Ooo I like this game!

I especially love making rainbows with Ella (that’s my diamonds name) when on airplanes. They go everywhere like a disco ball

I like that ring - can you show more pictures of it, please?

Here you go! Had to make it 4 times to get it right.

Wow, that's fancy! Is it tension-set?

I got a rainbow in my sapphire. Needed cleaning

You guys have some really cool rainbow pictures!! It’s cloudy now, but when the sun comes out I’m going to see if I can do the fire/rainbow combo and different colors on different facets.

It’s tension inspired. It does have a small undercarriage.

These pics are for you, @Dancing Fire — “pop rocks” mode due to lighting — in real life I was very self conscious about the ring and the fire it was throwing off!

But this was what the camera did with it.

I didn’t want to muck up your thread with pics of my ring! I can’t wait for you to add some pics here when you get the CBI and camera to play nicely together..

Oh my gosh you guys, I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed reading this thread!

@KristinTech, I laughed so much at your spiral petals followed by your realisation it's a hall of mirrors of your blinds and then the almost horror movie quality of it! Totally delighted! I literally laughed out loud, thankfully nobody can hear me!

Thank you all for the joy.

Fire is the most magical of diamond properties. Here's a little twist on the theme of this thread that demonstrates how the observer physically determines the perception. This photo (courtesy of Yoram @diagem) shows a spectral fan from a diamond arriving at the observers eye. Depending on which specific wavelengths are 'clipped' by the pupil a different color will be perceived.

I did actually catch a rainbow. But not in just one facet this time. I have posted this pic in about four different threads, but wanted to add it here!

This is beautiful.

Fun thread!
I had to get in my wayback machine to find this photo. I never focused on seeing the rainbow before, but there it was ; )

@Jimmianne WOW!!! Did you do something special to get such a great photo or was it luck? My good photos are all luck

Ok I tried again to get a rainbow on a facet or two, not just over all fire. Haven’t had a lot of sunshine to play in lately. Please pardon the dirty ring!
