Heads Up!

For 16.7ct. Tanzanian amethyst TS on ShopHQ. Anyone buying? Bling Queen? I'm passing as I have the amethyst Victress ring which is too similar. It's very pretty though.

Hi Kachina! I just posted on another thread I was passing on it because I have the victress ring. I have both victress rings in London blue and the Amy. I like the stone, but I'm not crazy about the ring part at all. Also, the stone is just too big in size to wear as an everyday ring.

I think it looks too much like the Victresse. Gorgeous ring. Also more expensive than the Victresse when it came out.

I think the TS is quite a bit bigger than the Victress but the designs are very much alike. When Michael held his little flashlight up to it, it looked like it was filled with inclusions, or else I was seeing something else.

I don't care for the ring part of it. I think he could have done better in that dept.

His big rings are starting to all look alike. I have the verde Oro and citrine and can hardly tell them apart.

I agree. His rings are starting to look the same. I've started to slow down on ordering them because of that. I think he's also gotten a bit too expensive now on his new pieces. I'm glad I have a great collection of his rings, because of his rising prices on things, I won't be able to purchase anything else from his line. It's just getting too expensive.

I'm passing, but Michael has a beautiful sunstone ring (I love sunstone) on and I'm thinking about it.

Does Melissa Miner annoy you as much as she does me? She's OK alone but put her with a man and it's like a teenage giggle fest. I wish someone she reports to would put a damper on her mouth. I'm also tired of hearing her remind us that she's a graduate gemologist (why do they always use the word ""graduate"")? It seems like Paul Deasy just eggs her on.

Kachina - so agree - when she gets with Chuck it's even worse - one time he said -when he was on with the next host - "you have to excuse me, but I just spent an hour with Melissa"!!

Well, I ordered it, and then I noticed the inclusions in the one aired in a presentation like Kachina. Hope the one I receive is inclusion-free, or else it will be going back. It will be my first Michael V. amethyst.

Jersey, I hope you get a good one. It's a wow of a ring.

Thank you, Kachina.

Hi ladies, Enjoy who bought it in good health. I am passing this time, it is too big for me and I also do not want my rings to look alike. On top of it amethyst is not my favorite stone, I like it but not loving it. The color is very royal though, as for cracks and inclusions they are normal for quartz and good luck finding flawless this size. And yes, Melissa is always annoying . I think she also has low self esteem.

I ordered the amethyst stalagcite ring. It seemed quite large and I'm always looking for something ""different"". I don't think it has the phony drusy sparkle. I have a large wire wrapped pendant that will go with it.
