I echo this comment, Cellantini! I LOVE your ring with the band! It''s perfection to me!

I''m waiting on the freakin'' edge of my seat for pics of the thing that''s not up my sleeve. BUT, I guess I can spill in here . . . a .52 I SI1 ACA will be mine sometime tomorrow! Set in a halo setting. I''m SUPER excited!

LAUREN!!!! I''m super jealous and super excited for you! I had some bday $ to spend, and I considered getting a little half-carat sparkly, but I''d been looking for bands for so long, I thought I''d better get them while I can. I''m sure your new lovely will make me have second thoughts, though. Can''t wait to see it - is it a pendant, a ring???? Cellentani has so many questions.....

It''s a ring - the LOGR round Legacy-ish setting to be exact. I haven''t seen any pics yet, so I''m NERVOUS!!!!!

Indeed!!

Great shots Miss Lauren, I''d say you''re getting the hang of it quickly!

 

[DiamondsDiamonds]

Wow!

These are all fabulous pictures (and arrows).

 

[Mariposa]

How about some fire arrows?

Mariposa

 

[kamahsutra]

First time picture poster. Love these arrows

 

[Kelli]

Mariposa I just absoltuely ADORE your ring. VC rings are spectacular!

 

[Lynny0780]

i cant get my camera to zoom in or focus close enough to see the arrows.

 

[msee]

presenting my very own arrows! yay!

 

[Ellen]

Oooooh! I''m loving these new shots!!!

That fire arrow shot is swoonable.

Lynny, does your camera have a macro setting?

 

[Lorelei]

Excellent shots!!!

 

[Equator]

Here is mine. It''s a 54 pointers.

Ideas on how to set this ? I''ve been thinking pendants and rings, but can''t make up my mind. So many choices, but only one stone.

 

[Ellen]

Nice shot Equator!

I would suggest making a thread on your stone, asking for help on how to set it in the title. You''ll get lots of help that way!

Lynny, try switching to Digital Macro in your settings, lowering your ISO, putting the ring stationary on a windowsill with good light, plaving the lens about 2-3" from the diamond, and zooming in to about 2x. You should be able to press the shutter halfway down and it will focus on the diamond itself.

Woohooo!! Can''t wait!

 

[Deelight]

Not the best arrow shot (they get better) but I liked this one because it shows a little of what I see in terms of colours when I am on the comp surfing PS .

 

[Deelight]

For my cheapy point and shoot I think this shot is really good - who knew my camera could do these things Cannons rock .

 

[Deelight]

Better arrows with colour , I apologise I didn''t clean my ring I was to excited to try this .

 

[Deelight]

And I saved the best for last which also happens to be the first shot I took

P.S. The black spec is not an inclusion (I actually even looked up the inclusions on GOG's site to make sure) it is a speck of dust or dirt or something.

 

[Ellen]

Yay, you did good missy!

And the more you do it, the easier it will become. Some of the best I''ve gotten are when the light source is behind the diamond (like on a windowsill). I shall be looking forward to more now!

 

[Deelight]

Thanks Ellen

,
I will try that next time unfortunetly it is currently nearly midnight, I did hold her up to the fluro lighting and it looked awesome unfortunetly couldn''t hold my fingers still enough to get the good shots
