Some time ago I purchased a LOGR setting for a 6x8 mm oval stone. After months of indecision I finally decided to set this gorgeous 1.63 ct Mali garnet from Art Cut Gems into the mounting. I picked the ring up from the jewelers last week, and spent some time playing with the ring. Please excuse the sun photos

. I think I must need a lot of sparkle in my life, because this thing has me absolutely delighted.

Vendor''s photo. Rick writes in answer to my questions about the color: "Mali 6 is slightly greenish-yellow under a lightbulb, turning more strongly green in daylight. Mali 6 is a standard table cut, extremely bright."

I happened to be wearing a green sweater that day. I love the reflections of green sweater, my skin tones, and the yellow dandelion in this photo.

You can see my green sweater reflected in the metal below the stone, and the blue sky reflected along the top. I gotta say that I''m very pleased with my new pretty.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks, TL. It has good color and sparkle. Now that it is spring, these lighter greens are more in line with the colors I''m wearing.

Looks like a diamond in a "darker sunlight" shade; a real sparkler

Thank you CravingDiamonds, blink addict, D&T, Linda, ma re, Pandora, stepcutnut, and Catmom!

It is a pretty stone. I''m very pleased.

DH just treated the lawn yesterday, so the dandelions will be gone soon.

Thanks for looking.

It turned out lovely! Love the dandelion shot... hee hee! I am in the same boat, still waiting for flowers to appear. The weather here in OHIO gets quite wonky!

That''s a dandelion??? I thought it was another amazing flower that was cultivated precisely for the purpose of taking colored gem photos!! HA!! Well, I have plenty of dandilions (that''s probably the only "flower" I have growing in my backyard right now). I need to go take some pictures.

That stone is beautiful and has a real personality! Must put a Mali on my gemstone wish list, your photos really capture the color better than the vendor''s photos. Congrats on getting into a setting.
