Help me set my green and pink rocks (lots of pics!!)

[icekid]

I finally have some reasonable pictures of my new stones, so I am ready to share (and get your input!!)

The first one is a 5.6 mm Tsavorite, cut by He Who Must Not Be Named. It is beyond fabulous. It has a very high crown, and I am constantly amazed at the dispersion. It is so firey! It truly rivals a lot of diamonds. I've been thinking of setting it into a martini pedant, but ahh it pains me since I won't be able to appreciate its beauty as often. I guess that is still the leading idea... but I'd love other ideas/input!

Here is the photo by CWMNBN......

Precision cut... no kidding!

 

[icekid]

It is very brilliant..

GORGEOUS!!!!

I think a pendant would be stunning!!!

With its new pink spinel buddy... the 6.5 mm Barry Bridgestock cut pinkie that I just picked up from ACS sale!

Oh, I love that stone! I would definitely do a ring

Who is he that can not be named! This person was mentioned before and I have NO clue. But I am dying to know! Someone please let me in!

OK, I just saw the pink BB stone and now I kicking myself inthe but because I was considering buying that same stone! Beyond gorgeous and deserves to be a pendant. Right there in front for the whole world to see!

This is the best I could do to capture the tsav''s fire on camera...

[icekid]

Ok, last one for now before this becomes totally excessive

 

[innerkitten]

Great stones. I bought my spess from that same CWMNBN. I would do a ring with the tsav too and maybe a pendant with the pink one.

 

[icekid]

geckodani- Thanks! I am still leaning toward a pendant too..

akmiss- heee I''m not giving the spinel up now

The anonymous cutter.... ah, if you search through Freke''s spinel thread there is a good tip on how to google and find him. He is very talented!

 

[FrekeChild]

Oh I''ve been waiting for these pics of the spinel!!!

Wow I love them icekid! What are you leaning towards?

Really... I have no idea

I have so much fun playing with them while they''re loose that it''s difficult for me to settle anything about what I really want in my head. I am seriously open to any ideas. I guess budget is somewhat of an consideration, since I need to save money to buy more rocks...... most. addicting. hobby. ever.

A three stone pendant or ring could be really pretty! These are beautiful!
