sparkler29 Cut Rock Total Posts: 194 Last Post: 4/2/2005 Member Since: 1/9/2004	I received my new ring on Thursday evening. I have to say that I'm still learning how to take pictures of my stone, and it's so hard!! These pictures do not do the ring justice - the stone is GORGEOUS! When I look into it, it reminds me of a snowflake! I don't have all the specs right now, but it's 1.55 carats, G color, VS1 clarity. It's currently in a temp white gold setting while I decide on a setting. I LOVE my cushion so much

sparkler29 Cut Rock Total Posts: 194 Last Post: 4/2/2005 Member Since: 1/9/2004	Hi everyone - thanks!!!!!!!! I still can't stop staring at my ring. I think I'm in love with it (and of course the guy who gave it to me!) My ring size is 5. The current setting really shows off the diamond, and I'm kind of diggin' it right now. When I first got it, it seemed really high, but it's growing on me. I have no idea when I'm going to look for a new setting...just enjoying it as is right now! Can anyone give me some advice on how to take closer pix of the stone?? I'm having a really hard time. I'm using my fiance's cannon digital camera (elph) and using the macro setting, but it's still not focusing on it close-up. Should I use a magnifying glass? Flash or no flash? Direct sunlight? I really want to show you all the stone - it's mesmerizing, and so white and clear. Cushions rule!

And it looks perfect (and large!) on your finger ...funny, in that top pic, it looks almost like a radiant... reminds me of Nicrez's beautiful rock... _______________________________________ "any diamond given with love is a beautiful thing"

quaeritur Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,238 Last Post: 2/3/2005 Member Since: 3/12/2004	AWESOME!!! Wow, I really like it in the temp setting, because it's so... "look at ME!" One thing you might try is to take the highest res picture possible, then take the full size image and crop it down around just the ring. If the resolution is high enough, this can give you a "magnified" view, even if you can't get closer to take the actual photo... quaeritur

sparkler29 Cut Rock Total Posts: 194 Last Post: 4/2/2005 Member Since: 1/9/2004	OK, so I don't yet have better pics of my ring (I'm trying so hard!!), but I do have stats to share, as well as a few pictures of my fiance (!!!) and I. If he ever finds out I've posted his picture on the internet, he will not be happy First the stats: Cushion Brilliant 7.26 x 6.85 x 4.47 1.55 carat depth: 65.3% table: 67% girdle: thin to very thick, faceted culet: none polish: vg symmetry: g clarity: VS1 color: G Flourescence: none It's true what they say, you simply have to view a bunch of cushions to find the right one. This one is just gorgeous, due to the sparkle and the unique faceting that gives it the look of a true cushion.

Jewelery in the diamond district in NYC - website is www.idjewelryonline.com. If anyone wants additional info, please feel free to PM me! I have two stones from them - a .5 carat simple pendant and now my e-ring! They gave us great deals both times!

Jman Rough Rock Total Posts: 1 Last Post: 9/15/2004 Member Since: 9/15/2004	Is the Cushion cut otherwise known as princess cut? Seem to be more familiar with term "princess cut" around these parts. Square diamond. Or is there something special about "cushion" that is different then "princess" I'm glad you are happy. How involved in the process were you? My girlfriend has to see the diamond before I buy it. The romance of getting engaged is starting to fade as we can't make up our mind and find the right diamond, and ring, but suppose will get cheapest solitare to hold diamond until e-ring chose is made.

lsmathis1 Cut Rock Total Posts: 170 Last Post: 3/9/2005 Member Since: 7/20/2004	Sparkler - Wow, what a gorgeous cushion! I loooove them. Congratulations! I can't wait to see the final product, but it looks amazing as is! By the way, you guys are adorable Regarding taking better shots... I purchased a loupe (found mine for $14 - brand new on Ebay) and it's amazing what how many uses you can get from it. We have the canon elph digital and I just hold it up to the lens and take pics! Most of the ones on the thread that shows my new sparkly were taken that way. It's amazing how well they come out. I just crop off the loupe (outer edges) and they look great. Sometimes, if you hold it just right, you can't even see the loupe on the edges of the camera. It's the cheapest "macro" lens I've ever purchased and it's amazing how well it works! Check out Ebay and get yourself one of these babies - if you don't have one already. Again, congrats! ~Lisa

sparkler29 Cut Rock Total Posts: 194 Last Post: 4/2/2005 Member Since: 1/9/2004	Thanks for the compliments everyone! I'm having so much fun wearing my ring. On Monday I'm going to have the temp setting lowered a bit because it currently resembles the Eiffel Tower (I got that from Nicrez!). Unfortunately I don't think I'll be changing the setting for awhile, which is actually OK because I can't yet decide what I want. My fiance couldn't possibly handle any more "searching" at the moment!! Plus I like the look of the ring - very classic and it allows the stone to shine. Although I'm tempted to make an appointment with Reena's pal Leon...or perhaps look into a Memoire setting, or maybe the Vatche half-pave...YIKES!! Stop me! Lisa, thanks so much for the loupe recommendation - that seems like the best way to get close-ups. I MUST share the details of my stone with you all!!! It's killing me! I promise I'm on the case [OK, that smily's name happens to be "rodent"...what's up with that??]

Don't lower it too much if you plan on getting a good size band! ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.
