Have the pics. . .

[fansynancy]

of my 3.29 carat RB in the Memoire Purity Collection 2 carat enagement ring setting. Unfortunately I can''t post them. I am having trouble.

 

[Maisie]

If you forward them on to the PS Admin I think he will post them for you

 

[erica k]

that sounds like a good plan, maisie. otherwise, you would probably have to size them down in order to upload them. it''s a bit of a pain.

and yes, i am writing this while at the library.

but nancy, you''ve forgotten to mention the most important thing: do you love it?

 

[fansynancy]

Erica-

I''m not sure. The pic is so HUGE that I can see the inclusions. I know when I see it in person I won''t be able to see them. I did size the pics down in paint, but the huge image is kind of stuck in my head right now.

 

[hearts-arrows_girl]

I would love to see the photos!

 

[fansynancy]

I''m sorry I can''t get it to work. I''ll get the ring tomorrow and take pictures. Then I can cut and paste them here. I am having a vvery frustrating time of it. Took forever to get the pics and now I can''t post them. Something must be wrong with me. I am already looking for a smaller, cleaner stone.

 

[mrssalvo]

here''s a great thread on how to post pics (unless you have a mac, in which case I''d be happy to give you the instructions on how to size them down so they are smaller and can upload easily)

it''s incredible how these high-definition huge photos of our rings can really distort our conception of them. i know your stone is much larger than my baby .52 ct F-SI2, but i really believe your ACA will sparkle and amaze in real life. my stone is definitely not eye-clean, in fact, it has a dark ''critter'' that faces up in the middle of the table. but it''s extremely well cut and scintillates with the best of them.

even when i look at macro pics of my eternity band i''m surprised by how big the prongs look compared to the melee. in real life they are perfectly-sized little beads and all i can focus on are my super sparkly stones.

i think big macro pics are especially helpful for looking at possible design flaws/ inconsistencies. i love taking photos of my rings because i''m obsessed with capturing the arrows on camera, but these images can never substitute for the real thing.

i hope you love your ring when you finally see it in person. after all this hard work, you deserve a happy end result! and if it really bothers you, i''m sure something can be worked out with WF.

biting my nails, hoping for the best...

i know you probably don''t want to hear this, but there''s no good in building up negative thoughts about something you haven''t seen yet.

on the flip side, there''s nothing wrong with knowing what you want and going for it. if, after you''ve seen the ring and sat with it for a while, you want a smaller, cleaner stone, then there''s no reason to not exchange it.

maybe you should take a break from PS, hang out with your lovely family, enjoy the rest of the day, and then post at your leisure tomorrow or whenever.

i am really hoping that you are happy with your new ring. it''s all about a healthy and positive process to a great outcome.

 

[lyra]

Is it bad that my breath caught in my throat when I read that you weren''t able to actually show the pics?

Can''t wait to see them when you get it figured out!

 

[fansynancy]

I e-mailed the pics to the moderator and asked her to post them, but I think she would prefer I do it myself. Unfortunately I have t ried unsuccessfully 10 times.

 

[Lynn B]

OK, Nancy, you are killing me over here... I am DYING to see that diamond!!! And I think it will be STUNNING and totally eyeclean. But if you are serious about trading for a smaller, totally eyeclean stone, hey, I''ll swap you!

I don''t know if you saw my recent posts; after being sent HUGE magnified pics of my wedding band from WF, I flipped out. I almost had them remake the band before I even saw the ring. In real life, however, the band is absolutely perfect. I say don''t worry about what the pictures look like - wait until you get the ring. Seriously, it''s not worth stressing about until you actually see it. (Next time I order something from WF, and I definitely will in the future, I don''t know if I even want to see the magnified pictures they typically send out).

I''m sure the ring will be perfect!

THAT'S SUCH A TEASE!!

It would definitely be easier for you to learn to do it yourself.... that way you can post loads of photos of your ring in different lighting and places

Did you look at the thread Mrssalvo posted?

Did you try following this thread? http://www.pricescope.com/forum/faq1/how-to-upload-reduce-pictures-for-posting-t41381.html

What software does the picture open in? I will try to help if I can by walking you through what to do.

The administrator''s name is Andrey and he''s definitely not a she. Maybe, just maybe if you apologizied, he''d be very kind and post for you

Then, when the pressure is off, you can practise with the rest of us

I still have probs posting pics on this site: they''re either too small, too large or too contorted

 

[psadmin]

Hi Fancy,

sorry I was just very busy today, but I also try to help people learn how to do it, so they can do it freely.

Here are your pics.

What a gorgeous ring!!!!!

Linda

 

[psadmin]

last one. Very Nice Ring.

 

[door knob solitaire]

WOWee!! I love it! Can''t wait for hand shots! Can you tell us the stone size in the band? I really love the scale. Will you wear a band? If so what have you decided on? That baby can ride all by itself! The stones looks really secure. Now that you have it in front of you do you also find them secure set that way?

Thanks for sharing...but we need more than two. We have quite an appetite!!!

DKS

 

[ang3199]

Gorgeous gorgeous!

 

[anchor31]

YUMMY!

Congrats!

 

[lyra]

WOWZA!!!

It''s just gorgeous. I love the setting. Can''t wait to see hand pics.

 

[Miranda]

Oh fansynancy (have you read that children''s book, by the way?) your ring and stone are beautiful! I mean, really, really, gorgeous!!!!! I hope you don''t worry for a second about it! I think it is perfection!

If you are still having trouble with the pics and happen to be in the so cal area, give me the ring and I''ll be happy to post for ya

.

I can''t wait for hand shots! Is this an upgrade or a new engagement? Either way, congratulations!

Huge image indeed.....OF A GORGEOUS DIAMOND! THAT is an SI2???


Nancy, seriously, that stone is beautiful, even at, whatever it''s magnified to. What, maybe 1000 x??

Give it time. It''s worthy.

And we will be waiting for more, much more.......

 

[fansynancy]

I''m sorry if I offended the powers that be at Pricescope. I assumed that Ali was a girl (like Alison). I tried for 3 hours to post a pic and so did my husband. I really am a do it yourself kind of gal, but I really wanted to show the darn ring.

I''m glad you all like the ring. I think the stone looks pretty yellow in one of the pictures and the inclusions were huge in the ginormous picture that Quest sent. It scared the heck out of me. I''ll pick up the ring tomorrow. I did speak with WF. My rep Sheerah thinks I''ll love it in person. I have seen the stone and I did think it was beautiful.

 

[sera]

WOW that is one STUNNING ring!!!! I LOVE that band!
