13.8 $1500
Swiss Blue topaz 29.95ct 17.3x17.3x13.2 $1500


Coolest thing ever. I want one set like the pendant above, but with claw prongs

.

 

[snogirl17]

I know these are beautiful!
I would love to have one as a pendant! I love snowflakes so much i have one tattooed on my back!

 

[nclrgirl]

Oh my goodness! That is the neatest thing I''ve seen today! This may be a dumb question (excuse my ignorance here), but does Richard Homer cut diamonds?
