06.00 pm here - beautiful evening sun and burmese rubies ( 3 on the left) and hot pink to pink to purplish pink sapphire from Sri Lanka

Wow, Marlow! You're killing me over here with all your beauties. I think they each deserve their own cameo, especially the one hiding in the back that looks the most red.

Now you got me hungry for some cherry flavored hard candies.

Now you got me hungry for some cherry flavored hard candies.

Those are so pretty...you woudn't miss just one would you? I'd be happy to send you a stamped, self-addressed envelope !

 

[Marlow]

I will miss them - but if you go to Tucson or other bigger US show I could give you the booth number of my Sri Lanka vendor....

Beautiful Marlow, as usual, your collection is enviable.

I can't stand it, Marlow! Those are just beautiful -- and I really am impressed that you saw the moment for a terrific photo.

Thank you!!

Yes - was a lucky moment - I tried to make some pics of my blue sapphires and then this sunbeam...

I love that without a sense of scale in the photo, I'm assuming there all at least 5 carat stones

I stand corrected - they're all at least 6.34 carats!

 

[Marlow]

Exactly!!

Gorgeous stones...
Stunning moment in time...
Beautifully captured...

Thank you Marlow

Marlow,
Those are painful to look at. Painful because they do not belong to me.

 

[ilovegemstones]

Gorgeous Marlow! I would love to see one set... on my hand!

 

[Marlow]

Chrono - it is no pain to look at them - for me!!!



You see evening sunlight is the best "incandescent" light!

The best for setting would be the larger trilliant on the right - 0,84 ct, no window and eyeclean - color is a rich strawberry pink.
The others are to small, windowed or to rare....

Is the background you use regular graph paper?

 

[Marlow]

Is the background you use regular graph paper?

Yes, white 5mm square - so you can see the size and compare the color of the stones and the background.

I love the photograph. I miss having strong morning/afternoon sun beams inside. They produce beautiful photos.

Just gorgeous
