...it''s really hard to get the sparkles it casts to show on film...

Dang what about avalanche? That isn''t overload...it is earthshaking. Since you stayed with the same shape...people are going to ask what you fed your diamond. Tell them you nutured it and encouraged it to grow into a beautiful HUGE BOULDER.

It is yummy!!

Sequels are rarely as good as the original, but NOT in this case.

Yowzers! That is one beeeeuteeful set there.

Well done!

it is really white I can''t figure out how to get my reflection with the camera out of it...ugh

Here it is casting some sparkles... although the camera won''t pick up the colors in the diamond, just on my hand...

Woo Hoo Sparkles. It''s gorgeous! Makes me want to give my diamond steroids as well. Enjoy. It looks lovely on your hand.

 

[emilina22]

now thats what i call an upgrade!!! congrats!!!

 

[Sparkles22]

table shot... okay now it''s the last one until outside
sometimes the table shines/reflects so bright that it will catch my side vision...

 

[Sparkles22]

not sure why it didn''t work..

 

[Sparkles22]

I will get some more pictures (hopefully they will upload)

I got the upgraded diamond from Shane Co. If you tell them what you are looking for they can call some in to look at (with a refundable deposit) if they don''t have them in the store. I think the stones on display (with price and all) is more for less picky people, and not so much of a sticker shock. I am happy with this purchase, I am waiting to see how it appraises. Hubby did not want to purchase online... so I think we did well with the choices that left us.

Congrats on the upgrade! (DKS, lol, "what you fed your diamond") It looks absolutely stunning on your hand. Very, very pretty set.

[motownmama]

Gorgeous! I loved the old set, but the new stone is incredible! I LOVE channel-ste square cut diamonds, and your band and setting are both just gorgeous!
