So, what does a guy give his darling who''s addicted to jewels and Pricescope?

[cellentani]

In addition to my peach sapphire pendant (can''t forget the sparkly), I found digital calipers and a nice pair of locking tweezers. But wait, there''s more...

Taken in my new lightbox, perfect for those macro jewelry shots. Came with tabletop tripod and 2 lights. This guy's a keeper!

Okay, I don't have nearly as much time on my hands as it seems. Just though you fellow Pricescopers would appreciate this, because none of my other friends/family would.

What great gifts!

 

[EricaR]

Ohhhh! Someday I will have a light box and a table tripod! You lucky girl!

 

[steph72276]

Wow, what a great gift. That shows he really knows your interests. He is a keeper!!

 

[Tuckins1]

Wow, cool gifts!

 

[bee*]

That''s such a cool gift!!! Top marks to SO!

 

[geckodani]

NICE! What a thoughtful and wicked cool gift!

 

[Fly Girl]

Those are all great gifts. I especially like the digital calipers. I can''t tell you the number of times I''ve taken a piece into my jewelers to have it measured. Sometimes a ruler just doesn''t get the job done.

 

[Catmom]

Ooooooo, cool gifts! I want a light box..............

 

[tlh]

a keeper indeed!

 

[Rhea]

cell, did he find the light box at a reasonable price? I''ve found them here and there but they''ve always been ridiculously expensive.

LOL

Exactly! I''m gonna have to show him that one, but he has spoiled me quite a bit this past year. Of course, that was 2008...

Awww...what great gifts!! I just checked out your peach sapphire pendant and it is yum-o! It has such a nice salmon color. To answer your question, you can never go wrong with jewelry, flowers and chocolate.

 

[coatimundi_org]

Very cool!!

 

[newsboysgrl777]

Awesome gifts!! Especially the light box!! Have you used it yet? If not..... (major HINT, HINT) LOL. I think you should photo ALL of your jewelry for us to see!

PS SOOO great that hubby(?) gave this to you! It shows he''s supporting you in your interests which is SOOO important! So...

... kudos to him!!

 

[Skippy123]

Ah, how sweet is that?!?!

 

[risingsun]

Great gifts

I wish my hubby thought like you. I hope she also has a carat scale, a nice loupe, chelsea filter and the whole nine yards.

 

[chiquitapet]

VERY COOL!!

Hi gemgirl, sorry I didn''t see your post earlier. The light box came in a kit with the tripod, lights, and a case that holds everything. My husband is part Scottish (aka bargain-hunter) so after looking around, he found the best deal from: http://www.antonline.com/p_American-Recorder-Technologies--SIB-075--American-Recorder-Photo-Studio-in-a-Box-_317400.htm @ $40 plus $10 shipping. I saw someone''s post a few days ago where he showed his lightbox setup that he made from stuff found at Home Depot, but honestly, for the price, this has more of what I would use. My one note of caution is that since this kind of pop-up light box has a "floor", you have to be careful not to bump the sides or top when setting up shots. And, it''s a little tight if you need to get your head and upper torso in to look through the viewfinder. I found this out when I had the camera on the tripod aiming straight down (and the LCD screen was facing straight up). I was thinking about taking some with/without lightbox photos so people could see the difference. Anyway, hope this helps.

Cellentani, did you ever get a chance to take with/without photos? I would love to see them.

Hi Glitterata,

I haven''t taken any formal pics with/without the lightbox, but I''m looking for a project for the long weekend, so I''ll work on that today. Yea, a new project!
