Here are my two new acquisitions, which I am pleased with - do tell me what you think please!

First, a green tanzanite, 2.76 ct and 0.19 ct diamonds..... I think this is beautiful and the camera will not do it justice. it's a lovely irregular green with flashes of lilac and purple around it. behaves very much like a tanzanite despite the difference in colour! Was £219 - I could have waited for it to go lower but I WANTED it. I've taken a piccie of it with it's bluer twin, a previous buy, too.....

And a mad impulse buy from Sunday..... this was more expensive at £285 but I think it's lovely - a very pale coloured paraiba. The neon flashes are gorgeous. Says on the card 2.36 ct brilliant, but I think it might be the wrong card... surely this is trilliant? Also a piccie of it with its newly found family.....

I have another paraiba in my basket - much cheaper but less unusually cut.. I might check that out too and bring myslef to decide between them.

Any thoughts on them, people?

:heart: Wow Nikki, the green tanzy looks delicious and thanks for doing the pic of it next to the blue for comparison. Of course, its all your fault that yesterday I bought the same ring..you know I'm easily led!!!
Can't wait to see it in real life, whats the gold weight by the way?
Lots of love xxx
 
Blimey Nikki, since I replied more goodies appeared.fast work!
I love the cut and design of the Paraiba, it is pale but personally I like pale, the more vibrant paraiba looks too much like apatite for me, I went crazy yesterday and need to confess, in return I'll post pics when I receive the haul!
1. Sphalerite and diamond ring
2. Colour change Sphene (my 2nd..ouch)
3. Another set of Demantoid jewellery plus a loose demantoid
4. Green tanzy and diamond ring
Oh eck!
 
Hiya Holly - sadly I've just noticed the paraiba has a claw missing so have contacted CS to see about a repair / replacement.....the green tanzy is AMAZING though... I keep going off to look at it. The gold weight is flimsy - comparing it to that blue one I was nearly laughing. But to be honest, I like the fact it sits more snugly for its thinner band!

I also love the paraiba on your pic with the round stone and diamonds circling it.

Lovely green Tanzy, Nikki .... been trying to get my little mitts on one too but haven't been quick enough. :doh:

Hope you get your PT ring sorted.

That was my first attempt at Paraiba - it fascinates me how different the colours all are. I suspect it has a ****** big window, but I love it anyway!
