grrr... my file is way below 100k.. dont understand why it keeps telling me it's at 113?

 

[ForteKitty]

there... hope this works.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Can you compress it anymore?

ETA: guess we were posting at the same time. What an amazing collection!

 

[kcoursolle]

You''ve got quite the beautiful collection!! Lovely rings, thanks for sharing.

I was wondering if your Mom (or Grandma) would be interested in adopting me

 

[ForteKitty]

another.. i had to blur out my hand to make the file smaller.

 

[kcoursolle]

By the way, what''s your finger size?

 

[ForteKitty]

It was some glitch, i think. i just renamed the same file, and it was okay. i didn''t have to make any more adjustments to the size!

 

[ForteKitty]

Ring finger is 3.25, middle finger is 4.25. Most of those rings are sized to my middle finger, with the exception of the pear and rb/ruby ring.

and here's the newest.. i got it after i took those pics, and i'm too lazy to take them all out again...

New Toy

Oh wow - nice collection!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Wow, that is one gorgeous collection you have there. Love the new ring too.

 

[ForteKitty]

Thank you all so much!
Hee hee... My mom walked by while i was resizing the pictures, rolled her eys, and walked away! I told her it''s all her fault!

I see your mom and grandma instilled this love for diamonds in you at a young age!!!! I wish I would''ve gotten an almost 1 ct diamond ring for my high school graduation!!!! Thanks for sharing. I think your H.S. grad present is my favorite.

 

[ForteKitty]

lizz~ I love that stone, but not the mount. Actually, i almost never wear the two graduation presents because i dont like yellow gold. And my mom might be a little offended if i change it out, so it kinda just sits there. Also, I dont really like RBs w/o colored sidestones. It just doesn''t look good on my hand, so i mostly wear the others.

I''m currently trying to renovate a few rings. The oval is going into a 3 stone w/ sapphire pear sides. Still undecided on what to do with the pear, and the .76rb is going to sit between some type of green stones.

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Do you only collect rings or other kind of jewelry as well?

 

[ForteKitty]

Mostly rings, because I can see them.

I have a pair of diamond studs and some diamond pave hoop w/ pink sapphire dangling pears that i posted a while back. and a few gemstone pendants. Pictures of those are floating around somewhere!

I also have a tanzanite, a ruby, a sapphire, a pearl ring, and also some diamond bands that I forgot to photograph.

eta: i also have some cz stuff, but i left it out of the hand shot. My all time favorite ring (diamonds & cz & all..) is the cz on my avatar, set in 18kt white gold w/ .40ctw diamonds. LOVE that ring!

 

[Gothgrrl]

Fortekitty, just love the new addition. I too, just love rings. My mother used to tell me I wear (have) too many rings and that pretty soon you''ll be wearing them on your toes. I told her I already do!

 

[ForteKitty]

Here''s a full shot of the flanders from 2 years ago.

 

[gailrmv]

very impressive collection! But I don''t see the one in your avatar?

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Would you happen to have any other pictures of your pear? I love that setting...it is gorgeous! May I ask where you got it??

 

[bling*diva*]

~~Wow!!! I love the collection!!

 

[tulip928]

I love the oval! So pretty.

 

[Mannequin]

Beautiful rings! The oval with saph sides will be awesome when finished.

 

[conitta]

Very nice collection

Lucky you to have a Mom and Grandmother to be soooo generous. Are they jewelry nuts as you are?

 

[Dee*Jay]

What a lovely collection!

 

[diamondsrock]

[whatmeworry]

That''s a nice collection, Fortekitty.
