Many of you have helped me so much finally realize my 50th birthday dream ring (I think it took fully 1/2 of you regulars assuring me and cheering me on—especially all you step cut experts), and yes, it took 16 months from my first searches to actually getting the ring on my hand, and yes, I am nearly 51 now, but it just shows how wonderful PS is as you all really struck with me through all those requests for opinions! My gratitude and thanks to you all.
I know the currency of PS is photos photos photos, and while I feel less than up to the task with my photos, I hope these are somewhat better. I did promise to post lots of pictures, and so it seemed the thing to give the ring its own SMTB thread.
So without further ado, here in it’s own thread is Lizzie ( my smaller, but what still seems to me, Liz Taylor worthy ring
) , and some of the better shots I managed.
The (almost) original thread from when I found the diamond is here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/bought-it—dream-of-a-diamond.268840/
I also tried to shoot one more video to capture what it was about this particular diamond that grabbed me. It’s got just a 2-step crown and something about it and the pavilion combine to rain tiny virtual facets all over the pavilion steps so that sometimes, I can’t even tell its a step cut. It‘s the play back and forth from the sensible hall of mirrors to the magic of all that sparkle that just gets me. I think some of the videos on the other thread might capture the sparkle, but I tried to zoom in so you can see how/why its happening in this video.
Cheers all
