Pretty TTV on ShopHQ

I sort of wish all of the designers on all the stations would occasionally stop feeling the need to embellish gemstones with diamond substitutes... Gemstones can often stand on their own and don't require the additions, whether they be man made diamonds, zircon or topaz.

This doesn't interest me as I'm not a big ring person but since they had aquamarine, my birthstone, I thought I'd take a look. The aqua on my tv and computer is nearly clear. I don't know how you'd tell the white topaz from the aqua.

I've never seen white topaz that I thought looked good. I refuse to buy anything with white topaz.

I wish Chuck would change his anti-CZ stance. I would much rather have those tiny accent stones to be bright and sparkling CZs than dull gemstones, especially the diamonds.

Add me to the list on not liking white topaz. More often than not it dulls the look. You notice the dull accent stones more than the beauty of the center .

You'll find my heart at the Rainbow Bridge.

It is a very pretty ring on camera. There are way too many prongs across the top of that ring for me. It looks like it would easily snag any one of my knit or crocheted dresses.

I really am intrigued by the hessonite garnet - I have a few pieces but I want more. However, the ring doesn't hold my interest and just like the rest of you I do not care for white topaz. I never buy anything that has white topaz. It's just too cheap looking and dull. I'd much rather have white zircon or even white sapphire. My wallet will remain closed!!

I am surprised he used topaz, he usually goes for the white zircon.

ITA, cant stand a ring where the prongs are so predominate.
