All those colors are from colored objects placed between the diamond and the camera.
Sorry the diamond was not centered well.

Photographing diamonds is a challenge.

Profile.
The background is tooth brush handles that were placed far enough behind the ring so they'd be out of focus to provide a soft background.

Putting blur in a pic makes the focused part seem even more sharp, and the contrast in sharpness gives the pic what I call POP.

Finger shot.
At first the diamond felt large and I was self conscious wearing it.
I got over that really fast.

Even after 3 years I have not gotten DSS.
The size feels just right for an asscher since my eyes are in their 50s.

Kenny - you''re ridiculous with your photography.

Seriously - I bow to you and your amazing skills! Also, LOL @ the toothbrush in the background - I recognize that!

Awww, thanks Lauren. Yes, I did see my wedding set in this thread, right in alphabetical order. The funny thing about my rings is that my sister is the one who discovered Van Craeynest back when she was a teenager, and always thought she''d get one of their rings when she got married. Fast-forward a decade or so when I was looking for my rings and she gave me *permission* to go with VC when, after lots of search, they were the only ones I really wanted. When she finally got married, as you can see, she ended up with the custom route!

Beautiful rings Hest88, Kenny and Sarahbear.

I was drooling over some 1.25 to 2.50 EC diamonds on Monday. I wanted them all.

Well, if you're gonna post that one, taken at the restaurant during the LA GTG, we must show what made such a sharp, high-magnification, several-second exposure possible on the fly in soft dim natural light . . . using the camera's timer to take the pic and Kenny's trademarked Wine Glass Sugar Packet-Adjustable Tripod.

Nobody touch the table.

Hahaha. I'm such a geek.

Well YOU try getting the attention of all those panting, sweating, drooling, frenzied, foaming at the mouth diamond-obsessed screeching ladies during a veritable feeding frenzy of TDF bling.

Good thing a man was there to take charge, remain strong, refined, sophisticated, dignified, cool, calm and collected.

Uh oh.

(I think I'd better get outta here now . . . fast.)

I seem to recall bits of drool at the corners of your mouth, Mr.! Don''t act like you were the only refined one in the group - you were just as grabby handed as the rest of us, doll!

ROFL - no one else at the table had a glass of wine, though I was sorely regretting not joining him!

I'll tell you what, though - it's a brave man who puts his Nikon D200 on top of a wine glass to use as a tripod!!!
