My Opal Birthday Ring

[Camilla]

Hi! I got this ring about half a year ago and although I''ve been a long time PS browser, I just felt today like I should have a go at posting pics (probably because I''ve gotten sooo much pleasure out of looking at all your rings (seriously, this site becomes addictive!) and felt like I should contribute). My parents bought me the ring as a 16th bday present - they said they wanted to get me something I''d keep for always, and I wholly intend to!

Eek, does anyone know how to make the file size smaller, but still keep the image quality good? The pictures are fair...I just don''t know how to upload them - I had to make this a .gif file to get it uploaded...

Welcome!

I tend to save pics as jpegs after I''ve cropped them down to a decent size in an editing program. There may be more tips under FAQs...I think belle wrote a thread on how to post pictures.

Thankyou! Well, here goes!

Aaw, you've all posted such nice things and I'm still uploading! Thanks for letting me share! I haven't actually managed to capture either the milkiness multicoloured-ness of the opal or the sparkliness of the diamonds (really tiny diamonds always seem to sparkle like crazy)...maybe if people wanna see, I can ask my friend to take a few shots

- edit (sorry, yes, I am an october baby!)

That''s a lovely ring Camilla! It''s dainty and pretty but sophisticated too. Just perfect for a young woman!

I hope the ring will bring you lots of pleasure over many decades to come.

Thank you everyone, for all your kind words! It''s funny how putting on a tiny thing like a ring or a pair of earrings can make such a difference to how you carry yourself. Kinda like ''pulling pants'' or ''power shoes'' (not that I have either...but there you go)
