Got a little upgrade ... but what’s this inclusion?

[Nymeria]

A white gold or platinum setting would really make that stone pop!

ROTF! What a fun thread! You guys are hilarious!

Another vote for a platinum setting after a recut with a halo!

It just occurred to me ... I may need to have admin move this thread given it’s a sim.

Okay, but please excuse the smaller piddly diamond in the picture, and my unmanicured hands. And I’m under a taupe colored canopy which is throwing the color off a bit.


@cflutist Yours appears to have a better cut than mine, which does have a honkin’ big table. It’s heavy, weighing a full pound. I think I’d like to get a couple of them, maybe even in different colors, just for a pretty display on my desk. I have a couple of sun catchers with different colors that capture the light coming in through the window. Do you recall by chance if HL had a variety of colors & sizes?

No they didn't. But have seen some of different colors at the SF Gift Show, but were only single cuts.

Fun thread!
But beware about the sun with these things and paperweights, especially if in an area with any sort of thermal paper.
We had a small house fire due to a ‘crystal’ paperweight on the windowsill and thermal paper on the desk.
I would have never thought the chances of that happening.

Here’s my single cut specimen!
Put in a bowl of plastic fruit because I’m old!

Thank you for mentioning that; how scary! I will be sure to keep it in limited direct light. My office window only gets a small amount of direct sunlight in the early morning, so I will be mindful of where I place it and nearby papers.

How pretty! I may start looking for others when I am out & about and do something similar to display them.

I do hope if others have them, that they’ll post theirs as well!

...and don't let people size-shame you when you wear it out in public. If someone says, "That's HUGE, he must love you ALOT!!!" just smile and nod your head and say, Thank you. Yes he does."

Has DSS set in yet?

Kinda, but rather than nag hubs for an upgrade already, I figured I would just get an eye exam and new glasses this week to make it appear bigger to me.

And by ‘it’ I mean the ‘diamond’; not hubs!

Hilarious!!!!!!

This is a fun thread. Love it!

 

[the_mother_thing]

WOW ... I guess it’s not unreasonable to actually consider setting my paperweight!

I think you're being uptight about the packaging, the vendor did a great job.
