@lucida: is that a Paraiba ring in your avatar. Do you have a thread on it?

@Acinom
Hi hi, I am afraid not but I did introduce her in your thread “show me yr copper bearing......”

So gorgeous what a lovely shade. Can't wait to see what you do with it

If you don’t mind me sharing...

Jeff just finished my spinel and I’m absolutely overjoyed. I was pretty flexible on shape (and I like kites/shields), so it ended up larger than his original upper estimate. 2.22 ct!



In real life it’s apparently a bit less red (more a vivid hot pink) than the pictures show. Some light inclusions, but at eye level the color pretty much hides them. I can’t wait to do...something with it! Now to figure out settings

Not yet. Seeing yours and @JackTrick ’s gorgeous mahenges is making me so flipping ready for mine.

I hope you won't have long to wait, looking forward to seeing it!

BTW, I believe @JackTrick is looking for setting inspirations, and I thought of you right away!

@JackTrick This is quite a groovy design for a kite/ shield shape stone!



@elle_71125 How exciting, hope you are not waiting too long for yours!

I had some free time and we all know I love halos so...

Gaspppppp! I love it! I don’t have a halo yet, and that looks like it would be stunning!

I’m happy to help enable you into your first halo setting. If you need more ideas, you could start a new thread asking for setting help. We PSers are pretty good at coming up with ideas.
