Why thank you my dear! Those 2 are my babies! The pic is from last May when my oldest got married. My youngest cried more than all of us put together because she didn''t want to lose her sister, they are so close. I burst with pride, thanks for asking.
P.S. They are much more pleasant to look at than a pic of me...lol.

awwwww :*) and too late - some of us alreay saw the pic of you and you were more than pleasant to look at silly goose!

Actually the one you are thinking of is a light blue diamond of .95cts. It is nice, and it is her other favorite. Colored diamonds are special to both of us...

Wink

yes! I''m sure I speak for everyone that we''d love to see these stones

I have two:

one is the Shah Diamond, an engraved Golconda diamond that dated to the 16th. century
Second is the Taj Mahal Diamond, also an engraved diamond in Elizabeth Taylor''s superb jewelry collection.

Kaleigh,

I''m studying African Studies(I haven''t a drop in me, but I just fell in love with the subject), and I''m graduating in August, and then hopefully onto law school or grad school.

My screen name comes from one of my favorite shows, Sex and the City. I read in a magazine article once that the main character on the show was described as a fashionvictim, and I just liked it!

In writings the Shah Description was noted of being slightly tinged yellow.

I was under the impression that the Golconda diamonds were of the legendary "better than D color".

Since it is in Russia, if it is on display maybe Sergey will image in in Dia Calc. Now that would be neat to see with his new environment software imaging.

Golconda is a region, there were numerous mines in that region.
Its true, colorless diamonds from those mines have a purer transperacy. but that transperacy exicted in most of the gem-material that came out of that region.
It is just clearer when you look at a colorless diamond, a trained eye in this field would probably notice it on the spot.

But since these diamonds were mined, you could imagine that the material that came out of there was from industrial grade diamonds to the most beautifull diamonds that are engraved in history like the Hope, Dresden green, the light blue Idols eye, and the pink Nur-Ul-Ain, etc. etc.

This is an interesting link to learn about these historic Diamonds, happy reading...http://famousdiamonds.tripod.com/nur-ul-aindiamond.html

Golconda is a region in India where several of the most famous diamonds in history were mined. The Hope & Kohinoor are two that come to mind.

So many diamonds! So little time! hee
Since I was little I adored the heart pave'' diamond necklace that Elizabeth Montgomery had and wore on the TV show Bewitched. I''ve read that it''s white gold.

Please, I can not be responsible for your death...

Perhaps one day she will wear it here and I can photograph it for my gallery, but to date it has not been in front of the camera.

Perhaps if you tell her it will save a poor woman''s life she will have you photograph it.

 

[wildkardde]

Ooo, hard choice. I would have to say the Hope or the Dresden Green. Also any diamond I might be lucky enough to own one day.
