okay, you can back up now!

Your pictures are just outstanding. How in the world will I pick for the folder???
I am just loving all these shots. Bravo!!

The studs are amazing. Love the size- and arrows.
The ring is beautiful too. I''ve always loved that setting. The stone you chose is a winner.
now to pick a picture............................

 

[Ellen]

This is what the stone does whenever you shine a single or small light source on it in a darkened environment.

[Ellen]

Lorelei, thank you so much for the compliments! You''ve looked at so many, that means a lot.

 

[Ellen]

sevens, lmao! I just don''t think they look as good as some on here, but then, I''m anal. I''ll shut up, if you say so.

And thanks.

 

[Sundial]

Oh Ellen your pictures are just breathtaking! Your ring is simply to die for!!! Love the sparkle in those earrings too. You did really really good buying online girl. Thanks for sharing your pretties.

 

[mrssalvo]

oh good lord almighty....your stone is just amazing and the setting you chose is perfect for it. it''s fabulous, just fabulous...

 

[Lorelei]

Oh Ellen - I come back to MORE FABULOUS SHOTS!!!! What is it with PSers being such excellent photogs?????? I love all the pics Ellen but my fave is the lone firey crystally clear shot so to speak on the other page

That one gets my vote for the EC Folder

Thanks for sharing Ellen, I really enjoyed the pics

 

[Ellen]

Sundial, thank you! Yeah, I''m pretty darn pleased with what I ended up with. And you know what I''m going to do? Send one of these pics to one of the B&M''s I visited who told me:

A. I was too knowledgable and that could be a bad thing.

B. You can''t find good stones online.

Uh huh....




Mrss. Thank you!! Sorry to make you wait so long.

I meant to apologize for her being so scratched up. I must admit, while I KNEW what I was getting into with that flat, wide shiny band, I take it off to do so much, I''m kinda surprised. They don''t show in real life yet though, so when they do I''ll polish her up.

And yes, if you thought in some a prong was off, it was. I had knocked it and took some pics before realizing it. She''s fixed now.

 

[~*Alexis*~]

Wonderful! I love how some of them have that purple color to them....If i could only own a purple diamond......someday.............you came close though!!

 

[Ellen]

hilbake, I missed your post, sorry! Thank you very much!



Alexis, thank you! I am amazed at the different looks/colors this stone has, just sooo many. I''m in love.

 

[Kaleigh]

[BrightSpot]

Wow, ellen---such beautiful sparklies! The earrings are lovely & the perfect size & your e-ring is gorgous! Your stone is so bright & beautiful & look at those arrows! I love the setting as well. You did a fantastic job photographing it! I''m contstantly amazed at the talent of our PS gem photographers.

 

[Eva17]

Ellen, everything looks fabulous!!

Enjoy wearing them

 

[Ellen]

Kaleigh, Bright (started to put BS, then thought not, lol), and Eva, thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words.

I''m editing the first post on the ring. I found the info Isee2 gives you on your stone interesting, and thought some others might too. Forgot to put it in.

 

[KristyDarling]

I just love ogling multiple diamonds in one post. Heaven!

All your rocks are beautiful, and also beautifully set! Congratulations!

 

[Ellen]

Thanks KD, aren''t they fun??!


And DeeJay, I think I missed addressing your post as well, really scatter brained today. Anywho, thank you!

 

[sanfranciscoellen]

Oh my that is a beauty! There is something so perfect about that setting, and a drop dead RB like that one. I love love love it!

The Other Ellen (hee hee!)

 

[Mara]

Ellen that 1.4 looks HUGE on your size 6.25 finger!!! What's your secret?!

oh and the one at the top of this page is my fave!! lookit those colors.

 

[Ellen]

wallermama, I agree. I know that setting's not for everyone, but it is SO me. I tried and tried to find something different, with a thinner band so the scratches wouldn't be an issue, but I just couldn't get away from it. Plus, wider bands look better on my fingers. It kept calling me, lol.Thanks, from one El to another.

Mara, I know you're going to gasp when I say this, but a 1.4 is not that small.

And maybe I got a lil lucky.

And yeah, that one at the top is one of my faves too. Dreamy.

Only one word - STUNNING

- I can''t believe the beautiful sparkle and cut on the ring AND the earrings!

And I love the little ''birth certificate'' - that is really a nice personalized type of touch. Somehow it seems even more special when it makes you think of where it began, and what it went through to make it to the final ring!

 

[BlueKeet]

Absolutely stunning. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped farther to the ground with every picture. Might even be some drool on the keyboard. The colors you captured in the diamond ring pictures are amazing. The earings are gorgeous too. I like the 3 prong setting.

Thanks smiley face,( not sure what else to call you)!

And I agree about the BC, it does put a personal slant on it. Honestly, I have gazed at this stone more than once and said a silent thank you to whoever it was that took the time to cut such a beautiful diamond. I honestly feel blessed to own something so, as you said, stunning.

 

[Mara]

duh girl, i know it''s not SMALL by any means...but trust me...your 1.4 looks WAY bigger on your finger than i remember my 1.6 looking and i have a size 6.

it must be the amazing setting! diamond magic.
