As Etta James would croon.....AT LAST!!!!!

[Tacori E-ring]

It''s beautiful! I love the halo. I am so glad everything worked out.

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks so much Kamuelamom, Mrs F, Matadora, Shay, and TER for bumping the thread and your lovely words! I just got back from a Labor Day trip and it was a nice surprise to see this thread bumped! It reminds me that I still haven''t done the requisite flower shot...gotta get on top of that! I was in Glacier National Park and didn''t take my ering on the trip cuz I didn''t know how much trail hiking or manual labor we were going to do...it was so nice to put my precioussssssssss back on today!

 

[cute330xigrl]

y''kno wat... its so cool to coincidentally read a thread that you''ve posted in... cos I get to look at ur ring thru ur avatar. seriously, what a beauty!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Ahhhhh, I just love your ring. I have a soft spot for pears, I''d love to have one of my own someday, and that setting just does your pear serious justice!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo pretty and dainty, I just love it!

FireGoddess - you can disregard the PM - I found this original thread with more pics. I couldn''t stand it! I saw your before & after pics on an upgrade thread on DT and was dying to get in touch with you for more pics! Still waiting for a flower shot - if your bored could you post some more side shots - and upside down shots...........trying to get a feel for the angles - I''m thinking of having this pear halo mounted onto a different band for my e-ring - but not sure if its going to be a possibility and if it is a possibility I''m not sure if the halo would distract from the band or not. Just trying to figure something out - I haven''t even decided pear or not but I loveeeeee your ring and I know my center stone is going to be a pear or cushion cut. Thanks so much! Bumpity Bump.

Candysparkles,

I answered your PM already and will try to take some different shots for you because I still don''t have my "flower shot" and I have modified the ring somewhat. Check out this thread for the support bars I put under the head. It''s not the greatest picture of those, so I will try to get some more.

I finally plunked my ring down on some beautiful roses I bought myself this weekend. Most of my pics came out blurry but here are 3 that I liked. There''s very low light in the room, early morning, overcast sky, but I tried! Had to get my ''flower shot!''

 

[FireGoddess]

just one with flash on

 

[FireGoddess]

last one for now

 

[AndyRosse]

Oh, I still love your ring

 

[CourtHorn]

Those pictures are great! Your ring is gorgeous.

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks Rascal!

I was at a wine tasting party this weekend and wore the ering alone (sometimes I like to do that because the itty bitty shank all by itself really makes the stone look huge) and I had 3 different women grab my hand during the evening and gush over the ring. A few asked if they could put it on for a minute and pretend it was theirs. LOL. Sure, what the heck - made me feel good! One woman there had a 4 ct blue topaz ering and she thought my stone was 5 ct! I nearly spit out my cabernet. I told her it was less than half the weight of hers. She was speechless.

ETA: Thanks courthorn!!!

 

[Lorelei]

Those came out great FG - lovely ring, lovely roses! I have always admired your ring, one of the prettiest I have seen!

 

[mrssalvo]

Love the new pics FG..I still love how thin the shank is and how HUGE it makes your pear look..

 

[Kaleigh]

I adore your ring FG, those flower pics are terrific. Such a pretty setting and your pear is gorgeous!!!!

[Melinda]

Wow. That''s absolutely gorgeous and huge! Congratulations! I love it!

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks for the kind words Lorelei, MrsSalvo, Kaleigh, Deco, and Melinda! I always love looking at the flower shots of rings...finally got around to it myself. hee hee

 

[sevens one]

wow- love the pictures.

 

[diamondlil]

Of course I love it!!!!! I know, I''m biased. The outline of your pear is to die for. Mine is a bit longer, but I definitely prefer your ratio. If you change your avatar pic, we''ll both have our pear halos with pink roses.

 

[MissGotRocks]

Just beautiful - when I saw the ring in the pink roses I immediately thought of DiamondLil!

 

[kittycatsmac]

I............LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE........YOUR.......RING...

it''s so much more bridal then the halo set I tried to make myself like, yours is perfect!!!

 

[FireGoddess]

Thanks 7s, Diamondlil, MGR, and kittycatsmac - I too thought that the pictures looked very similar to Diamondlil''s when I uploaded them. I remembered that pink''s one of her favorite colors and her flower shots were also on pink roses!

Would this make our avatars too similar?! Would people get confused?

This is what they could look like...it''s hard to pick, especially since I love my current one!

I cant get enough of your ring. I LOVE it!

FireGoddess ~

I just love coming back to loiter ... trying not to drool ... I just love how your ring turned out ... so delicate, so beautiful. I am a sucker for a sparklie pear!

Post more pics anytime ... take care

 

[diamondlil]

Not too similar -- very cool. I think I like the fourth option, mainly because I like seeing it with the point down. In that pic you can see that it is a single shank rather than the split like mine. My second choice is #3.

 

[FireGoddess]

Thank you kindly MsFlutter and Mrs Darlin Joy!! Here's another 2 pics I snapped the other day....this pear looks awesome when it's backlit ever so slightly! (Don't mind the pink -it's reflecting off my shirt!)
