Emerald-cut sapphire suite

[Harriet]

The darn camera has no macro, sweetie.

 

[Miranda]

Does anybody here want to join me in beginning a fund for Harriet''s new camera WITH macro?

And photography lessons! Seriously girl, you are on your way (if not there already) to having one of the most amazing PS gem collections. We need PICS!!!!

 

[Linda W]

ha ha ha ha ha, I''ll second that. Harriet, tell your SO to get you a new camera and HE can take pictures of your beautiful treasures.

 

[Harriet]

Rocks,
I'm afraid I agree. The spess is pure orange, so I don't want to detract from it with yellow. My dealer is looking for hot pink sapphire or spinel (tall order). If he can't find it, white it shall be.
P.S. Are you tempted by your friend's bracelet?

 

[Harriet]

Aw, Miranda and Linda, how sweet of you. But it's really difficult to photograph gems. Colormyworld says he'll do mine if I send them to him. Nice try! Can someone in New York help me?

PS. You can chide Green too. She was over, but didn't offer to take any pics. She did take me out for my birthday though. Thanks, sweetie!

I wish I was in NY to ogle... ummm I mean take photos of your rings. And watch you tell off snooty Tiff''s sales associates

harriet,
in a word...yes...i LOVE the bracelet. that said, one thing at a time. i alread have several line bracelets. as for the hot pink melee...they do exist in sapphire, but are hard to find. and even harder to match for color and cut. the orange yellow combo is kind of nice if you use 18kt or 21kt yellow gold...

 

[Harriet]

I'll play around with some yellow melee, if Leon will let me. I wish I could show you the spessartite. It's electric.

Miranda, Linda, icekid,
Didn't I post a bunch of pics recently?

I''ll third that. Hell, I''ll even pitch in all the change I can scrounge from underneath the cushions.

 

[Linda W]

LOL, yep, me too Ellen.

 

[Harriet]

I repeat - didn''t I just do an entire photoshoot?

 

[Green with Envy]

What photos? You did not have this sapphire bunch when I was in NYC... but you can bring them all out here to LA when you visit and play with them at the beach while I shoot pics!

 

[diamondfan]

I just bought a Nikon P80 Coolpix with 18x optical zoom and 10.1 megapixels. Supposed to be an awesome camera. GET ONE. The natives are restless here.

Of what?

 

[Harriet]

Green dear,
Sounds fun.

Diamondfan,
Is the camera idiotproof?

El,
Of my spessartite and a couple of my tsavorites. I''ll bump up the thread as proof.

 

[Ellen]

Ok, yes, you did photograph those stones. But my dear, that''s hardly going to appease us when we KNOW you have beautiful, actual jewelry pieces in your possession.

Like I said, get the point and shoot.

 

[Linda W]

LOL Ellen!!!

Yes Harriet. Don''t you have a nice neighbor that can take photos . You have SO Many nice pieces we would LOVE to see. Do I have to come to New York to see everything???

Linda

 

[Harriet]

But I only have one set gem piece (excluding my studs, which I''ve already photographed). Leon has my spinel but is only working on one project at a time.

That''s ok, we''ll wait.

 

[Linda W]

That''s right we did see your studs. No more harassing you then. Well...... maybe.....

 

[Harriet]

Yes, so I can see you too.

 

[Miranda]

OK Miss Harriet. If you are headed to LA and Green can''t do a photo shoot you just let me know and I''ll be right there with my dad''s professional camera!

 

[Harriet]

Miranda, you''re in LA too? Then I really have to visit Green (she''s supposed to take me to Animal Kingdom). Is Linda there too?

 

[Linda W]

Harriet, I am in Northern California. One hour out of San Francisco.

Linda

 

[diamondfan]

Looks fairly user friendly to me but I am not sure. I just ordered it yesterday. Has great features though and with the 4 gig fast memory card, the 5 hour rechargeable battery and some other items was under 700.00. I priced the camera itself without accessories from 275.00 to 400.00 so there is a range. Got great write ups. I have a 7 something mega pixel 12x optical zoom now so this is going to be a vast improvement!

 

[Harriet]

Linda,
Darn.

DF,
Let me know how well the camera works.

 

[Miranda]

I''m an hour south of LA. Pardon my ignorance, but, what''s Animal Kingdom?

 

[Harriet]

I think I got the name wrong. It''s some animal park where the animals roam free.

The San Diego Wild Animal Park?????

 

[Harriet]

Maybe. Green''s not entirely clear either.
