Here are some pictures of the rings that my GF doesn't even know exist!!!!
Sorry for the amateur photography. I only had about 5 min this morning to try and get some decent shots.
The center stone is an AGS0 1.12ct RB I SI1 from GOG.

Oh my stars!!! Thank you so much for posting these. They are GORGEOUS!!!

Please, a whole lot more pics, oh and congratulations.

By the way is that the regular size, or the larger size set?

Thanks Angeline!
This is the smaller (regular sized) set. I think they look AMAZING together. A good reason for a short engagement, in my opinion...but that's another story.

I am very busy today, so I don't have time to get many more pictures.

Consider these pictures an appetizer. I will be hiking in the N. Georgia mountains over the next couple days. Should be able to get more (&bigger) pictures next week...

Wow, what an absolutely stunning set. You did VERY well! Love it.

And good luck!

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

GORGEOUS! Your GF is going to just faint when she sees them.

And pictures tip: 100KB is a lot smaller when your resolution is really high. See if you can pump that down a bit.

WOW you did a wonderful job and the rings are gorgeous! What a beautiful surprise these will be

P.S.
Neatfreak is correct. You can reduce the file size of larger pictures by either lowering the resolution settings on your camera, or by compressing the larger files on your computer. I know VC pieces can stand up to the zoom, so you could even crop your pics to cut out some extra size. Good luck!

Ah, another gorgeous VC set! She will be over the moon! Please considering posting pics in the "Show me some van Craeynest thread" especially when you have handshots.
