Oohh marcyc, so pretty! I especially love the green sapphire, you hardly ever see those!

 

[marcy]

Thanks Monkey Pie. You know I just messed around with taking close up photos because of our discussion last night. I have the "bug" now.

 

[marcy]

Rats I just realized I didn''t get close ups of all of them. Oh well, maybe some other day.

HEHE I''m a bad influence. No one here will ever mind pictures of sparklies though, and you have so many!

 

[marcy]

Okay, I do have OCD - here is the last group I didn''t take close up photos of before.

L to R: mint garnet, rhodolite garnet, Kentucky blue sapphire, yogo sapphire, pink sapphire, rhodolite garnet and emerald

 

[marcy]

Monkey Pie, I do love rings. I would say earrings are my second favorite kind of jewelry. Thanks for getting in the mood to take photos today.

Now I seriously need to do something constructive. Christmas is only 10 days away.

The spess in the first photo is so vivid! That is quite a collection, the last photo is like a good dream

 

[marcy]

Thanks Addy. That spessartite is amazing. My ering is an AGSO RB and that spessartite can hold it''s own against it - it''s not quite there but darn close.

 

[onvacation]

Wow what a collection! It must be hard to choose what to wear from all those pretties.

 

[marcy]

Thanks Onvacation. I pick my clothes around what ring I want to wear. Is that bad?

 

[Catmom]

What a beautiful collection!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[marcy]

Thanks Michelle.

 

[mochi]

My goodness, Marcy!! That is some collection you got there. I especially love the spess and the Ky sapphire. Great pictures!

 

[marcy]

Thanks Mochi. Those are 2 of my favorites as well, they are very nice stones. I was talking online with Monkey Pie last night about macros and so I just decided to take some pictures this morning. I sent a copy of the page to my husband at work and told him to check out my signature. He told me I need help. Ha Ha.

 

[cushioncutnut]

What a gorgeous, colorful collection. I think you have one of the biggest collections I have ever seen! How on earth do you decide what to wear???

 

[Linda W]

Holy moly! you are a lucky girl marcy - what an incredible collection!

 

[marcy]

Cushioncutnut, I have favorites that I wear over and over but I try to let them all see the light of day every now and then.Most of them represent a different semester at school; I teach part time and we use my teaching check for spending money sometimes.

Linda, I am glad you like my collection.I am tired and feel yucky – but since it’s a cold I can do things around here.I just went to the store to get chicken soup and some cheese to make a grilled cheese sandwich.I guess I need comfort food to get better.Thanks for asking.

Thanks Violet.I don’t have any yellows yet but they don’t tend to look good on my skin.I love yellow beryl though.

Nothing wrong with a little OCD.

You have some great stones, Marcyc, and that spess really sings! I really dig the rhodolite bezel ring!

Hehehe! My husband got a good giggle out of your sig when I showed him last night, too. Ah men, they just don''t understand.

I like the commercial for that new movie The Spirit, where Eva Mendez'' character talks about, "The shiny thing to end all shiny things." I can''t help but think of a ginormous diamond or spinel. Eee!

 

[PrincessDijon]

Marcy!

Your collection is magnificent!

Your kentucky blue sapphire is stunning!

 

[marcy]

Thanks Coati, I have OCD about clean things too – hmm maybe that is why I clean my jewelry when it get it back from a cleaning and checking at the jewelers.The bezel set rhodlite is really pretty.

MonkeyPie, my husband does kind of understand because he is a watch guy.I would have to agree they have to be talking about a gigantic diamond or gemstone.Cool!

Thanks PrincessDijon, that color of blue is really nice.
