this ones out of focus, but what the hey

can you spot the two unset stones?

lauren, the asscher is a light tanzanite, sorry i don't have an individual photo of it.

 

[rosetta]

how do i get the pics smaller?

It depends on what computer/software you have.

Also a potential confusion is size can mean two different things to both computer software and the humans using it:
1. How physically large a pic appears on screen
2. How much memory the file consumes

If you have a mac and iPhoto I can help you.
If not someone else who knows what your software names the two things above must help you.

Here's how to control size if you have a mac and iPhoto:

In iPhoto, with the pic open go go File, Export...
Kind: PNG (this is a format which is not compressed, like JPG is, so it may appear more clear.)
Size: CUSTOM Max dimension 800 px (this is my preference you may prefer larger or smaller or want to spec horiz or vert size)
Then click "EXPORT"
Name the file and tell it where you want the system to place it.

Also our screens are larger horizontally than vertically so when possible (as in your first two pics) rotate the pics so they are horizontal not vertical.

thanks kenny, i don't have a mac though.

as for the pics, my hand is too unsteady without a tripod and the macro focus on my camera is rubbish.

all my spare cash is going on sparklies, so no new camera on the horizon

What a wonderful collection.

Very nice collection. I really love the delicate, but pure pink of the pear spinel on the bottom of your first photo.

 

[Aoife]

Rosetta, those are really lovely, thanks for sharing.

 

[virgoruby]

What a lovely collection - my favourites are the pear pink spinel & Osiris gems's amethyst in 'liquid flower' design (& well done for coming up with such a lovely name ).

 

[rosetta]

thank you all for your kind words. ALL my stones are courtesy of the knowledge and advice of fellow stone lovers on this forum, so thanks again.

i will continue to work on my photos, and will be back to share more later on!
