Red Spinel - some eye candy

[Dioptase]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share this super nice picture of a Tanzanian (Mahenge) red Spinel. 3.48ct.

Ooh, that looks like a stunning color!!! Who's the lucky owner of this stone?

Hi Dioptase! That is a beautiful spinel - love the cutting. Just wanted to let you know, though, that as a trade member - you work for Nomad, right? - you are really not supposed to post photos of your own stones with attribution, as its a form of self-promotion...that said, eegads, you have some gorgeous stones, and your photography is stellar!

Wow!

Lovely stone and background setup. Very elegant and artistic way to present the spinel.

Minou,
I know about the PS self promotion policy but Diopside doesn't work in sales. I think she's in the photography department so does it still count? Or it doesn't matter because Diopside works for Nomad aka trade member, therefore the rule applies?

I thought it is only in SMTB that photos with logos are not allowed. Regardless, I believe vendors may post photos of stones for our edification, but not ones that are available for sale.

eta, gorgeous stone and photo!

My apologies for misspelling the OP's handle. It is Dioptase, not Diopside.

Well then my apologies, I stand corrected! I really enjoy Dioptase's postings, and I didn't want to see that stop in the event that they were considered a vendor.

No need for apologies, my friend. It was merely a question because I have no idea myself. I certainly would to see more eye candy by Dioptase. Lots more.
