People also asked about the photos - here are some simple tips.
Photography is all about capturing light, therefore, light is of primary importance.
1: Whatever you do, do not use a flash. These pictures were taken in a well-lit living room.
2: A well-lit living room isn't bright enough to take a picture unless the camera is on a tripod. Therefore, the camera was on a tripod.
3: Artificial lights all have an inherent color shift. Your digital camera will do the best it can to adjust this shift, but you should read the instructions to learn how to set the "white balance". It only took me two extra button pushes.

You are right the .9 ct is not small!
Great stone and great pictures also! I appreciate the tips on the photos, especially the part about the white balance! I am going to have to give those a try myself.

Thanks for the photography tips. I am still experimenting with my digital camera and my kids recently gave me a tripod for it (which is still in the packaging). I will see what results I get with your advice! What about outside light???...most of my pictures seem to come out best when taken outside.
Hi Everybody,
This will be my last post for awhile, I've got a plane to catch. Hopefully, maybe, a hand shot and a story may be forthcoming in a week or so.
Judi, Sunlight is indeed the ideal light for many purposes. It is bright enough that you don't need a tripod, and it is the "true" white that our eyes expect all other lights aspire to. The only problem with direct sunlight is that it can cast harsh shadows. Oh, Judi, by the way, this ring is from your company.
The mount itself is meant mostly for presentation. Last I looked for hints she was undecided between several styles, so I'll tell her she can have it remounted in a few months when I have a little more money saved up. As it stands, over 95% of what I spent was on the stone.
The plan, well, there isn't really one. I was planning on doing this later this year, but we are about to take a vacation to Holland together, so this seems like a good opportunity to do something special. I'm packing a ring, a nice bottle of wine I've been saving for a special occasion, and two lexan wine glasses. I'm sure the moment will present itself if I look for it.
