Awww...thanks guys! I'm a bit of a hobby photographer and as great as my lil Canon is, I'm sooo lusting after a digital SLR. Oh well. In due time
My DH chose the setting! I'll definitely take more hand shots and post them.
Mara - For lighting, I used the tungsten setting on my camera to cool the images (like the two on the tripod)...I took those photos in full, bright sunlight. In other photos, the diamond was simply reflecting blues from the sky and my shirt.
I would be SO drawn to it if I saw it in a display case. The clean lines and weight of the setting just showcase that beautiful oval diamond. What a knockout! It''s just the style of setting I love. The open sides are just perfect. Your diamond is just outstanding. I can''t say enough about your ring! Beautiful, unique, elegant, strong. Truly spectacular!
The rings looks great on your hand. I love that clean solitaire look, without any other diamonds. A gorgeous stone like yours don''t need any other embelishments.
