Thanks to Schell and everyone else that chimed in on the thread here: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/how-to-take-good-photos-of-your-diamonds.102989/

I had a lot of fun trying to get some good shots today. I even made a light box! All of the photos are taken with my iPhone. Some day soon I hope to have my husband show me how to use his DSLR and then maybe I can pick up detail a little better.

Which pics are your favourite? And if you have any tips for me, I'm always looking to improve!

I was planning on selling this ring, but these photos are giving me a whole new appreciation for it! If you ever stop appreciating your jewellery, make sure to plan a photo shoot - you'll see it in a whole new light!

Please let me know which pics are your favourites and if you have any ideas for how I can improve lighting, sharpness, etc.
 
The ones taken outside are very promissing, IHMO ... You remind my reading N times of how dappled light (through leaves) was known to be great for viewing diamonds - even subtle shades of colour etc. Haven't thought much of it !
 
PS - Pic #3 is my wide platinum band that I LOVE! :love:

Thanks! It really glows and sparkles in the outdoor light! I tried standing in the shade of a tree like @Niel said to do on another post.
 
I think the ring is very fresh and could be worn all the time and 9 is my favorite.
 
I love flower shot #11. I really think you should keep this beauty! Don't throw the baby with out with the bath water as they say. Get those lines sizing fixed and love and wear it!

Yeah it's a nice clean design.

What makes you like number 9? I feel like the lighting is a bit off. Is it the diamond that makes that shot for you?

Aww nice of you to say! I will have to think about it. I have so many rings I don't wear!
 
I like the ones with the red roses =)2
 
Fun experiment! Can I say that I just like all of them? More photos the better. :dance:
 
So pretty! Love your flower shots!! =)2

Thank you! I wonder if the rose cups the stone like a coned piece of paper would? Regardless, it seems to work well!

I also like this shot I got, that I forgot to post:
