@TL, what is the size of the diamonds on your spinel? Oh, and what is the size of that spinel ? I hope you don't mind me asking. I have a trillion spinel and am not sure what to do with it. I think my spinel is around the size of yours at 4.5 carats.

Thank you for your help. I thought all trillions were hopeless until I saw yours. I only bought the trillion spinel because it was so neon glowy pinkish red and it has sat, unset. I am thinking of setting it. Thank you for your help.

Sick with the flu. Trying to cheer myself up with bright color.

I'm so sorry you aren't feeing well.

May I ask, what those orange/red/pink (I can't tell what color) stones are in that beautiful ring?

The pink/red gems in the inner halo are rubies. The orange gems in the outer halo are spinels.

Here's another picture at the start of sunset. The melee gems really catch the light and glitter, although I'm not able to capture the scintillation in still shots.

Thank you!
I have been looking at spinels from Yvonne Raley and she has some called copper orange and some called light orange and just orange. Are these spinels from her? If so, do you remember which they were?

Thank you! I have kept all three orange shades in my cart for a while now agonizing over which ones to get. They are even more beautiful in your photos than I ever could have imagined. And, I know how difficult it is to capture the beauty of gems in photos.
I really appreciate it.

Not mine but my good friend's emerald ring. We went out for a lovely walk and some tea and I couldn't resist snapping a couple of photos of her ring.

My Afghan tourmaline cut by Jerry Newman. I’m wearing it as an e-ring because it’s sits up pretty high and I worry about knocking the stone on things when it’s on my right hand. Please try to ignore the dry winter hands!

Wearing my “ Dad” ring today. My father wore the big version of this ring in all diamonds his entire adult life. His was originally my grandfather’s. When I found this baby version with rubies after my dad died I had to have it because it reminds me so much of him. The rubies are abraded and they are my only natural rubies that aren’t microscopic but I do love the glow.
