Yay garnets! Really chrono, you should start setting these beauties! They look great on your hand!

 

[megeve]

Wow, what gorgeous stones you have! and its not even all yet! Can''t wait to see the others!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Chrono, your pics are AWESOME!!!!! You have me drooling during my morning coffee!

 

[packrat]

So beautiful! Do you have plans for any of them?

 

[chrono]

I haven''t any plans to set anything yet other than the largest cobalt which is at my jeweller''s right now. I still need to find the right setting for my tsavorite which is just begging to be worn.

 

[Linda W]

Chrono, your pictures are sooooooooooooo beautiful. What a collection you have.

 

[bookworm240]

Chrono!!! Oh I love those stones!! I remember loving the mint before. Linda congrats on your gift!! Can''t wait to see the final setting.

 

[tsavvy]

What fun to see some of your stones

The mint garnet is gorgeous -- I love the color. Your spinel is yummy, too! Are you setting the larger cobalt in the LOGR setting? Hopefully there will be more pictures...

 

[chrono]

My first LOGR; showing how it looks on the hand.

 

[chrono]

A close up of the design. This one is for the larger cobalt.

I’m so happy to successfully be able to take pictures of my Mozambique Paraiba or cuprian for the purists.

 

[chrono]

The darn stone wouldn’t keep still because it’s a trillion with rounded sides.

 

[chrono]

And another.

 

[chrono]

Last "naked" shot.

 

[chrono]

I thought sticking into a setting might help with photographing it.

 

[chrono]

It still didn’t want to keep still because the setting is for an oval. The stone kept tilting in the setting so you can see the window tilt.

 

[chrono]

It’s pretty hard to take pictures with just one hand so please excuse the blurry photography.

 

[chrono]

Last picture of the Mozambique cuprian. This is the most balanced picture where I was able to capture the faceting. I bought this one in 2007 (I think) from Gene of Precision Gem.

 

[Arcadian]

Thats quite the stone Chrono! Looks good in the setting as well. Do you ever plan on setting it?

Trillion stones are quite a challenge to find the right setting; they are either to plain or too contemporary. I’ve been wanting to set it for the longest time but have not found the right setting.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

I like trillions, but I agree that I see few trillion settings that I like

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Love all the pics, all of the stones are beautiful. I can''t decide which one I like best.

 

[Lovinggems]

Woh the paraiba is glowy.

 

[klewis]

Chrono, that Mozambique cuprian looks beautiful. Bring on the Tsavorite!

 

[CharmyPoo]

Gorgeous stones. I love them all. That mint garnet is super yummy.

 

[Lorelei]

Your collection is so beautiful Chrono, you have exquisite taste!

I think setting this beauty should be your next full time project!

Arcadian, MTG, LtlFC, LG, Klewis, Charmy, Lorelei and Kribble,
Thanks for looking and the kind comments. Tsavorite pictures coming up as requested.

 

[chrono]

I was feeling rather cheeky and decided to stick the stone on the LOGR setting.
