My 2nd gemstone purchase....

You did well, sugarloafs are really cool, both fashion wise and generally as cuts!!!

re: sugarloaf cut: or mebbe i'm wrong? i was pretty sure my stone is a modified cushion cut cabochon ('cuz mine is more squared off and doesn't have the lil' pointed top that seems to be a hallmark of the sugarloaf cut). am i wrong???

I love that style of ring with sugarloaf cabs. Above are some other PS’ers past projects based on the same as yours.

I always loved/lusted after them. Heavily.






I’m relieved that the sugarloaf rings I posted above cannot aid, abet, rationalize and justify my feelings.

You literally just jerked a guffaw outta me.

re: sugarloaf rings: those are gorgeous! but my "sugar stacks" ring is technically a cushion cut cabochon. i would LOVE to know more about THOSE rings, however. where did ya get 'em?
and are the stones peridot, pink sapphire, and amethyst? spill!

The spinel and tsavorite belongs to PS’er megeve
The amethyst belongs to PS’er vc10um
I don’t know if they still are active here or not.
But they are perfectly simple perfection.

It's all good, best believe. I'm not going anywhere.

Just wait until @kenny finds out about you, I might get some peace and quiet for once

Sorry, just a little running joke on the forum amongst many of us members.

The banter on the end of the first page of this thread and onwards might explain it a little better...

For the millionth time, "manipulating" pics can be good or bad

As I've posted many times over the last 15+ years ... There is noting sacred, superior, pure, better, right, correct, or "honest" about what comes directly out of a camera - a cheap camera or the best money can buy. Manipulating aka post-processing, Photoshopping, correcting, is usually...

I was thinking the same thing, you can lead him down the path of opal buying, I can of spinel buying, and @kenny & @Dancing Fire can generally lead him astray
