And Fly Girl is the winner! These are also from ACS. I believe they are the ones Matata wants to yank from me ears if she ever met me while I''m wearing them.Date: 4/23/2009 12:30:06 PM

Flame spinels?
Love, love, love your pictures and your collection!
Correcto! I had the hardest time trying to capture the true colour of Jeff White’s asscher cut pink spinel. The pictures that show the true pink colour are all blurry or show a ton of glare. I think the dispersion messes with the camera which leaves me with these ugly extinct looking purple pictures. If I do retake any pictures, this pink spinel will join the Paraiba for a re-shoot. They both deserve it.

An even clearer picture of the setting but it makes the stone look yucky! Please refer to the first picture for the true colour. For some reason, the blurry pictures show the most accurate colours.

OMG that spessI agree with you about the blurry photos showing the best color though. Not sure why!
Thank you. I can handle the faraway shots where you can''t see my old looking hands. What''s worse, I just discovered some sun spots near my thumbs. It''s such a weird place for sun spots.Date: 4/23/2009 2:47:46 PM

I can still tell that it glows! Beautiful stone, and a beautiful ring. Looks great on you!Date: 4/23/2009 2:13:41 PM

Sorry there’s no close up picture due to my aversion of the wrinkly finger syndrome.
I am sort of embarrased to admit that those 2 rings are the only set ones. I''ve been having too much fun "hunting" down gemstones that I never paid much attention to setting them. Not only that, every time I think about the cost of the setting, my mind equates that to the cost of purchasing another gemstone so guess which one wins out?
Thank you Shinyrocks. That is a 5.03 ct Loliondo spessartite measuring 9.6 x 9.6 mm cut by Jeff White. You can also see it in his gallery of completed projects:Date: 4/23/2009 5:12:25 PM

O M G !!!
What a killer spess! I gotta get me one of those. If you don't mind me asking, where did you procure that beauty?
LOL! THat''s hilarious! I can see your logic, it is impeccable, but at the same time I think it is tragic not to be able to wear more of those stones and enjoy them every day! Or do you carry them around in their little boxes in your pruse and arrange them on your desk at work?Date: 4/23/2009 7:46:43 PM

I can totally relate to that! I''m just glad there''s LOGR for inexpensive settings.Date: 4/23/2009 7:46:43 PM
