I see that people are screaming for a picture of this wonderous stone, so I just want to add my chant to choir. Harriet, I am sure you must be able to get a hold of a picture for all the gem lovers here.
I must say it's a marvellous feeling when someone you actually know in real life wins an award like this. I am thrilled this morning that a friend of mine swooped 1st place in the Best Use of Pearls. See my announcement on the pearl page.
Thanks all for the kind words and congrats! I'm flattered. Sorry for the delay in responding - I haven't posted since the board was upgraded, and it took me a while to figure out how to log in!
No great photos yet, but I did snap a quick one prior to shipping the stone off (below). I hope to take better photos when it is returned. It is currently in New York getting a professional photo shoot.
The design is a completely new one that I've been working out in my head for a year or so now. In case you haven't noticed, I gravitate mostly toward classic shapes and cuts, so I created this design in a traditional "pillowy" cushion with high crown. The morganite itself is 48.83 ct. and flawless. I will probably put together a little something for the next Gem Scoop (if I can ever find the time to send it out ) detailing some of the steps involved in cutting this little guy.
Thanks again to everyone who commented and offered their congratulations! By the way, if you're breaking open that bottle of bubbly - pass it my way
