Woo, my brooch is currently in queue for being set. 
I have pictures of the stones but the photos are bad quality so I haven’t put pictures up.
This post has won an Annie Award for being the most pointless. 
[edit @23:03] Oh and many thanks goes to Bali for supplying the stones. Now, if only I remembered the names of the gemstones. Let’s see…
- Pink sapphire
- Green emerald
- Tourmaline (greens and orange/yellows)
Gah, I can’t remember the others - that’ll bug me until no end. I’ll go find them out, my manager will know.
Thanks should also go out to Alan, who is going to set my stone despite have tons of other repairs to do. A final special thank you goes to my manager, Andrew for sponsoring the stones (if it weren’t for him the brooch would still be bare, heh). Thank you all very much!
Okay, this is beginning to sound like an award speech. Annie out. [/edit]

I love saphires and emeralds and rubies and gems! Damnit I want a pretty broach too!!
Annie: I was like a kid in a sweet shop when I saw the gemstones Bali had. Absolutely beautiful stones.

That sounds like a pretty brooch!
Annie: My brooch looks beautiful with the stones. I’ll be sure to put a photo up when it’s been set.

Annie: Will do, when I get my brooch back.

I’d love to view pictures of your creation too, especially with all those colourful gemstones. (: (S’okay, I have trouble naming the various stones as well! Heh.)
I used to make earrings a couple of years ago but eventually lost the interest.
Annie: Ooo, that’s nice. Do you have any pictures of them?
