MissGotRocks, yes DH does realize he is quite lucky that my next upgrade will probably be my studs from 3/4 ctw to 1 ctw or to get a slightly larger pink sapphire. Of course he gets his turn next. He is in to watches but sadly they don't offer upgrades for watches. I thought his statement about gnats was pretty funny. The .53 ct. diamond I traded in for the .81 ct. was an AGS0 and there were just a few little "gnat" things about the .81 ct. diamond that didn't quite seem to same to me. I knew I keep looking to upgrade until I had that same type of diamond again and now I do. :appl:

DH's point and shot takes better macro shots than mine. I hope the sun is out in the morning so I can get some more pictures.

It is beautiful, Marcy! Congratulations! I love your setting in yellow gold. I wore a yellow gold setting for 28 years, and boy seeing
the beauty of yours makes me long for one again. It looks lovely on your hand, enjoy looking at that beauty!

Now that I found out DH's point and shoot takes better closeups than mine I just had to get a few more photos.

Thank you Luv2sparkle. I have quite a bit of WG but really like YG jewelry.

Thank you Sharon.

Thank you Dani. I am enjoying it so far.

Thank you Venice, it is such a simple band but I think it looks great with a solitaire.

Thank you Sig47. I have been giving DH a hard time tonight that we need to swap cameras. Of course my point and shoot is pink so I doubt he’ll trade with me.

Thank you Gemgirl. I was working my way up gradually to the 1 carat range so I thought I’d be coming home with something in the .90 range. I was very excited to hit the 1 carat range and get an AGS0. It was my lucky day.

Thank you Lalla619. Yes it is very sparkly, It’s a good thing DH drives us to work.

Thank you Junebug. I appreciate it.

Oh Marcy, your recent photos are wonderful. I love the various fire shots. I'm so jealous.....ever since I got my new RHR we've had nothing but rain, fog and overcast, crappy weather. I've yet to be able to take any pictures outside in the sun. :((

I really enjoy seeing all your photos so please feel free to post lots more. :naughty: Again, congratulations on your gorgeous new stone.

Thank you Farleysmom. I will probably try to take more photos this weekend when I can get outside. Rats that you haven't had any sunshine to get photos of your new RHR. We usually have some sunshine everyday which makes it kind of nice. Of course we get wind here.

Here are a few arrows shots. All the little reflections in the diamond make it look dirty. Oh no! I hope to get some more photos in the Sun on Saturday.

Thank you TyTy333. I was amazed at how much of a difference it makes. The diamond casts a shadow on my anniversary band now - I kind of freaked out the first time I saw it because I at first though one of the channel set diamonds was missing.
