Hubba hubba, Ripka ring perfection: Newjersey and Merrylass, you rock!

After yesterday's disappointing receipt of the pia ring in ruby and turquoise doublet ring, today brought much more wonderful goodies!

Newjersey, you are correct, the tsavorite garnet ring is absolute perfection! A smaller silhouette, it is no less in stature because of its size due to the incredible sourcing of the tsavorite garnets. There are top notch, richly saturated and throw off incredible sparkle and fire. Nothing shy about these stones! Judith's genius in this ring was a smaller settiing that lets the stones shine -- in a larger look, it could have been garish. Winner and worth every single penny!

Merrylass, you know your london blue topaz and you did not steer me wrong! The LBT east-west ring is Judith at her finest: substantial, intricately carved silver as a platform for an exquisite london blue topaz. This is one of her best rings, period.

Thanks to both ladies for their recommendations!
