Thank you! I wish I could take good pictures...It’s sparkling all over the place next to my bezel diamond bracelet. I kept trying to take pics but they would come out looking dead..I’m going to either get a camera or learn how to do it..It so frustrating! I almost walked into my tree staring at the sparkles from it..trying to take a good shot..

You do. No one, not even the best picture taker ever, can capture the sparkles. We've all tried and failed. So don't feel bad, we know it does.

Ok..that does make me feel better but I can’t even get a clear picture! My neighbors must have thought I lost it yesterday..I was walking around my yard with my arm up taking pictures..That’s when I almost walked into my tree! They must have thought I drank the eggnog!

Well what I can tell you from my experience is (and trust me, my neighbors could probably tell stories too) you have to have the camera and the ring still. Totally. So you taking pics with both your arm and the ring not steady/resting on something will spell not crisp pics. I almost always rested my hand/arm on something to take a picture. Use whatever is around you, or grab a box, stack of books, whatever, to help you steady your arm. That is the biggest key to getting the shots you want.

Thank you! I even thought that maybe my arm is shaking holding the camera..but it looks blurry through the lens when it gets too close.

Do you have a macro setting on your camera? If so use that.

Congrats on a such a beautiful bargain!

 

[MamaBee]

I just got into Maryland after driving in traffic..exhausted..and one of the first things I did was check to see what you all are up to! Thank you for all the wishes on finding my bracelet! I’m still on cloud nine...I actually pulled out my receipt to stare at it! I hope you all find a blingy bargain this year!

Look into "point and shoot" cameras. They are pretty easy.
