I have received my spessartite pendant

[Arkteia]

And it is beautiful!

 

[Arkteia]

Another one

 

[Arkteia]

Another angle

 

[Arkteia]

A different light

 

[Arkteia]

Yet another one

 

[Arkteia]

I love it!

 

[Arkteia]

thanks, Peter!

 

[Arkteia]

No neck shots today - the battery went dead.
Hasta manana.
Thanks for watching!

 

[winternight]

Wow, that''s very cool. Amazing orange! I''m looking forward to seeing the neck shots!

 

[Burberrygirl]

It's gorgeous, I love your taste in jewelry! I can't wait to see neck shots when you get a chance

 

[ma re]

That is stunning! And the idea to play with the reflexivity of the metal - just brilliant! People rarely think of such "tricks" these days, it''s usually just the same old "get the stone and set it in something with prongs" thing. Love it! Hoping for more photos.

What a gorgeous and unique pendant! Can''t wait to see neck shots.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Love it! Such a great design

Luscious and inspiring -- I think I''ll be putting forward a few questions to Mr Lees about aura-pricing later on

 

[jewelz617]

Oh wow! That is a truly unique and beautiful pendant. It looks almost like glowing lava!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

unique and creative....with a halo that even i can appreciate! i love the use of the polished "bowl" to reflect the color which gives the illusion of a larger stone.....and reminds me of a sunset.

This! It makes the spess look twice as big. So pretty!

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you all for your interest and comments!
I think my photography skills are slowly improving. Long way to go of course but it will take me a while to figure out the light.
The stone is amazingly bright and orange. Nothing like yellow in the photographs but I hope you understand that it is difficult to capture orange very well. I am going to try outside when it gets "normal" there.
It is so orange it looks like a fake (I have some orange fakes).

Yes. Since I do not have many stones and plan to set and wear all of them perhaps I should move away from the idea of standard settings and use something untraditionall.

And how do people photoshop so that the background is not seen. Gosh, I have used this carpet for all my shots. Ideal background but I''d like to remove it.

 

[Gailey]

Very innovative, a rarity these days. It''s a lovely piece.

 

[Stone Hunter]

Very unique. I can''t wait to see your neck shots.

Do you have a link to this jeweler''s web site? I''d like to see more of his work. TFS!!
