Peridot!

Post#1 @ 11-12-04 , 01:48 PM

I bought this emerald cut peridot pendant yesterday - the color is so vivid, it reminds me of a piece of apple candy!

Plus it's nice to have some green now that all the leaves are brown and gold!

I just wish I had a better camera to pick up the details of it - it's a lot prettier in person, but you can see the color of it even though the picture is a little blurry.

Very pretty!

I use an Olympus C-730 with 10x analogue zoom and 3.2 megapixels. About 3 years old.

Macro mode and a white pillow case as a background.

These earrings were taken in sunlight, but I do have two high colour-rendering compact fluorescent lights ($16 a bulb) for night-time sessions. I also usually use a tripod so that the images aren't blurry and jittery.
