Part of my mint pair. They're terribly unphotogenic. In real life, they look like the one Pandora posted here: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=74007

Thanks! The red will go into a ring and will probably have a halo and a split shank. Any ideas?

My spessartites have already been plopped into martinis. My emerald, spinel and tourmalines are waiting for Leon.

The spinel is really pretty; are you going to make it a ring?  Is your emerald done?  Why are you grey; did the spinel do the trick?

Oh, I LOVE the red spinel! Where did you get this one?  They are really prettier than most of the rubies you see.

Beautiful stones! That red is very bright and cheery! I love reds like that with a yellow gold bezel around them... it seems to make them pop even more. I have an oval pinkish-red stone (IDK what it is ) that I want to do something with, but whatever I do, I want a yellow gold bezel around it.

Are you feeling more cheery?  I hope so!  Your beautiful spinel should do the trick!  What a beautiful stone...I guess I should say, what beautiful stones!  I can't wait to see them set.

The spinel will go into a ring. I haven't decided on the emerald.

The spinel is from Pala. The emerald and mints are from Paraiba International, and the danburite is from Jeff White.

I took it back because I missed it. I'll hand it over to him in the new year.

I don't like pendants. Leon will halo the emerald so as to protect it. The asscher is about 9.9 mm. sq.

I thought you told me he had it. hheeheee  I wasn't losing my marbles.

A halo would be pretty.  Have you seen the new color stones he did and there is one w/diamond going down the ring like drops; it is very pretty!

I am dying for chocolate tonight. hehee
