I bet you can''''t guess what''''s in here. Hint: It''''s OLD, and it''''s MINE.

LOVE IT Ellen!!!! IMO that is perfection. It looks great on your hand.

 

[Joolskie]

Oh Ellen... it is just beautiful. The ring is simply stunning on your hand and knowing that your mom received it from your grandparents makes it all the more special and unique. I know that you are going to enjoy wearing it.

 

[Ellen]

lol Yes mam, I''m working on the fire shots now.

And I''ll see what I can do about your other requests.

I knew you''d love those colored culets.

Thank you Sundial!

Richi, thank you. And wow is right.

strm, thank you! And more fat lgf''s!!

Thank you mrss, I do loves it too.

Miranda, thank you!

 

[FireGoddess]

Ellen it is SO GORGEOUS!!! That stone is such a beauty and the setting is just icing on that beautiful, yummy cake. What a wonderful piece. I can''t even begin to say what I love most about it....because that would be EVERYTHING!!!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

What a treasure! Wear it with joy and in good health!

 

[griffiam]

They don''t make ''em like that anymore! What an amazing heirloom. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Ellen]

neat freak, I think I missed your post before, thank you!

Joolskie, thanks. Yes, I can''t wait to wear it. It really is special. Wish I knew the history on it. I wonder where it (the stone) was for the 60ish years before my mom got it....

FG, thank you. I agree, there''s not ONE thing I''d change on it.

Well, ok, I''d be happy if it wasn''t chipped. But it doesn''t really seem to hurt it much.

Madam, thank you so much.

griffiam, no, they don''t. I''m glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Ellen]

Ok Cehra, here''s your first request. These are the better ones I tried for, which weren''t too many, at the time. The first time I saw these blown up, I got all excited. For the most part, they were all stars, something I rarely get on my round. I was like, OH, they''re like Cehra''s!

But they''re still not as perfect as many of yours and a few others. *sigh* I''ll take what I can get.

This one is a bit different, as the sun is behind the ring.

omg do me a favor and re-edit this pic so that there''s just the stone but it''s like full size because that is just beautiful - look at the colors in the stone *aside* from that insane blue!!!!!

Do you think the chunky facet stones are easier to get fire from? I really think that''s it... because I don''t have a hard time at all and I really don''t think it is me or my camera LOL

 

[Ellen]

Itty bitty.

 

[Rachie]

Gorgeous!! Oh my, that stone and ring are to die for!

Love it!

 

[Ellen]

Almost done. I see you Cehra, hang on.

mine has the ''advantage'' of being new and symmetrical - but it doesn''t have *any* of the charm yours does... there''s something about the old cuts that are just *better* because they''re not predictable. My stone doesn''t have perfect sym so it isn''t totally predictable, and I dunno if I would like a totally predictable perfect OMC (probably I would but I doubt I could find one I didn''t like anyway LOL!!!) but there is something I and many others who love this stone *prefer* about the more random nature of a stone that isn''t perfectly symmetrical. I hope I''m saying this right... if you feel complimented then I did good

that''s like tiffany blue I have this pic of my stone that has a pretty aqua color like that and its not a particularly good pic, I just love the color! LOL

 

[Ellen]

Last one.

This was tough. When one would light up, the other wouldn''t. They did NOT want to cooperate, but I persevered.

This won''t be much better Cehra, that was at 100% to begin with. But here ya go.

And no, as I said earlier, this one is WAY harder to shoot than my round. I knew my round was really fiery, but I really thought this stone would beat it easily. I haven''t figured out why it doesn''t yet....
