Wow, I just went upstairs and counted. I''m a little shocked to find 28 right now, though I have 3 more coming.

Six with diamond center stones - asscher, OEC, marquise, OMC, Princess, ACA
Six bands - 3 sided pave, bezel round with miligrain, sapphire/diamond in platinum, 2 1mm baguette bands, one baguette/round diamond band
Eight halo rings - 5 LOGR Legacy settings (red and pale pink/lilac spinel, red garnet, BE Pad sapphire, Mozambique Tourmaline, Amethyst) yellow sapphire, EC blue sapphire, oval pink tourmaline,
Five diamond shanks - Pink tourmaline with bezeled diamond sides, Spessartite with 3 sided pave setting, Peridot with split shank pave setting, oval sapphire with sapphire and diamond shank, white sapphire with 3 sided pave
Three 3-stones - Aquamarine with baguette sides, Madiera citrine with EC sides, Afghan Tourmaline with baguette sides

On their way - asscher halo setting for a topaz, mahenge spinel for an empty baguette setting, and a 1 ct. carre cut diamond eternity band.

WOW!! LTP

LaurenThePartier, your collection is just amazing! This is surely what Pricescope is all about! Now I want Madam Bijoux to do the same thing that you did...empty out her jewelry chest and take pictures! She has,

thus far, only draped one treasure at a time over a purse (as far as I know at least) for photographs! And I want to see the other large collections! Who had the 32 diamond rings? It's butterfly 17. She needs to get

out her camera!

Lauren~ I have to admit, I kept popping back in this thread to see just how many rings you have! I''m very pleased to have been greeted with pics!!

 

[kenny]

Lauren if I was there I'd ask you to lay (or is it lie?) with your head on a pillow.
Then I'd gently weave many of your rings one by one into your hair in an interesting way.
Maybe some would be on your fingers but I'd make it look like they were migrating from your fingers into your hair.

We'd find a facial expression of fear of being attacked by a jewelry collection.
The lighting would be 1930s glam and the pic would be black and white.

Then, I'd set up the tripod right over your head and take a strange pic of the project.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Right now I have one, my e-ring which is just over a caret

I have an eternity wedding band (I do not know the tcw yet) that will arrive to my FI this week, but he won''t give it to me until our wedding day which is just over 4 months away.

Only wear the first 4 on a regular basis. (Some of these are family heirlooms, some gifts from DH, some are not very expensive rings bought by me many years ago.)

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Lori - once my carre cut band comes and I have the other 2 empty settings filled, I''ll do an all out, pull everything out and shoot it everywhere I can think of and with my hydrangeas. I should get the carre cut band by mid June, but I''m hoping to get it a bit sooner than that.

Dancing Fire - where are the pics of your (wife''s) rings?

Deb - you are far too kind. Thank you, and I''m with you - I''d absolutely love to see Madame Bijoux''s collection as well as Butterfly''s! Tourmaline_Lover, LovingDiamonds, and Chrono need to get in here, too.

Lisa RN - I would love to see your diamond rings!

Somethingshiny - I keep feeling like I miscounted - LOL.

Kenny - that sounds awesome!!! You''ll have to come to Dallas to weave your magic on me.

With your camera.

LtlFirecracker - Thank you! The funny thing is, I have a lot of repeat favourites. I wear my ACA, OEC, and grossular asscher most often (though there are no diamonds on grossular''s setting).

Holly-If you could see your way to taking a photograph, I would really love to see your 12 rings! I am still hoping to see Madam Bijoux' and butterfly 17's as well as the ones mentioned by LaurenThePartier and any

others that we can coax out of Pricescope members who have collections of rings!

I''ll try to get them together for a group picture this weekend. Also, I think I might have forgotten a couple of rings.

The hubs and I will need to revisit the tutorial about how to get the best photos of the bling, but we now have a working computer at the house again, so we should be able to work on that very thing this summer - - right along with uploading all the many photos we''ve taken of the house.

Oh, I enjoyed that! I was always in the top choirs in school, but could never manage to get past auditions for our Madrigal Ensemble. *sigh*
I so wanted to be a Madrigal singer. . .

Who are these singers? Where can they be found?

Sorry...I don''t know anything about them, Holly. I knew the song because I was part of a madrigal group when I was a teacher in a private school! We met before and after school (all musically inclined teachers).

So when I thought of it, I just did a search on YouTube and liked this version!

Here you go! I have another OEC .85 carat not pictured and my DD is wearing another. I am not a good photographer, and you can see I was wearing a green shirt that day. Will try to get a pic of the others without diamond centers soon.
