A spessartite from Gene at Precisiongem

Yeah, just a bit of sunshine in the dark.

I had noticed this stone for MONTHS on Gene''s site, so I''m thrilled to finally see your pics! I know exactly what you mean about taking some time to fall in love with garnets - it was the same way for me and my red spess. Not love at first sight (even contemplated returning it), but after a few days, it''s one of my favorites.

Your stone woud make an absolutely gorgeous pendant - just eye-popping! Keep the pics coming, I''d love to see more.

That spess is difinitely a keeper. Lovely. I can''t wait to see it in a setting.

Great pics. I really love the contrast against the green!!

 

[sleepyspinel]

This too is my favorite shot of that fantastic stone. I had been looking at it for a LONG time as well

I think I like these the best.

It's huge, it's well coloured and well cut; what else can one ask for? I actually like the guitar picture but that's the music lover in me speaking.

I can tell it's going to look awesome in high karat gold.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Oh YUM! I think it''d make a really eye catching and unique pendant!

A very lively stone MT, can''t wait to see how you set it.

Thank you Cellentani, you checked it out too? So fun to hear about your experience with your red spess. I''m the same with heavy metal songs they take forever to grow on me, but then I love them ever after. When I have this one set, I''m sure I will wear it a lot. I appreciate my gems most when I wear them, the fear of losing them when I''m handling them loose never leaves me, unless they are enormous.

Me as well, every time sure that it had gone to someone else.

Teehee, Chrono! It looked so comfy there on the guitar, I was just afraid to loose it inside the damn thing.

Oh YUM! I think it''d make a really eye catching and unique pendant!

Yeah, I can just imagine how it will twinkle out, contrasting the color of my shirt since I rarely wear orange.

i think the purpose of orange is to be unique and eye catching......
i don''t wear orange but, obviously, that has never bothered me as i have my spess e-ring.
i think you''re going to really enjoy this one!

[mariedtiger]

Oh no, MZ! You''re making me want to set this one now and I''ve promised to be good for at least another month! But I think I will love it too. Orange is interesting since it has more "light" than any red, yet more of a punch than any yellow. So it does attract attention. Mmmm, maybe I will even get some response from my more quiet countrymen when I wear this one...

 

[marcy]

Very pretty.

 

[princessplease]

Wow, what an amazing cut and color!!!!!!!!

 

[babydoll_mini]

Oh I saw this stone on Gene''s site and I hesitated for a day or two because I already got one with the exactly same cutting pattern.
and now I so regret!

But hey congratulations, I know it must spark like crazy IRL
I must be more determistic next time

 

[blithesome71]

Wow! Your spess is superb. God it''s sooo beautiful

 

[mariedtiger]

Thank you Marcy and Princessplease!

MT,

Great stone. You can definitely see it''s orange!! I can''t wait to see what you are going to do with it, as you have such great taste in jewelry design. I know you live in a place where the sun doesn''t shine much, but if you can get some sunshine pics, that would be awesome!!

For you TL

 

[mariedtiger]

With a friend...
