What is on your wish list?

[gingercurls]

I feel like there is always (at least) one stone on my ever-growing wish list. Sometimes the items that are on my list actually exist and sometimes they have yet to be cut or discovered! For example, right now I have been eyeing this 6.30 carat Iolite from Roger Dery


and I have been searching high and low for several months for a violet/violetish blue 3+ carat Spinel with no results or "leads".

Does anyone else have a wish list?

I love this JD Tsavorite and have been eyeing it for some time. The colour may not be everyone's cup of tea, however, it looks gorgeous to me; 2.25ct, precision cut, 9.33 x 7.15 x 4.82 mm:



Fingers crossed that it is still available in a year's time when I may, just may, be able to afford it by then.

[gingercurls]

That is a gorgeous stone DK! I totally understand why you like it.

 

[Niel]

I'm in the mood far a large cabochon in a Marc Williams style bezel. Something affordable, maybe opaque.

 

[NKOTB]

I currently have one main stone on my wish list...a large pink cushion cut sapphire. I'd also like a precision cut royal blue sapphire.

 

[Siameseroo]

1. An indicolite or teal tourmaline
2. A largish 8mm+ asscher cut green tourm for my sister (she loves my Gene tourm!)
3. A bright saturated precision cut 7.5mm+ round sapphire for e-ring (no I'm not engaged yet but I feel its approaching )

Neil these rings look delicious!

 

[Acinom]

Great wishlists everyone!

On my wishlist: the perseverance to stick with my ban principles, especially when I see such inspiration as in this thread.

 

[gingercurls]

Niel- Gorgeous cabs and settings! They look so luxurious.

NKOTB-I think that a large pink Sapphire would go quite well your pair of pink Sapphires from Gene

Ricezo-Larger precision cut Sapphires can be tricky to find but the prospect of using it for an e-ring is so exciting!

Acinom-I totally get it. I keep putting myself on a ban and then failing.

Have you been in touch with Gene about his large pink sapphire project?

A bright saturated precision cut 7.5mm+ round sapphire for e-ring (no I'm not engaged yet but I feel its approaching )

Ahhhhh, ricezo! Way cool and exciting!


My wishlist is comprised of two things: a Mahenge spinel and some sort of asscher-cut gem (which I have yet to figure out the material).

 

[Acinom]

Yay!! How exciting for you Ricezo!!! And how wonderful that you will choose a CS as an engagement stone... A precision cut Sapphire Will you do a search or will you have it custom cut? Happy anticipation

 

[tourma-guy]

Tsavorite Garnet
Montana Sapphire
Paraiba Tourmaline (I can dream right? )
Opposing bar cut Indicolite Tourmaline
Grey (either light or dark) Spinel
Sphene
Spharelite

Those are the main ones. But I've never seen a pretty stone I could say no to.

Thanks SparkliesLuver. That's exactly the color I want. I saved the picture so if it's gone when the ban lifts I can use it to describe what I want. I'm pasting the picture here too

 

[SparkliesLuver]

You're welcome. I still have no idea why it hasn't sold, but ... hopefully it'll still be there when your ban is over.

 

[derbygal]

Acinom's sugarloaf Paraiba has me wanting one badly.

You have an excellent taste!!!

I love tanzanian chrome kornerupine! The play of color - purple, green and blue as a mix....
It is a shame that they are so small and rare!!

Dioptase will be a challenge too.

Good luck!!

Have you been in touch with Gene about his large pink sapphire project?

What is his "large pink sapphire project?"

 

[OTL]

I'd really want a clean Columbia emerald, 2ct range.
a clean neon blue paraiba tourmaline, 2-3ct range.
and a clean eye poping red jedi spinel, 2ct range.

ultimately I wish to buy an eye clean 3ct pigeon blood ruby with strong fluorescence and excellent light return. It can be Mozambique origin. A 4ct clean burmese blue sapphire with good cutting.

I don't see any of these happening though......

 

[ElleK]

In general, trillion shapes are less desirable by consumers, so often they will sit around, even if the rest of the stone (size, color, cut) is highly desirable.

 

[dk168]

In addition to the tsavorite, I would also like a Paraiba tourmaline cabochon, and a small round 6-7mm raspberry red stone.

DK

 

[SparkliesLuver]

What is his "large pink sapphire project?"

I believe he posted a picture on Twitter. He bought a large, poorly cut hot pink sapphire in AZ earlier this year. It'll have a hefty price tag, but I'm sure it'll be spectacular when he's through with it.

ETA: added image.

 

[junebug17]

This is a fun thread! I'm very new to CS but I have my heart set on a cushion shaped pink stone (8 to 9 mm) and would like to set it in a double halo setting, along the lines of the Tiffany Soleste. Not going to happen anytime soon but a girl can dream.

I can't get any of these out of my head! Too bad I am on a buying ban until after my daughter's wedding.

 

[Arcadian]

1 big (BIG) blue zircon. Nothing less than 6cts, must be glow in the dark deep blue. Not impossible to find but you know...price and all......lol

1 big red cab. Not sure what type, but must be RED

1 big yellow tourmaline. Must be yellow, must be tourmaline. I'd take it as a cab if it were the right yellow.
