Also, here''s another diamond ring photo I found where the colored sparks of light appear to have been added on (vs authentic).
Well Gary, that just shows us that you are not using photoshop too much yourself, which is probably ....a good thing.Date: 2/8/2007 11:05:21 PM

I don''t believe that the EC pics are identical...the reflections in the prongs and the outer edges of the crown facets at the top and bottom edges differ. Furthermore, the bottom stone seems to my eye to be slightly wider than the top one.
I DO see many similarities, however, but this may be due to the shooting the pics in a photo dome of some sort.
I also agree that the use of dup pics to represent different stones is, in fact, MISrepresentation.
I don''t think its uncommon to doctor photos - I''ve seen doctored photos that whiteflash has... where they have the EXACT same ring in gold and platinum and it''s not two different rings - it''s photoshopped. I guess it matters how and when they do it. Doesn''t bother me that whiteflash would do that - but I did notice it.Date: 2/8/2007 1:49:57 PM

These are from (what I thought was a reputable) online store based in New York City. I just noticed that the emerald center stones in these two rings appear to be identical...look at the facets and shadows within them. What is going on here?? Is this normal?

ITA PS - the differences can be explained far more easily than the exact similarities.Date: 2/8/2007 11:10:43 PM
