Arcadian,
I’m sorry I missed you post as it was in between a few of my pictures. Thank you for the compliment,

MarriedTiger, Tsavvy, StepCutNut and Kunzite,
Thanks for looking.

LD,
I knew I’d forgotten something. I also realized I’d forgotten to take side views of the ring when worn on the finger to show how visible and lovely the second halo at the base looks to the eye.

Oh my goodness Chrono! Your ring is breathtaking!

 

[Kismet]

Your hand shots look great Chrono. It really is an absolutely gorgeous ring and it packs some serious finger coverage!

 

[chrono]

Thank you, Brandy and Kismet.

Is everyone tired of my pictures yet? I seem to have missed posting a few.

 

[chrono]

Ack! I can''t seem to attach any pictures this morning!!! *whistles as C goes off in search of the moderators*

 

[chrono]

A little blurry and washed out; I wonder if I accidentally left the flash on?

 

[chrono]

Showing some red here.

 

[chrono]

Trying again because nothing showed up.

 

[chrono]

I hope this one isn''t a repeat.

 

[chrono]

Must be nice to have tiny fingers and young smooth skin.

Showing more of the pink here.

If I did this correctly, you can place your hand up to your monitor to see how it will look on your finger. When I did this on mine, the ring in the picture is the same size as the real thing.

Wow Chrono,
You''ve done a stunning job! Congratulations

Chrono did a fabulous job with her design and creativity.
Whiteflash did a fabulous job making the setting.
Eric did a fabulous job sourcing the stone.

. . . but I think Mother Nature wins in creating that gorgeous gem!!

 

[chrono]

Thank you, CCN.

Eric,
Thank you too. Your gorgeous Mahenge really didn’t need any fancy setting to showcase it, but how could I not when it clearly deserves it?

TL,
That’s really cute; it reminds me of the “priceless” MasterCard advertisements.

 

[Lovinggems]

Wow more photos, nearly missed them! It does look more delicate in person, great ring!

 

[sleepyspinel]

Sorry to be chiming in late, but I just wanted to give my congrsts on a very gemmy and exceptional ring. Wear it in good health!

 

[chrono]

LG and Sleepy,
No one is ever late to the party; it is always welcoming and never-ending.

Thanks!

 

[PrecisionGem]

Chrono, how does this setting compare to an LORG? Just curious. I''m assuming you have an LOGR, maybe not. I haven''t seen any person, and wonder if they measure up to this setting.

 

[T L]

Chrono,
I just had to add that after my trip today to the Field Museum hall of gems, they sure could sure use your spinel in their collection!! They are in dire need of some more fine gems, especially spinels. LOL! Maybe you can put it on temporary loan.
