Halloween theme...

[Arkteia]

So I ordered a Transformer's costume for my kid and promptly got this box...

 

[Arkteia]

So this box was standing in my office for two or three days, me thinking, OK, I shall take it home for the Halloween...
Then came my oldest son came over and said, "Mom, you probably should open it... there are few boxes waiting for you".
OK, said I, I know what is in the other boxes, let me look at Optimus prime...
So out comes a smaller box...

 

[Arkteia]

Then a package...

 

[Arkteia]

My son is giggling...

 

[Arkteia]

And...

Happy Halloween, Ma! Great costume!

 

[Arkteia]

OK, it is 9:30 PM, I have a camera at my office but it is late and the light is not good so I could not capture the colors... It is very candy-ish. Yes, I ordered this spinel several days ago but then I got overexcited because of the stuff that I won at the auction and some other thngs... not that I forgot about it, it just did not matter that much.

 

[Arkteia]

So the light is bad, and I am not using a tripod, just making a few clicks...I do not know what you'll see there.

Crasru, I don't want to be a scaremonger, but I notice the address on your package could (?) be read - perhaps you know this anyway

Beautiful! -I hope my halloween is as fruitful as yours and I look forward to seeing your daylight photos

 

[Arkteia]

I have no clue why this guy did not give the measurements... They will make dainty earrings, and for some weird reason, I love trilliant cuts, only they are hard to find. I shall try to get a better picture, this guy has a terrific return policy, even with my "halloweening" for three days I have ample time to think it over. Still, I would like to get your input. Tomorrow, weather permitting.
It is very pink and (luckily! finally!) has no extinction.

Oh, cr.p... I am blind as a bat in the evening, not wearing eyeglasses... of course I do not see that the address can be read! Perhaps the mods can do something about it?

Maybe you can do something with the edit function or email the mods

The photo in question has been removed for you.

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you, Ella! As usual, you are very helpful.

And thank you, klewis, for bringing the "transparency" of my whereabouts to my attention.

 

[that_someone_special]

Awesome! I really love my UPS guy too...

 

[Lovinggems]

Lovely pair of trillions and a cute story.

 

[Gempassion]

Beautiful trillans crasru!

 

[chictomato]

Interesting These will make a fine pair of earring! Looking forward to more updates!

 

[Arkteia]

I made some daytime photos but now I have to recharge my camera to post them. It is a good day for spinel and spessies and a horrible one for my alexandrite which seems to need Florida sun to show its true green!

 

[T L]

How pretty. Don't you just love those "special" packages??

 

[Arkteia]

OK here are some daytime photos... the day was very bad, and later it started raining, as usual. But I do not expect anything better and after all, everything I buy I am going to wear in our weather, so...

 

[Arkteia]

another ne

 

[Arkteia]

so feel free to tell me whether you like it, don't like it, whether I could have done better... Tan's pink spinel is a rare commodity, and prices are up, too.

 

[Arkteia]

this guy has fantastic return policy

 

[Arkteia]

and this is my Optimus Prime! Yes, we got the costume, too!

 

[Largosmom]

Like the stones, they will make nice earrings!

Love the costume...

 

[innerkitten]

Pretty trillions! What are the stats? How will they be set?

I love your sons outfit as well. My daughter is going as a mix of a few different things. She couldn't decide on one and kept changing her mind. She's going to be a pink haired witch fairy creature.

 

[LD]

Very pretty. Is one of the trillions slightly darker than the other or is that just a trick of the light? If so, it's only slight in any case so earrings would be a great idea. If you were going to use them in a pendant I would have suggested putting another gem inbetween if they are slightly different.

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you, Bean, Lovinggems, Gempassion and Chictomato! Thank you, TL! Thank you, Largosmom! Innerkitten - isn't Halloween fun? LD- no, the color is the same, they appear to be cut out of the same piece I think it is just the play of color. They also look included, but they are VS1. So it is just my photography. It is just difficult to take photos of trilliants!

 

[Kismet]

The trillions are beautiful! I love that pink color. However, I think they'll make you a very skimpy Halloween costume so you better not post pictures of that or at least not on this forum.

Those spinels are really pretty and the colour is HOT! These are from Tan? WOW!

Your Optimus Prime costume is awesome and the model looks cute! Ahem….I mean, tough.
