Very Happy with demantoid from Jeff Davies!

[ilovegemstones]

It has such amazing dispersion - I especially love the blue flashes! It is Namibian and 0.64ct. The colour is great and very representative from his pics. All pics were taken in the car today.

Yes, it definitely looks like a nice one - I love its bluer side.

It seems that there must be a good find of the Namibian demantoids recently as I see them popping up with much more frequency.

Love the blue and how crisp it looks.

Good to hear. I love my demantoid from Jeff too

Nice! I noticed that one when it went up, if it's the same one. It looks kinda nice next to that rose gold. (though the white metal, too!)

Very pretty -- love the blue too. Well cut. Do the Namibians have more secondary blue as a rule? Demantoids from other sources i've seen tend toward yellow-green.

JF,
For what it's worth my Namibian demantoid has a yellow modifier, not a blue one. I would guess that blue is more sought after -- after chrome green that is.

Hi,


Very nice!, beautiful cut.

Jewelfreak: to answer your question, yes, some but not all of the Namibians have that blue modifier. For me, its almost a completely different animal than the Russian horsetail, vividly saturated grass green stones.

Looks great. Congrats!

Gorgeous!! That blue is just divine. Congratulations!

Thanks, Minou & LK. Seems like more with secondary blue are showing up, where they used to be infrequent. Agree, Minou, that they're very different looking from the Russian-type demantoids. Both are attractive, just different.

I know! I'm wondering why myself!

Just read this now - thank you everyone!
I have a Namibiam demantoid with a strong yellow modifier and this is my first one where I see a blue one.

I really like this demantoid. I've owned several smaller namibians, and none of mine have a blue secondary like that, only the yellow. I had no idea that the Namibian demantoids even existed looking like that! I might need one of these . Congrats on your find!

 

[swissmiss]

gorgeous!

Yes, I know for sure you need one.

 

[ilovegemstones]

Lol! I agree, you definitely need one. It was a great price too!

This is probably going to be a pendant over an ancient Greek Aegina turtle coin. I don't want to risk damaging it in a ring.

Beautiful color! I hope you enjoy it for many years to come, and I still adore seeing pics of your sapphire ring too - gorgeous pool of blue!
