My Moody Malaya!

[cushioncutnut]

I keep starting this new thread and it is giving me a hard time uploading pics??? I can see why they call them moody. I have a love-like relationship with the stone. It is more peach than pink than I would like....but it is a firey, beautifully cut stone. It is 1.46ct, 6.78mm.

It could be one of 2 things:
1. Keep picture size well under 100 KB
2. Change the file name to something new and different, and not used before. Skip dashes and the like.

ETA
You did it!

Congrats on your new stone!

Interesting color. Does it look anything like the vendor's photos of it?


ETA: I like the "last one" shot the best. It really shows off the faceting!

Wow! I actually think that is a nice ebay find if the price was right.

It''s gorgeous. But I prefer peach to pink. I love it.

Thanks everyone. Is $159 too much? Is it a keeper? or should I bite the bullet and get the malaya from John at Gemrite?

Personally, I like the GemRite one better. I like purer pinks, I think. And John is great to work with, and has gorgeous cuts!

I knew you had it on reserve and he offered it up to me if you didn''t buy it! I would love to buy it...but it is out of budget. I can''t decide either! If I forgo getting the stone from John, I will let you know so that you can reserve or buy it!

LOL! It might be out of budget for me right now, too. I''ve been going back and forth pretty much every day.

I guess I can take it off reserve now and hope it''s still there when i get back in June. But if not, hopefully a PSer will get it and love it!

I hope it is meant to be yours!!! It really is gorgeous!! I just need to slow down on my purchases of late. Too many projects and so little $$

The one from Gemrite really does look alot more PINK. So if you really want pink and don''t like the color of your ebay find...
Of course you could get the Gemrite stone and compare it to your ebay stone. I''d go with whatever color pleased me more.
