zowie! Your avatar doesn''t do it justice!

I say go simple setting and make it POW!

 

[icekid]

wow... your photos are much better than the cutter photo. Absolutely gorgeous. I love love that silky glow. Can we request more photos if/when your job settles down?

It sure does glow! The avatar did not do this beauty justice! It is so much prettier IRL!! GORGEOUS!!

 

[mercoledi]

Yay! What a lovely glowing candy pink! Your av picture just doesn''t suffice!

 

[geckodani]

Wowee! Now that is PINK! Love it!

Ditto TG''s comment! You should replace your av with your final shot (crop it first of course)

You know, I loaded your final shot on my laptop screen, then wheeled myself away for about 4 feet. Guess what, that neon pink is glowing on screen and almost is jumping out!

Thank you all for the kind words!

I am very much in love with Pinky (hey, it named itself - Pinky popped up in my mind the first time I saw Dan''s picture

). Unfortunately, my budget is way shot for pretty much the entire year. So either I go with a LoGR or equivalent setting or I wait for a long time...

I think this setting (adapted to hold the EC) would work nicely.

 

[Linda W]

YES!!!!! Love that setting. It is classy, beautiful and lets your gorgeous spinel be the star. It will POP in that setting.. I

it.

Pinky is a very social stone. She looks her best outside her box, in someone''s hands. When I first saw her, in the box, I was distinctly underwhelmed: she looked dull, dark and lifeless. However, once outside and receiving the proper amount of light, she just came to life and wowed everyone (even my BF, who doesn''t really care about gems, was impressed). So, first lesson: absolutely no bezels! The setting must let as much light as possible in.

I love Pinky.

Much better av picture for pinkie!

 

[Gailey]

Wow! she looks positively radioactive - gorgeous Lady_Disdain!

You''re right about Jason, he has a huge reputation over at GO. In fact he has just posted a killer tourmaline that he''s cut - he sure is getting good at it! And same here - no affiliation. I hope you don''t mind me posting a picture on your thread, but I think we need to shout out for Jason!

OMG Gailey, that is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
