The sheen turned bright scarlet, then tender pink shining with snow reflections. Explanation: Is it still 'tremblisg scarlet'? 'Snezhnyh granyah' seems somewhat artificial - I'd leave just snow without any 'facets'. But you can use 'snow facets' to stick to the original. So, it'd be 'shining with reflections on snow facets'. |

The reflections turned crimson, then a tender purple, and fell upon the snowy planes Explanation: Just a question of semantics and personal preferences, but I feel the "otsvety" should be translated as "reflections" to lead off the sentence, then somehow be shown to either fall or dance ("otrazilis") upon the snowy "granyakh." My two cents. |

the gleam became red, then soft purple and a reflection in the snowy facets Explanation: If we are talking about DIAMONDS or precious shinning stones then the word "facets" is OK. Trudno, no interestno |
