Hey Shiba! I love NYC, hope you had a fantastic trip. What did you like best?

What did you like best in David's office?

Jen

I'm glad you had a good time!  Can't wait for the pictures.   

ok, the oranges....

This little guy is part of the messy desk shot.  A perfect tangerine, orange crush sparkler.  Amazing colour.  luscious  Do you have orange crush in the US?  It is an orange soda, like Fanta.



I think this was the other orange one, in person more orange than yellow in the picture, darker orange than the one above



The garnet, nice size for a ring.  More life in person than the picture shows.  Another perfect orange crush.




The Tsav, me not being much of a green person, this is a nice vibrant yet still dark green.  The trilliant shape would make a nice pendant.



Oh, and the little ruby.  Amazing dark, yet still bright, blood red and quite transparent.  The maul crap 'round here is opaque-ish. Very pretty stone.



And one that I don't see listed, a very pretty oval emerald with good size.  Lighter than the Tsav, fairly transparent and quite deceiving as the inclusions are not obvious. 

In looking for a stone for hubby, here are a few we looked at.

I think this is the brown, bit deep for our purpose but a nice stone.  Looks a little off center in the picture, but didn't notice anything in person.  



Looked at DJM's baguette.   Great stone!

And this little guy...
 

Gosh.....shiba , you are an angel  !
Thanks for letting me know how my stone look.
I'm dying to see it in person.

Thanks for sharing. How do you feel putting on the 6ct Bulgari ring?
you make me want to play on David desk too

 I got the same impression as you did, OMC. There were officers dispatched from here as well.

 

so jealous of you Shiba!  I bother DH most days to take me to NY so I can play in the candy store!!  Glad you had fun.

That will make a great ring with a stone that size!  What style is your husband (or you) looking at?

I won't comment on Texas though since they beat us 2 of the 3 times we played them... though only by 3 in the last minute the last time :p

I could have stayed longer!  Poor hubby's eyes were starting to glaze over, so it was time. 

How about this for hubby?

This stone 4.70 x 3.0


Set like this, north/south, in a 7mm width

I really like that idea!!!  I think it would look very cool set like that!

I might have made let him stay until he was drooling in the corner and repeating a phrase over and over again...I like the orange!

That is exactly what I was picturing.  Maybe a straight jacket too.
