Thank you katomm, please look at the recent pictures on the prior page of MTG's wonderful new pendant and Megeve's Cartier ruby jewelry. Gorgeous!!

Here are my finished and set cuprian in the double rose/white gold halo and my spessartite in another halo, along with my rubellite (which I wear all the time hence the reason it's in the pic).

Thanks everyone. Here's a super up close in focus shot of the spessartite so that you can see the facet pattern, the bright steps of color, and the quality of the diamonds on the LOGR. I just wish my camera didn't make the stone look so brown.

. It's more of a reddish orange. The window is also completely gone now. There are no airlines, the top part looks like an airline, but that's a shadow of the stone on the metal.

Your macro shots are great TL! Glad that you are getting the hang of it... now you can reshoot all your gemmies up close and personal

Glad the miniwindow vanished as well!

1.13 ct Tourmaline cut by Barry Bridgestock. Color is closest to the third photo. LOGR setting is not as horrible as the photo shows.

Imperial Malaya Garnet 2.18 ct and 7.5 mm. This stone is so amazing in real life and it is a shame that none of the photos come even close. It is a color shifter that goes from a straight pink in indirect natural light to pink with red flashes under fluorescent lighting and a peachy pink in bright sunlight.

My 1.07ct blue-ish green tourmaline from Barry Bridgestock in Whiteflash setting. Link to thread.

I am starting to think that green tourmaline is my favorite type of green stone. Stunning!

Here''s a precision cut lavender spinel 1.5 carats in a rose gold LOGR. This is a true lilac colored gem. This one is from Tanzania, and the above one is from Sri Lanka.

I love the band on your ring. So different!

I love pink and that is a great shade.

A teaser shot of my newly reset 4 carat mandarin next to my 3.5 carat asscher spess. The setting is an LOGR that has a VS diamond upgrade. I originally bought the setting with SI diamonds, but I returned it for a VS upgrade. Photo taken in diffused sunlight in my den. I just realized now that I have the reset that this pear, although pretty clean, has some sleepiness to it, indicative of Namibian material. I bought it a long time ago, so I suspect it is. Pala indicates in their spess buying guide that Namibian mandarin spessartites are sleepy. The asscher is much more crystal in appearance.

Gorgeous orange in both TL. You are right about the Namibians. Also, from what I have seen, Namibian garnets are rarely so Fanta-orange in larger sizes.

Mandalay setting by Hearts of Water from Etsy. This is one of those rings that looks better in real life. The "ropes" are very thin and delicate. Setting is in silver with an aqua that was given to me as a gift.
