Love your demantoids! Do you mind sharing who made settings for the tsavorites, if it is an online jeweller? I have 2 small (4.5 mm each) tsavorites in earrings which are badly set; tried to make something out of them and ran out of ideas.

I bought the ring as is from Artistic Colored Stones back when it was owned by Barbara Smigel. I have no idea who made it and I''m pretty sure there are no maker marks on it. I can tell you the tsavs are tension set and are 3mm (x2) and 3.5mm.

No luck but thank you, Kismet!

"Kismet" means something in Turk-origin languages. Is it "destiny"? Or "comeuppance"?

My emerald pendant

This isn''t everything, I''ve got a few things coming to me in a few weeks.


-A

 

[FrekeChild]

Mint tourm pendant from Barry.

Green tourm from Barry WF ring.

Top of my JKT key (tourms, peridot, tsavorite, demantoid) and I didn''t include the bottom part since it''s more blue than green.

 

[pierreone]

I''m drooling over all the greens. Here''s my 1.46 ct tsavorite from Swala. Currently working on getting it set into a ring.

 

[pierreone]

2.61 ct tourmaline from Art Cut Gems

So many lovely greens!!! This is my only one, a serious problem I hope to rectify soon! vintage white gold Bulova with 6 emeralds on the face and a cabochon post.

I love this thread! Does anyone have any pictures of jadeite that they could share?

 

[marcy]

Great greens! Lovely stones.

 

[bling addict]

[Hest88]

Droooool....

Oh, and Catmom, what''s the story behind that jewelry? Those pieces are to die for!

 

[Hest88]

Okay, I''m finally getting around to posting this. This is my larger unset demantoid. That fissure-looking thing in the middle is its horsetail.

This is that stone alongside the three I just set:

And here''s how the three look now that they''re set.

 

[pregcurious]

Those chrysoprase cabochons are beautiful!

Here you go.

 

[chrono]

I just realized I''ve missed a few more green stones. I guess I don''t dislike geen as much as I thought.

Just because I love my tsavorite.

 

[chrono]

My new sphene.

 

[chrono]

Not sure if this should be under yellow as it isn''t a pure green. I also had the hardest time trying to capture the dispersion on camera.

 

[chrono]

My green grossular garnet from Welborne. She called it a tsav but I call it a mint garnet.

I''m loving all these minty shades. May have to find one for myself...

The prasiolite, silly! The pict with one on the left that looks like a Cathy Waterman? Are they?

Chrono, where are did you get those jade earrings from? All my jade is so...traditional...I just love that design!

 

[Indylady]

Chrono, your jade earrings are beautiful! Do you have more jade pieces? I have a simple pendant which I love and wear often, but I''ve been on the lookout for another piece.

Oh the prasiolite, lol! I really loved the setting of the necklace but wasn''t so keen on the stone. I got it under the assumption that I was going to replace the stone and here I am months later and the prasiolite is still there. It''s kind of grown on me and I don''t know if I will replace it. So of course if I''m not replacing the necklace stone then I NEED a ring to match.

It''s not a Waterman but is very similar.

 

[marcy]

Here are my green rings. Emerald, mint garnet and green sapphire.

 

[Catmom]

Beautiful greenies marcy!!!!!
