The colours are very bright and rich; I thought the earrings are 22kt because they look so buttery yellow. Did you use flash or something, which tends to distort photography colours? In any case, the stones look beautiful and very suited in yellow gold.
Thanks Chrono! But no, no flash; I rarely, if ever use flash. All pics were taken in varying degrees of natural sunlight only, with no flash on. The pics of the gold are pretty accurate; I was really pleased with how the gold looks too, but it's just 14k. I almost went for a higher (I was thinking 18k), but then I decided against it.
Armywife, preg, wordie - thanks for the kind words !
