Last one. This was to show you how white/bright this thing can face up.
And WHY can you put two loose rings on and get sausage fingers?! Just ignore that.
Now, I didn't want to point this out in the beginning, because I didn't want you all to focus on it. It has two chips, one rather large (as in the area covered), but it's more like a shard that was cleaved off. If you didn't notice it, you can see it in most of the pics. Depending on which way I had the ring, it's either right below the upper right prong, or above lower left. It starts in the girdle and runs up almost to the table. Then there's another one a bit below that, but I didn't notice it in most of these.
Hope you had fun! Whew, that was work.

Catmom, thank you! Yes, lucky indeed.
Skippy, lol. I wanted to post it here, as I suspect there may be some on the board who would be interested, but maybe don't peruse SMTR. Irina can move it over there later.
And thank you!
Pyramid, thank you! Excited, giddy, you name it, I've felt it. In fact, I was so nuts I emailed Irina some preview shots. Normally I can keep a secret with the best of them, but not this time!
Lorelei, thank you miss! and thanks for the note about missing me.
cgal, I love the sentiment. Not sure hubs would agree.
And thank you!
Chrono, thanks so much. A gem indeed. I can't believe it's mine!
DeeJay, thank you!
Lump, thanks!! And I don't know about the flo, I've seen the same thing you mentioned.
Mercoledi, I know what ya mean!
jcrow, thank you. I have no idea what size anything is. I have no stats on the ring. Mom never even had the prongs checked.
From very crude measuring, the center seems to be about 3/4 the size of my 1.40. The melee I would guess at maybe 1 point? They are really small.
belle, thanks you. I really am so lucky. And yeah, ya'll better appreciate those paw shots.
crown, thank you! Yes, surprises like this I'll take any day. And the best part is, my sister gets 2 other rings of moms. But this one is the best, by far.

Wow-that is a fabulously beautiful ring! I LOVE IT! The center stone is so cool, and I love all the metalwork and the tiny side stones, too. I wish my mom had a few of those floating around...
Congratulations on a gorgeous new ring!

Fly Girl, you're so right. It's all about what this stone/ring is, not what it's not. And it's so funny, I am such a "symmetrical", picky person. But when it comes to this ring, it's all gone out the window. I couldn't find fault with it if I tried.
2of2, thanks so much!
Thank you Harriet!
lol Cehra, you wouldn't believe how many times I thought of you while shooting pics and trying to pic the best ones, as in what most would like to see/appreciate. A couple I put in there just for you.
A few things I forgot to mention. First, the ring gaurd is all one piece, I've never seen one quite like that. And I don't know whether to take it off or not. If my hands were cold, I think I'd need it, but it's a hair tight now that it's warm. Also, it likes to slide around sometimes..
Also, in so many shots, the ring has that rose gold tint/reflection on it. I have NO idea where that came from. I only wore white or very light blue when shooting, and especially outside, there was nothing near that color. Strangest part is I shot everywhere with my round that I shot here, and never go that. Pretty, but weird.
I did get several nice fire shots, but I'll put them in the Fire thread.
Oh, and the hankies were my grandmothers, I thought it only fitting to include them.

I''ll have to look through alll the pics and see if I can see which ones you were thinking of me LOL see? how awesome is that to have the ideal round and the chunky cushion?
As for the color, don''t forget your lips! I have several pics of my diamonds that you see my hair/skin/lip color in the stone

And yet it very well might be the same size as your round, just deeper - that crown was *huge* I''d love to see a crown to crown profile shot of the two rings!!Date: 4/26/2007 10:18:05 AM

that little pink culet is soooooooo cute I want to put a bonnet on it and put it in the pram!! LOL!! Some of those smaller stones look almost single cut - can you get any insanely close ups of those? I love it! That bootiful picture looks just like my stone in my avatar!! I can''t wait to see some pics of it from under a tree! These stones with the big crowns pull in lots of colors from around the walls and just from the environment... LOVE THEM!!!!Date: 4/26/2007 9:17:56 AM
