Congratulations on the new diamond and on your very pretty set! Yes, we must all do our patriotic duty, and keep this economy moving.

I''ve been considering setting a new diamond with ruby and sapphire side-stones, but I''m thinking that may be making my patriotism too obvious!

I think your idea to set your new diamond sounds perfect

Or you could have two sapphires as side stones with a ruby as a suprise stone

I can't figure out how to quote multiple posts

Please excuse me for not thanking you all in individual posts. I was afraid I was getting a bit verbose!! I so appreciate you taking the time to tell me how much you

my ring. I

you too!!

With special thanks to:

Gorgeous Risingsun..you KNOW I''ve always loved your set..it''s the same I guess..it just grew overnight!!

 

[kcoursolle]

Oh Risingsun, I am so happy for you! What a gorgeous new stone, truly a knockout!! It looks stunning on your hand, really incredible, but well-proportioned! So this is what a 1.6 stone would look like on me..... we have similarly sized hands LOL!

It''s beautiful!!! Absolutely gorgeous.

[risingsun]

Thank you so much to my PS friends Beau, kcoursolle, bee*, IndyGirl, marcyc and chiquitapet

. I had a much better idea of how to go about doing things the second time around. Not that I wasn't a bundle of nerves, along the way. I bought the diamond yesterday and walked out with it on my finger by the end of the day...of course a lot went into making that happen

I've had a request for more pics. I can't capture the fire shots, so if anyone has some ideas for pics, let me know

 

[MissGotRocks]

Just turn off the flash and use macro. We''re not particular - you were doing fine this morning until you quit!

Seriously, we''ll be happy to look at any you can take - the ring is stunning!

That''s what I''m doing

I will practice and get more pics tomorrow. My camera is acting peculiar--it''s turning itself off while I''m trying to shoot. I fed it fully charged batteries, so I don''t know what''s ailing it

 

[MissGotRocks]

I''m no great shakes as a photographer either but in the end I''m not sure it matters. As long as they are relatively clear and in focus, folks get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. I don''t think any picture ever really captures what the eye sees though - the sparklies are hard to capture!

No matter - we''ll be looking forward to seeing your pics. The ones you took today were really good!
