Spinels: Lavender and Hot Pink

[FrekeChild]

I haven't made threads on these stones, and I had some time to "waste" today, so I spent it taking pics of them!

Lavender:
1.63ct
6.2mm (I think?)
Asscher
Peter Torraca

Hot pink:
???
7x6
slightly elongated cushion
Tan on ebay

Both were secondhand!

Last of the lavender!

Not as many of the hot pink because I wasn't trying to get every possible view of the windmills! Just the color.

Hope you enjoyed!

[FrekeChild]

Thanks everyone! Sorry to post and run earlier - my only down time was used taking pictures! Hah! These are two of my most favorite stones that haven't been set, and I had been keeping them from you! SHAME ON ME! So I had to finally share. I'm glad you like them!

The asscher is currently up on my list for being set, but I'm going to see if the jeweler can do it within budget, otherwise it'll just have to wait.

I wanted to try to find a secondhand setting for the hot pink but 6x7 is not common for a width/length proportion, so it's waiting unless one magically falls in my lap! If it doesn't by the time I'm ready to set it, it'll likely need something custom too.

SIGH.......

Sweet and hot respectively. If the 6 x 7 mm is too problematic for you to set, just send it my way and I'll set and wear it for you.

Oh my gosh the lavender asscher is to die for! Such an amazing combination of soft colour and dazzle! I adore that shape so much, I HAVE to have one. Two very amazing finds you have there

 

[Enerchi]

How do you do it, Freke?? you are like a jedi master/ obi wan kenobi of all things STUNNING in "Spinel-land"!!! I am humbled by your finds --- everything you post is out of this world amazing!!

I could only dream of owning that stunning asscher!! Its GORGEOUS!!! Oh please set that one next!!!

 

[RTFrog]

That's a very lovely Asscher Spinel from Peter, FrekeChild! Nice hot pink color too on Tan's.

 

[FrekeChild]

Funny you should say that Enerchi! I might have met with the jeweler about it today...

You "might" have, huh???

Well if this was a potential "maybe" setting sketch... I'd say ---- GO FOR IT!! Its Gorgeous!! (and when you go to sell, can I buy it from you?? )

Baguettes? EC's? WG? hmmm... my heart is beating a little faster just thinking about it!

It's a maybe. He's looking into it and doing his own sketches.

It's all about the Benjamins baby! Or in my case, the Andrew Jacksons....

Not going to sell this one. It makes my little black heart pitter patter.

I just bet you would!

When is your oval going to be done already? I need more Chrono bling in my life!

Thank you! Everyone should have asschers in their lives. I have WAY TOO MANY rounds, so I'm doing everything I can to reach outside my comfort zone!!!!
