This beauty used to belong to another PSer, but I was lucky enough to buy it off of her! And I LOVE it!
It's 2.54ct, 9x7mm supernova malaya garnet that is a beautiful salmon-pink/coral/champagne color.

Lots of photos coming up!

Last ones,
I took some photos of the new garnet with some of my old garnets! Another imperial malaya in a ring, 2 other loose round malayas, and one mint garnet.

Thanks for looking, and I'm open to setting ideas!

Oh my Goodness, what a beautiful stone !!!! :love: :love: :love:
You got such GREAT photos of the facets !!! Nice !
i don't have a Malaya, I have read that they are very sparkly !

I stink at setting ideas, but I will say this...
I know you will pick something unique and lovely !!!

(In the group photo, all I can see is that divine GREEEEEENNNNN .......)
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Such a beautiful color! But what I love most is the almost metallic glint that your camera picks up from it. I love that sooo much. Congrats on your stone. I think it looks really beautiful with all the different stones but I particularly like it with green.
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

That is so pretty! I love the color!
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

It's beautiful. I actually have a cousin of your stone. A 1.97 supernova oval from back when he had a few of those. I love mine but have no idea what to do with it. have you gotten it under fluorescent light yet? They turn apricot. Well mine does so I'm sure yours will too.

Enjoy your new stone!
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Sigh.

I love that stone. I'm so happy it went to a good home. With many beautiful playmates. :D
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Thanks everyone.

As of now it's going to go into this setting, I just can't decide on which gold color...

Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Your stone is a nice color and you KNOW I like the cut :appl: I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures when you have it set.
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Mmm, looks like cotton candy! I'd probably keep it in white gold. I think rose and yellow would both overwhelm the delicate color of the stone.
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Your supernova has beautiful color!! Gorgeous gems!!!
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Thanks!

Right now I"m thinking either 14k white or 14k yellow. I would love any input as I'm putting the order in later today!
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Yummy. :)
 
Re: Old Stone, New Pics! Barry Supernova Imperial Malaya Gar

Oh my gosh, the cut on that makes me nuts with admiration. Color is WOW. This is no help but I think it would look great in either white or yellow gold -- white would be nice & crisp, yellow would make for a rich look.

Your other stones are knockouts! Such a great rainbow, and the mint garnet, ooohh.
