DRAVITE Halo Pendant



I am excited ! I have been commissioned by MV to work on this beautifully cut Dravite (of the Tourmaline family) stone. The stone is cut to the shape of "Oragami Star" .. very clean, crisp facets. It's going to be a haloed pendant and the details are finalised. The surprise is in the color of the stones we are going to use. So Ladies .. stay tuned :)
There are 3 other very interesting ring projects lined up with MV.
Moni, I am so glad to be working with you again!

CABOCHONAY Anyone?


Very Contemporary .. very chic .. very clean ~ this is what I would describeCABOCHONAY, a 4 prong SOLITAIRE ring that hugs close the Cabochon natural gem. The size of the gems is ~10mm large and is at least 8 carats and above. There is the vivid purple amethyst, strong orange citrine, milky blue and translucent blue topaz, colors of the rainbow to tempt you :) The gemstone in the ring is a moonstone. This one is for sale at LizC Jewelry Boutique
Paving the prongs may not be such a bad idea :)

Hi Liz,
I LOVE it! It came this afternoon, and then I waited til DH came home from work to open it with him. We were both very pleased. I cannot tell you how long I have wanted a ring like this. I've actually bought 2 that were similar, but not quite there.
Also, we really liked the little box and flower pouch. So sweet :)
We're taking it to the jewelers tomorrow night to have my diamond put in. I'll just hold onto this lovely cz for possible use in the future.
Thanks so much for this lovely ring, and your speedy service. I am so happy to have it this soon!
My best to you and your family,
J

SparklingLizzies Online Retail
Don't know if any one is aware but I have started a online store for my brand of diamond simulants: "SparklingLizzies - Best Value Price". There are so many cuts available but i have so far put up the more popular cuts so please check with me if you can't find those cuts you like to have on the blog. Just to give you an idea, I have added some pictures here. PLEASE CLICK TO GET A LARGER VIEW :)



I have also painstakingly taken photos of my simulants (czs) in the color range of colorless to yellow under the Diamond Equivalent Color Guide which represents quite truly the colors of my diamond simulants so as to help you decide on the color range when ordering. I did one also for the Pink Color Guide so that you can see the subtle difference between the Lightest Pink and the Light Pink. I intend to take more pictures of the other colors of SparklingLizzies once I can gather more time. I hope you will find them useful.
I hope you will come and visit this site. I am sure you will find my prices very palatable :)
NEXT TO COME .. a store where you can buy ready-to-ship pieces.
Thank you All for your kind support !

LI-ANA - Best Seller !
It's confirmed! LI-ANA is the all time favorite ring setting. It's no wonder.. the curved unique V basket hugs the stone close to it as it should. To complement the basket, the band is created with such fluidity in the curve that it completes this Solitaire ring into Timeless Elegance. Are you ready now for the big Q ?"
This is a project with J. It's a 18k 2-tone ring; WG basket with YG band. She already likes what she see and I bet she will like it even better when it is done :)

4.38 ct Pink Tourmaline
This gotta be the prettiest pink tourmaline I have seen. Weighing 4.38 carats, this tourmaline measures a good 10.84mm and is completely eye clean. The cut is a 'fancy cut cornered Barion Octagon'. The color is really something else ;) ... a very nice saturated medium tinted pink. I have not seen it in sunlight; it had been a really cloudy today but according to the gemcutter, it shows some interesting lavendar colors in sunlight. Hopefully we will have sunny morning tomorrow and then I will get busy. Excellent brilliance with yummy flashes of a spectral colors. I have not yet decided what I want to do with this but I am thinking of a ring with halo filigree. The contrast of the medium pink against the brilliant white of FG diamond melees .. will be bring out the color of the tourmaline very nicely. Any more ideas?
