@BlingQueen022  Bingy,  would you believe I just a few minutes ago got my garnet ring?   I paid $15, postage for this envelope for fourth rate service.   I've spent the week chasing it down.   I'm livid. 

 

Anyway,  I'm a little disappointed in the garnet.   The big stone is so dark,  I don't really see much color in it.   I do like the simple setting.   I'm going to go outside and see if it brightens up any. 

 

I also got 144-260, a London blue which may be the one someone mentions above.   It's a wowsa and definite keeper.  Quite a definite presence on the finger.   I have several smaller London blues and have been wanting a honker.   Got It!

@Kachina624 hi Kachina:  Sorry about your ring.  my center stone is a very dark red and you can see two sort of embers in the center of it.  I like the color of mine.  Again, I have one of Michael's honker oval hessonite rings I purchased a while ago.  I have somethng to compare the tsv center stone too and the tsv ring stone is a definite cherry red sparkly stone.  I can't believe how long it took for you get yours.  Thank goodness you got it and it didn't get lost.  If you keep it, wear in the best of health.  

 

I have that London Blue ring you posted here and it's a huge chunk of london blue for sure.  I haven't worn it in a while.  Maybe I should dig it out and get some wear out of it.  That ring will go great witht Chuck's london blue tennis bracelet I just purchased.  Lots of london blue in that one.  Enjoy that ring and let me know if you're going to keep he hessonite.  I love mine.  Love the flush of red color it gives off.

@BlingQueen022   Yes,  I'll have to dig out my tennis bracelet.   I got it from Shop 4 or 5 years ago.  I think this London Bl is more sparkly than a single stone would be. 

 

I don't see any "embers"  in my ring.   I like the side stones better than the center.

@BlingQueen022  Happy Friday, Bling!  I hope you're all shoveled out and things are returning back to normal after the herendous blizzard!  Like anisha, I thought of you when I saw the mini cento presented.  I hope you enjoy to the fullest as it's certainly a lovely "sparkler".

 

Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

@BlingQueen022 -- I ordered that, too! The big one was just "too big" for me personally but boy I happened to be watching at the right time when the mini cento was presented and I jumped right on it. Mine shows as shipped, I can't wait to see it in person. Love MV's rings.

@BlingQueen022 If I heard it correctly on the presentation, the mini cento was a debut item for that show.  I was excited to see it offered.  Sounds like his office got lots of calls after the cento cento was offered asking for the smaller size.

@Kachina624 sorry that you had such poor service on delivery of the ring and then aren't happy with the quality either.  I ordered the pendant because I have another garnet ring of MV's.  I'm not sure that the color it thrills me all that much either so it may be going back.  I wanted it because it was a nice size stone and unique but these days I have to be very happy with anything I spend my $ on or back it goes.

@GinaV24 Hi Gina.  Congrats on that new ring.  I was surprised to see a mini version of the cento.  I just happened to be going through the lineup that night and saw it.  Watched the video of it and ordered it immediately.  The big honker one didn't get good reviews but they were mainly because of the size of the stone.  What amazes me in the reviews they said the stone was too big.  They didn't know it was 50 carats when they ordered it hahahahahahaha . I'm glad he made a smaller version if you can call 11 carats small, lol.  Enjoy your new ring and please post a review when you receive it.  mine also shipped and can't wait to get it.  The sparkle on it was electric.
