Sunshine on a cloudy day- my spess! (and friends)

[icekid]

ok, I've finally gone through the photos and resized... here is lots of orange. It's certainly not a quiet stone

(with little medium tsav)

Both tsav and spess cut by the talented Gene.

(note: poor pink spinel that I dropped; shattered the culet. Have to see if there is anything Barry can do to revive her

)

Thanks, T_L!

the spess weighs 1.9ish and measures 8.3x5.5 I think. Tsav is around .75 ct and 5.5 mm. Little OEC is a little over .5 ct and 5 mm, L(ish) color.

Thanks cushion. I think I am finally getting the hang of my DSLR.

 

[icekid]

glowing..

I took tons more photos, but I think at this point they become a bit more redundant.

I''d love setting ideas for the spess- I am definitely leaning toward east-west.

spess is not a "shy" stone....and given its sunny nature, east/west settings are great!

Thanks, Freke. Had to get a little blue action in there for you

 

[FrekeChild]

You know how much I love my blue...

 

[innerkitten]

I love your spess! It''s such a cool cut.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, wow, Icekid! I just love your spess, and the Tsav and OEC are nice eye candy, too!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Love the spess, I think you will get a lot of enjoyment out of that stone. I agree with MZ about an EW setting.

The other stones are great two. I would love to get an old cut diamond someday. Yours seems to show a lot of fire.

 

[Skippy123]

Love your collection, beeeeeautiful

 

[TravelingGal]

Gorgeous stones! Been meaning to tell you every time I see your new av, my mouth waters!

I''d be interested in your setting ideas. My pad has been put on the back burner because I just don''t know exactly what I want (well, I do, but it would cost me a fortune so I am still looking for plan B). Your spess is similar in size to my pad. East/west would be neat for your stone, although N/S looks great by elongating the fingers.

 

[Catmom]

Beautiful stones and your close-up photos are amazing!!
