Some Updates - Step Cut City, for those that don''t frequent CS

[LaurenThePartier]

Hi all! I have a few updates that I haven't posted in the SMTR forum. Also good news, I have a new DSLR, and some of these pics have been taken with that. Enjoy!

First up - my 3.45 ct. Peridot in a Jewelryhoo setting.

Profile. The Asscher is fairly deep, so it stands pretty high up off my hand.

Thanks, luv2sparkle! I hoped I wasn''t intruding by posting pictures of so many repeats.

I swear, I would DIE to raid your jewelry box!!! Absolutely fantastic collection!

 

[SparklyOEC]

Stunning Collection!

 

[HVVS]

What a nice collection! Great pics, great rings, great thread. I crave that aquamarine and I don''t even *like* aquamarine, lol. I''ve always wondered what some of those settings from jewelryhoo, LORG, etg. look like in real life.

 

[motownmama]

fantastic! I couldn''t possibly choose a favorite!

With my eternity band.

yay! you have handshots! I love them... and this is one of my favorite piece for step cut combo

Lauren- whats that blue round full bezel ring? I

is there more pictures of it?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thank you, ladies!

Tuckins1 - Thank you, dear! We should really organize a PS exchange!

SparklyOEC - Thank you! Your avatar is breathtaking! Is that yours?

HVVS - Thank you! I''m really impressed with the standard quality of that baguette setting. The side view is a bit . . .meh . . . but after louping those baguettes, I know I got a set of VS diamonds.

Motownmama - Thank you! I''m super OCD about matching my RHR with my outfit. Super dorky, I know.

D&T - I took those handshots just for you, hun!

That round bezel is a cheapie blue topaz from Overstock, IIRC. Someone else on PS has it. It''s just a fun little sterling silver ring, but the colour is pretty nice!
