Hello,
thankyou all for your lovely comments about the gem and my mum - I''m very
glad its gotten the PS tick of approval ..

IK, it will be going in the sterling silver lotus setting - unfortunately, I just lost my job on monday,
so I don''t have a gold budget at the moment

But she wears and loves Sterling, so I''m sure she''ll be
happy with it.

Thanks mochi! I had a heart-stopping moment while outside photographing it, and it jumped outta the
container and fell to the ground !

Very glad there is no damage, but next time I must find some
grass to stand on while doing photo shoots, lol !

Ha ha Freke - I''ll tell her if she doesn''t like it, there will be a bunch of PS''ers waiting to take it
off her hands - she''ll ask me what the heck I''m on about?!

Hi Gecko - yep, someone in another thread described it like the water at Hawaii - I''ve never been, but
I thought it was a neat description.

Thankyou also CCN, rainy, AG, TL and Akmiss.

Please don''t have a loose gemstone over the grass. If it falls you may never see it again. And, yes, this is the voice of experience talking.

Gorgeous tourmaline, BTW.

Oh, I''m so sorry about your losing your job on Monday, AJ. It''s been so hard on everyone this year.

Cheer up and stay positive even though I know it''s really hard.

As for the stone, it''s lovely. It still looks a shade darker in your picture compared to Dan''s. Is that the case?

 

[marcy]

Gorgeous gemstone. Your mom will love it.

Sorry to hear about your job.

Oh no Fly, I''m sorry to hear you lost a gem!
I figured it was just a better option than the concrete I dropped it on, lol..
Thanks for the advice

Hey chrono,
thankyou for your thoughts. Yes, it sucks pretty bad. I'm just hoping I won't stay out of work long

I would say the actual colour of the photo is very accurate, but yes still IRL would be one shade darker.
Basically I don't think people will be surprised anymore when they receive the gem compared to the photo

Thanks Marcy for the compliment and thoughts.

Being bored on a sunday, and wanting to see what this guy will look like with sterling silver, I thought I''d
take a couple more pics..as much as I''m a gold lover, I have to admit this stone works much better with the SS

I also think the colour looks awesome on the hand !

 

[arjunajane]

 

[arjunajane]

and with flash..

Setting should be finished this week..promise pics when complete, maybe if we're lucky my mum
will let me take a handpic on her, and if not I will happily stand in!

 

[zoebartlett]

I love the color!

 

[arjunajane]

Thanks Zoe B, me too!

 

[T L]

AJJ,
I just wanted to say that I''m sorry about your job. The stone is beautiful.

 

[mochi]

WOW!... that''s an intense color. It doesn''t really change with the flash, pretty consistent. Very nice!!

AJ...I just back tracked and read this. I''m so sorry about your job! So many people is affected with this economy, all around the world. Sending positive thoughts your way!!

Oh boy, do I know about dropping these slippery stinkers! My heart always stops when it happens, but I still take them outside for that photo shoot..

 

[arjunajane]

Hey girls,
thankyou TL and Mochi for your thoughts, it is very kind of you to say so

So, what does a girl do on a sunday night to keep occupied when she should be doing
study/looking for jobs..?

Enlists the help of poor Fi to try and build a light box and take pics of jewellery, of course, ha!

Here are the couple I got before my camera batt. died..disclaimer, I have no idea what I am doing, and I realize
these are waaayy too yellow. That is due to the materials I used, which was whatever was at hand, lol..you wouldn''t believe
me what made up the "tent" if I told you

The couple that involve some colour..

 

[arjunajane]

..

 

[arjunajane]

last one with colour..

 

[arjunajane]

Pls don''t throw rocks, these next couple don''t have any C.S, but I didn''t really think it worth starting
a new thread for them lol..

 

[arjunajane]

last one!
thanks for letting me share, ok now amateur hour is over, ha!

Hi AJ,

I''m very sorry to hear about your job! Best of luck finding the perfect new one!

AWESOME new stone....LOVE THE COLOR!!!

You take AMAZING photos!!!

AJ just read about your job loss. That sucks major darling.
Fingers crossed something will come up soon. In the mean time Clever Kevin''s 900 dollars stimulus package should be winging its way to you and that SHOULD be spent on lovely pretties!

 

[arjunajane]

Thankyou very much Lori and Kate

And yes Kate, quite excited about that 900 - timing couldn''t be better.
Mine is pretty much already spent on pretties, ha! However I fear Kevin will not approve of me sending all my stimulus
$$ to artists in the US and Thailand, ha ha

 

[Dandi]

Hey aj, that colour is incredible!!

Your mum is one lucky lady.

And I''m terribly sorry about your job, I hope you aren''t out of work for long!! You spend that stimulus package on just whatever you like missy!!
