Some pics of my unset Aqua.

[Ellen]

I took a bunch of pics before setting, it was so much fun to shoot a nekkie stone.

Anyhow, I thought some of you gem lovers might like to see them. In no particular order.

In some sugar under my bedroom lamp with yellowish lighting. Hence, the green!

Booty shot.

This one reminded me of a neon sign going out.

Please forgive the water spots.

Way Kewl!

That stone is lovely. Aquas are one of my faves.

Where did you get the stone?

 

[Ellen]

This one is just for the colors. If you really look, there are so many different shades of pink, green, and blue.

How about a handshot for a sense of "scale"?

Lovin'' the pics though, that last one almost belongs in the fire thread!

 

[Ellen]

This one looks like it''s ready to combust.

 

[Ellen]

Love this.

That''s such a gorgeous stone, Ellen. Recutting was definitely the right choice, look at all the personality it brought out!
I don''t know if I ever commented in your SMTR thread, but it''s a beautiful ring too. Enjoy!

[Ellen]

This is one of my absolute faves. So beautiful.

 

[Anastasia]

That is absolutely the money shot, right there! WOW!

 

[Ellen]

I dropped this, and it landed so deeply, that the sugar looks like it''s right under the top of the stone!

 

[Ellen]

This one looks neat.

 

[Ellen]

This gives an idea of how bright this thing can light up. It''s sitting on my kitchen table, facing a window where it''s cloudy out, and just the overhead light on it.

 

[Ellen]

This one turned out cool.

 

[Ellen]

Last one.

This was the only one like this, strange.

 

[Ellen]

Lost and Anastasia, I'll give you this link, it explains about the stone, and it's already been set. And thank you!
