The first is a 1.57 carat precious topaz from Ouro Preto mine in Brazil. It was cut by Barry Bridgestock. This stone is stunning. It has great fire and life with a peachy champagne color. It is perfect for my two toned old ering setting.

The second is for my daughter''s fifteenth birthday. It is a 1.05 carat heat Thai sapphire that is a medium bluish green color. Her birthday is in December and I thought this stone matched the December birthstone color nicely. It is bezel set into a legacy repro type setting. I think it turned out wonderfully. I hope she loves it!

If your daughter doesn''t like it (which she will--it''s gorgeous) you can tell her to send it directly to me and I''ll give it a good home.

She''s going to be spoiled for any man, right? Well, at least she knows that she can buy for herself. Her dad (DH) is a terrific guy but jewelry challenged. It only took me fifteen years to figure out if I wanted I could pick it out and buy it myself!

Both are gorgeous, but I would really like more photos of your topaz. The stone is very nice and the setting compliments it beautifully. Hand shots?

Thanks everyone! I can hardly wait to give it to her. I''m not the most patient individual.

Lady Disdain, the topaz has been really hard to capture. It has such beautiful life and sparkle, almost like a champagne diamond. I''ll keep trying to catch it''s real personality!

The halo setting is from Adimor. I bought it second hand from a good friend. I''m a jewelry recycling fiend. Many of my pieces are either vintage stones or recycled settings. It''s so much more fun than buying retail!!
