Mail Bag (P.s) how do you post more then one pic in a reply??

 

[mercoledi]

You tease!

The only way to post more than one pic/post is to upload them to the gallery first (which also apparently doesn''t have a size limit), and them link to them in your post.

Now make with the piccies!

[FrekeChild]

So....what are you going to do with it?

 

[ma re]

Which colors do you see in it besides various shades of red? I don''t see much else from the photos, so wanted to check is the bicolor effect pronounced or not.

Well that''s where I need all your wonderful help on!
I want it as a ring!
and I want WHITE (nahh no yellow any more) gold.
I believe I want side stones! But that is where I am at, at the moment! Please Throw ideas at me!
I like this... but with diamond marquises or yellow sapphires?? Will yellow sapphires, look terrible next to this? And I think 4 diamond marquise sides will be out of the budget.

But to cut cost, prob just have one brilliant melee diamond at top

 

[lasscreative]

terrible photoshopping skills here lol!!

You can cut cost by using white gold, or even better palladium, and have more diamonds if that''s what you like. Yellow sapphires will look very good, don''t worry. In fact, diamonds might even turn out to be overly brilliant, and finding 4 matched yellows in that shape is really hard. You can even choose the right shade of sapphires that would best complement the stone; a warmer orangy yellow, or more fresh greenish yellow.

Its like what you see in the vendor pics, its just a smidge of yellow in one corner

 

[bling addict]

Yay! New photos!

The stone looks very cool! I think it would look great with yellow sapphires!

(your housemate sounds annoying

)

 

[mercoledi]

It''s so pretty and unique! How is it in sunlight? A pink fireball? That is a very cool stone, and it is lucky to have a mom that loves it for exactly what it is.

I like your setting idea too; maybe there''s another yellow stone that you could use? Yellow tourmaline marquises? I also prefer it with just one diamond on the side; why detract from your MASSIVE pink and yellow octagonal step cut!

In that case it might be best to orientate the yellow part on top or at the bottom I believe. Although you could have it on a side and have yellow sapphires on that side, and pink on the other (just a thought).

Beautiful stone - I''m sure the compliments and comments will pour in once it''s set in a ring and you can show it off!

 

[cushioncutnut]

Wow...that stone is going to be a great conversation piece once it is set! Beautiful!
