My pink Spinel by JEFF WHITE

[athenaworth]

Bright Ice, I don't know about you, but I'm already coming up with new projects for JW to cut for me. He is definitely a man who knows what he's doing.

OH YES!! I want him to cut me an Aqua in his antique cushion, about 5cts

Omg! I was thinking aqua cushion too! But more like 2 carats :-/

Gorgeous stone!!!

It's very pretty and I can't wait to see pics of it set in your ring. I bet you're well pleased!

ETA: was this from the same parcel as drillsgtsgem's asscher?

Yes it is from the same parcel. Although mine is a bit more saturated, hence the darker color.

I'm so loving these pinks and Jeff's cutting. I think I need to start a JW savings account

 

[Arkteia]

Beautiful color and cut. Congratulations!

Did ya get your spinel??

 

[bright ice]

I had it sent directly to Victor Canera for mounting so I have not seen it yet. I had him hold my ring after making the custom setting for my diamond.

I had to send my new ring back for re-sizing so it is in the mail now. I chose to wait to get them both at once to save on shipping. It will be next week sometime. Victor says the stone looks great in my setting, although it almost did not fit because it is so deep.

I am VERY anxious to get them both

 

[athenaworth]

Oh yeah! I remember that now. I'm excited!

Any update?

The rings are in the mail, should be at my local post office tomorrow. Coming by registered mail, tomorrow will be a week since they were mailed.

Thanks Kenny. Yes it is, I requested a photo of the rough before Jeff cut it.

Holy crap! That's GORGEOUS!!! It's so hot! Does that sorta satiate your desire for a hot pink spinel, cuz you sure do seem to have a hottie right there! (oh and I can say how weird it is to see my icon in the background - so stupid, I know)

OH wowsers, that is lovely! You must be thrilled! Congratulations

No, it does not satisfy my desire for a true hot pink.

I thought you would see it, cool!

 

[mousey]

STUNNING!

 

[drillsgtsgem]

WOW!!!!!!!!! That is GORGEOUS!!!! I hope you have some shades to wear from all that sparkle!!!

I saw this yesterday and thought of you: http://cgi.ebay.com/RAREST-2-42-CTS-ORANGY-PINK-NATURAL-SPINEL-CERTIFIED-/310294160003?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483ef92283 It's not as big as what you're going for, but damn it's bright. They're the same folks that I bought my "drunken ebay tourmaline" from and the photos (at least for that one) were spot on.

That's a beautiful ring, congratulations!! Can't wait to see more clear glamor shots!

 

[Aoife]

What a fantastic flash of color! I can't really see the detail of the setting, but I'm really looking forward to your photos this evening because this looks amazing.

 

[Laila619]

What a beautiful shade of pink!!

 

[sapphirecats]

that is a gorgeous pink! what a beauty! and, how interesting to see the rough before, that is a very unique souvenier wow I don't think i would sleep at night with that beauty calling me...I'd be staring at it!

 

[ZestfullyBling]

Its breathtaking sitting in between to 2 diamonds!!! Pretty Pink!!!

 

[alene]

Beautiful stone! Looks just perfect in your setting!

 

[bright ice]

I am back with some better photos, although I just can't seem to get this picture taking skill mastered.

In some of the photos, it looks really dark but in reality it is not. I just fail to capture it's beauty as it GLOWS in the right lighting.
