After being in both Maui and Sri Lanka recently, “Ocean” seemed an appropriate name for this Tourmaline beauty. This mix of blue and green is a feat not many gem types do well. Many gems have tried, most have failed. So we’re left with Tourmaline for this true 🌊 color!

When we’re in Sri Lanka, we actually do find a few things other than Sapphires! Yellow Zircons are one of them! Sri Lanka seems to produce a special color that’s creamy, calming, and refreshing. Just like the Sapphires we export, this Butter Zircon was pre-cut. The locals actually did a great job, so I chose to leave their design and just adjust the angles on one tier of facets and retouch each facet on the gem with a higher level of polish.

Hello, gorgeous! This was a day I jumped out of the box. 😅 Sometimes I need a cutting challenge, creating a design that stretches the limits of my imagination and skills. This Rhodolite Garnet was singing before I even took it off the dop!

I can’t decide what to call this shape, which was ingeniously faceted by @stierbstier! Shield? Asymmetrical hexagon? Help me out in the comments! I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Whatever we call it, I’m thrilled with how this Green Sapphire turned out! It’s been a piece of rough sitting in my rough pile “to be cut” for…well, actually I think I won’t tell you how long. 😜 It was worth the wait to see the magic Beth worked with it!
