[StarbuttsKoffee]

We just purchased this stone to be the centre-stone of a solitaire.. we are so excited and can''t wait to see the finish ring !

 

[Angel7]

Ohh congrats! Do you have any stats on that beauty?
Any pics of the setting you are thinking of?

 

[StarbuttsKoffee]

thanks!

its an E VVS1... love at first sight, we decided to have a six prong Tiffany solitaire... hope it will look good!!

 

[Angel7]

Oh I''m sure it will look stunning! What size is the stone?
Please be sure to come back and post ring shots and hand pics in the Show Me The Ring forum. We LOVE eye candy around here!

 

[StarbuttsKoffee]

it''s 1.08ct.

sure!! This is our first time buying diamond, we did a lot of research on it,

took us months until we found this !!

 

[HeartingDiamonds]

An E VVS1? Wowza! And 1.08cts? Its look GIGANTIC on that photo (what a plus!).

So, who''s doing your setting?

Congrats! I completely understand how excited you must be

!

PS: love your user name! *snicker*

 

[Angel7]

I agree, couldn''t believe it was a 1.08!! Looks so much bigger!

 

[StarbuttsKoffee]

lol

cos my hand and fingers are tiny haaaahaha... that''s why it appears bigger than it actually is!

I m having a private jeweler to do the setting for me!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Starbutts -- That stone is BEEEAUTIFUL! I can''t wait to either see more pics of it by itself or in it''s new setting.

Congrats on finding such a gorgeous diamond!

[StarbuttsKoffee]

we are trying very hard to shoot photos with fire and sparkle , but it is so difficult? I see all of u guys'' photos are very sparkling, does it just come natually when you guys shoot the photos??

[Sparkalicious]

I love this shot. It''s a gorgeous diamond and ring! Congrats!

 

[StarbuttsKoffee]

thanks thanks, i keep posing the ring with my toys lol....

 

[Cleo]

Wow! Congratulations on the amazing ring... I love it!

Try taking the ring outside, or if it''s too cold, just stand near a window and position the ring in direct sunlight to get some lovely firey pics. I find reaaaally bright sunlight is best for getting rainbows off my stone.

There''s a ''Fire Thread'' in ''Show me the Ring'' which you can put your pictures in too, when you get some.

[gwendolyn]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I love it!!!!

Will you please take more photos, not just of that GORGEOUS stone, but also of the setting? I''d love to see some profile shots and shots taken from behind to see the basket. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

And I see you called him your boyfriend, does that mean you don''t get to wear that beauty all the time just yet?

 

[Ellen]

That second to last shot is just stunning. You really need to start a new thread in the SMTR section. I know everyone would love to see this ring, and many of them don''t come in RT. Would you please??

And you''ve gotten good advice on capturing sparkle, Also, really strong but diffused sunlight can be good. Some indoor lighting works, but it also tends to make the stone look yellow.

 

[StarbuttsKoffee]

Cleo: Thanks for the advice, I ll try this today kekekekee....

gwendolyn: Yes, we love the profile too, its lovely, it looks like a princess crown!

Ellen: Sure, I will start a new thread in the SMTR when I get the fire picture later today!!

Thanks all!
