Needle in a hay stack!

[bex891]

Just wondering if any of you guys have managed to find a needle in a hay stack. AKA Ebay!

I recently managed to buy a real bargin. I live in the South of England and found this ring on the US Ebay site.

It is a 1.20ct RB platinum setting.
Colour - I
Clarity SI2 (absolutely eye clean)
depth 60.6
table 58.4
girdle thin-medium
culet none
polish good
symmetry good
fluoresence medium blue

It came with all documentation: Full IGI certification, Gemex light performance analysis. Original owner bought the ring in Feb 2005 and paid $7500 (I have all receipts)

I bought for $2000 and although I had to pay inport duty etc.....it was still a real bargin, and boy does it sparkle.

I have never uploaded pictures before...so please bare with me.

OK...so I''m a complete dummy. I have cropped my picture, but it is still too big! can anyone tell me what i should be doing in photoshop

Congratulations!

(go to ''edit'' in your photo program and then ''image size''. Change pixel number.. (300-400 is nice))

Congrats on your find! We''d love to see more pics....do you have a scanner?

I haven''t been able to find my needle in a haystack at ebay...I''ve stuck to low price purchases there.

 

[bex891]

Yeah....I do have a scanner....but not sure what you mean?

do you mean scan in hard copy photographs?

There''s a thread in the show me the ring forum where people have put their hand (with ring on) in a scanner and the scanner takes the BEST SHOTS of the rings! It''s our new-found amazing discovery!!
