My Emerald Stone Images

[kevinraja]

Alright, finally I figured out a way to take the pics of my EC stone which I purchased recently. I had to use the idealscope lens to take the close-up pics. Two of the pics show the main inclusions, I have used red/black arrows to indiciate. They are just off the table.

All other inclusion-like particles you see are DIRT. I couldn''t compeltely clean them. If I use a cloth, the cloth fabric gets stuck to the stone. Anyway here they are.

kevin its a beauty--the shape is gorgeous and the faceting loks very sharp and..endlesss. nice!

 

[kevinraja]

Thanks WS. I just wish I could take the pics without the dust/dirt. Maybe it is hard to clean because it is already set.

run it under running cold water, then use a blow dryer to get rid of stuff--also get a jewlers cloth (no lint)

Kevin...that EC is a beauty! All of your hard work and research paid off! Your picture taking skills are great also.

Congrats!

It''s breathtaking. I''m an EC girl - I LOVE them, and that''s a beauty.

Oh don''t you know I am soooo jealous???? Esp. at your price!! I did go back and read many of the threads you started--it''s been very helpful to have someone do much of the legwork before me! What a lucky girl--when will you be proposing???

I am thinking of valentine''s day, but that won''t be a surprise because she could be expecting on that day. Should I do it a day or two earlier or a day later?

isnt there some legal thing about a ring given as a gift she is not obligated to return but an engagement ring she cannot keep if the marriage doesnt happen? sorry to be so negative here but i had a friend who bought his girlfriend a very expensive ring --gave it on christmas, she broke up with him and kept the ring---but it was considered a gift...

for what it''s worth, my vote is earlier....if she''s expecting a proposal, valentines day would be the most obvious and kinda takes some of the surprise out of the whole thing. vday is on a monday, so you can start planning for a nice weekend proposal, and then you could celebrate vday as a newly engaged couple. just make sure to take her out on the 14th, so she can show off that beauteous ring!!!! best of luck!!

One more vote for this one !

Just curious... the Iscope view should be clearer in person than in photo, no ?

hope to see this one on hand too

I vote earlier as well. I have to hand it to my DH--he did it the right way. NOw, mind you, we were in college--he rented a cabin in the woods for our spring break. I had taken a nap and got up and was like, "where are you???". He had a fire going in the fireplace, lights were dimmed, and gave me the most beautiful speech before proposing. I can tell you, I will NEVER forget that--he even thought to buy champagne!

Just remember to let you feelings come across. Trust me, SHE will remember this moment (details--we women are big on details). If she dare even forgets, she''ll have a HUGE rock on her hand to remind her...lol. I am excited for you!!!
