Wow, thats gorgeous

I'm impressed at how much likeness there is between the actual pic and the vendor pic.

Any ideas how you are going to set it?

(ooo didn't see the spinel, very pretty!)

Thank you m00sie, it''s a little bit more red in person, but my new camera makes my gems more orange than reality.

I am thinking a pendant, puffy heart shaped, Sunstone in the middle, bezelled in yellow gold, surrounded by silver carvings and rimmed with yellow gold, I hope that makes sense.

Not sure how feasible this is and the dangers of bezelling a sunstone.

Kunzite from Mastercutgems, it''s really hard to photograph this one and it looks a lot better in person.

Sans Carlos peridots, spess garnet cabs, imperial topazes from Mastercutgems, and a topaz from Gemline.

Gorgeous! That spinel in particular - it glows!

Awesome sunstone and spinel. Do you mind sharing stats on both and who the vendor is for the sunstone?

 

[mochi]

WOW! Fantastic pictures of your beautiful gems...gorgeous!!

Thank you FG, I do have plans for earring charms, not in the immediate future though as my ears aren''t pierced.

Thank you Bella_mezzo, I''m a true procrastinator so it might be a long while before I set any of these, but your post is a nice motivator.

Those are all really nice. I love the color on the spinel and the topaz pair is super cool!

LD,
I love that sunstone!! Nice new gemmies!!

 

[virgoruby]

What a gorgeous collection of gems!

(am sooo jealous...)

 

[ma re]

Nice stones, especially the first two!

 

[oddoneout]

Great collection. I really like the Sunstone.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

Loving that sunstone! I''m not a fan of hearts simply because I''m not very girly but that color would make me reconsider.

 

[Kim Bruun]

The Mahenge spinel is gorgeous. I also really like the peridots. Peridot is a stone I usually pass over, but yours just pop!

 

[Largosmom]

I love them all...wondered who got the Imperial topaz pair from Dana and the sunstone color is
