I was in my car letting it warm up a hair before I zipped off and the lighting was nice. SO I grabbed my iPhone and started clickin.

I cannot explain the weird glowy white one. I don't know if there was a lot of fire and the camera freaked or what. But I thought it was cool!

Specs:
Diamond is 1.15ct, H VS1 Med Blue Flor from GOG, Star129 branded superideal cut
Setting is Vatche Royal Crown
Wedding band is a Martin Flyer FlyerFit micropave band, 15 stones about .25ctw.
All in Plat.

Thanks!

I am SHOCKED that my phone got that! My real camera sometimes can do it, but this was like...OHMYGOD when they actually turned out!

I love the pic titles weird white ball. It's very interesting.

Which iPhone do you have?? Your pictures are so amazing! I haven't had an iPhone for ages now, my last one was the 3gs, and we switched to verizon (and android) before apple made its way over. I can't believe those are phone pictures, they look better than what I can take with my actual camera. Hats off to you, you have some awesome picture skills!!

Beautiful shot - I love that 'weird white fire' one! I also have an iPhone and have been VERY impressed with the shots it seems to capture. I've upgraded to IOS5 - not sure if that helped the camera feature any...

You have lovely hands and a GORGEOUS set of rings, Ame!

Ame I know from your other post that you've had your trials and tribulations with these rings, but they really are stunning! Please just throw away your loupe and enjoy them.

Gawd, the star129 is an *awesome* cut. I know that's no shocker to you, but I've just copped on hehe. I've always wondered if it was possible to keep the extraordinary sparkle from an ideal-cut <1ct round in a larger stone -- and here it is.

Thanks everyone!!!

Manderz/Enerchi/Tuckins:
My iPhone is the 4S, and I was pretty impressed with the quality when I got them home to crop. The higher megapixel actually makes a major difference in the crispness. I could not believe any were clear enough to even use.

Thanks!!! It's 6.9mm x 6.8mm? I believe, somewhere in there, and my finger is about a 5-5.5 in the finger part, and about a 6.5 in the knuckle. I have them sized at a 5.75 full with sizing beads :)

Sundial:
I should take pics of the two areas that I have the problems with because they are on either end and don't show here. But the loupe is not at all necessary to see them, which is part of my issue with it. If it was just under a loupe fine, but they're not!

I owned a .86 before this one and that was also pretty phenomenal. I was always wanting a small pair of studs or even a 3stone version of this but they don't really cut below .5 anymore. :(

Oh I can only hope! Maybe seeing mine will inspire the STAR people to buy higher clarity rough again!!! :naughty:

A 3-stone version of your ring would be INSANE. Just saying.

lol FOR REAL. If they would start cutting higher clarity again, and smaller stones again...totally. Maybe one day this one will be a sidestone ;-)
