Freke is renovating her home and is obviously planning on encrusting some of the ceelings with gems.

What a fantastic idea! It would be like an Ottoman palace, but with gems instead of tiles...yum yum yummy!

Hey, quit talking about snow.....[stamps foot!] We''re expecting 3 or more inches tonight. It''s supposed to be spring for crying out loud!

Freke, love all the new stones. I hope you find a way to keep them all.

 

[FrekeChild]

Ok. Garnet cushion. This was so hard to capture. I didn''t do it justice.

 

[FrekeChild]

Big burnt orange garnet...looks like a pumpkin.

another...

 

[FrekeChild]

One of the teal blue tourms...(is this the right one?)

 

[FrekeChild]

same stone. Barry said that these two windowed pretty badly, but he loved the color.

 

[FrekeChild]

Garnet hearts

 

[FrekeChild]

another

 

[FrekeChild]

Last one for now. I was really afraid to take them out of the box I had them in (belongs to the 7.41 silver topaz, which is why there is that huge indent in the cotton) so they are all under glass pics...and they are teeny tiny so I can't grasp them with the gem holder.

Eeee the cushion...*drool*

And the teal EC''s are my favorite, especially the lighter fat one!

 

[Linda W]

yummy, it totally looks like your holding a small ember of fire or something. Mesmerising!

 

[swimmer]

freke, you are a nut!
yes, take some silversmithing clases ASAP and go into business on etsy.

 

[mochi]

I love the color of that toumaline!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol. I''m glad you guys like them. I can''t even go through them and pick favorites!!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

Well, they are all mine. Do you guys have any setting ideas?

 

[Gailey]

I just love those little pink hearts.

 

[FrekeChild]

Lol Gailey. What would you do with them?

 

[ladypirate]

Oh my gosh, Freke--those are so fun! I really want to get some stackers at some point, but I figure it''ll have to wait until house purchase is finalized. Boo!

 

[mochi]

A necklace like this but with the gemhearts??

It think it''s cute, but I wonder if the gems would be too heavy??

 

[FrekeChild]

Is that Tiff''s mochi?

The hearts are tiny--only around 3.5mm or so, so I think that would be fine. I was thinking maybe a ring since they are so small. Otherwise you wouldn''t really be able to tell what they are I think? I dunno. What do you think?
