This diamond ring photo makes me laugh....lol

[MyDiamondSparkles]

Okay seriously, it must be my mood today, but I laugh every time I look at this photo.

I'ts like:

"Ethel, git over here! I've decided it is high time to sell that 3 carat diamond ring we inherited from Aunt Bertha".

"Now git over here, near the living room window, and gimme your hand".

"Now hold still!"

"Good God Ethel, are you in your socks and house coat?"

Actually I find it kind of creepy, the second picture where he (I'm assuming) is restraining her hand for the photo. I hope the person is selling it willingly?

oh your right. After reading what you wrote I went back and took a 2nd look...you are so right...creepy

The first photo made me want to Fist bump to greet.

The second photo made me sad...whoever's wearing it gives the "I don't wanna" vibe.

I wonder if it's the man's mom/gma?

Lastly, if you're asking 12k for a 3 CAROT diamond...you might want to do a quick spell check: carat.

Nice.

I was thinking maybe she couldn't hold still enough to take the photo without some help

Oh gosh, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

The seller sells A LOT of stuff, so I didn't even think of the things you all thought of. I could "imagine" that the seller heard that the best photo lighting is morning light, woke his wife up and she is like "Oh good God, Harold, my nails aren't polished and I'm in my bathrobe and all this for a big honking ugly ring!" and that's why he has ahold of her hand...she's trying to hide her chipped nail polish.

Doesn't carrot have two Rs?

Poor old Ethel. She's not giving that puppy up.

Yes, that's the impression I get too, like her hand is trembling and he had to steady it. I don't get a bad vibe though, it just feels like the lady is not very keen on the idea of being a model. And the pics are really...um, unconventional?

Oh my...

 

[tyty333]

I think it will be a cold day in he!! before he prys it off her finger!

 

[dragonfly411]

Maybe they want to take one last amazing vacation...

I was thinking the second pic was darn odd, but then, like Yssie, I thought maybe she was a touch unsteady. Do surely hope so.

Love the fantastic holiday idea? what holiday could we hope for them? I hope they go to a really madly expensive holiday in the Maldives, all huts on stilts in pristine, arthritis comforting, warm waters and fully inclusive hot and cold running champagne.
