My new/old Whiteflash ring is done!

[Andelain]

Here''s a peek at the Lab report. I''t my first ''D''.

 

[Andelain]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you''re thinking, Bring On the Bling!

So here you go....

 

[kenny]

That''s just too perfect.
I love the design.
Congratulations.

It looks great, I''d love to see a hand shot if you can!

I posted these pics in my JBEG thread, but I''ll share them here also since the WF ring is in them.

And here is is being the meat in an Eightstar sandwich.

Thanks kenny. It''s really cool to see a ring I''ve worn for years lighting up the room like never before. Now I have to figure out to do with the unemployed diamond that came out of the ring.

Here''s a handshot of the 3 from arms length. These pics are interesting in that neither Eightstar is intended to stay in it''s current mount and it''s probably the only time I''ll have them all on my finger like that.

If you folks are tired of looking at this ring I''ll shut up in here, but I just had to post a few more until then...

I''m enjoying this new/old ring.

Here''s a shot I couldn''t resist posting. I had carried the Eightstar over to show a friend that wants to learn about diamonds and stuck it on my finger afterward for safekeeping. I had my camera handy and got this fun pic of the flash coming off this little rock. Yes, the rings are dirty in spite of having just cleaned them. But hey, I''m in Iraq and they don''t call it the sandbox for nothing. That''s genuine Iraqi dust you''re seeing there...

 

[Andelain]

Once I took the 1.57 off and walked back outside I got this pic that I really like...

 

[Andelain]

And this one is a pretty accurate pic of what I see when I look at it. That is, when I''m not being flash-blinded...

 

[Andelain]

This isn''t the best pic, but you can see a little about how it''s set. It''s completely open on the sides, but it''s so smooth and snagfree.

LW now that is a sweet pic

Since I got this ring back it has…

Gotten a couple new scratches to replace the ones WF buffed out.

Spent time in a bunker because the base was being attacked.

Gotten covered in barbeque sauce from ribs.

Met a fairly famous musician.

Ridden in a BlackHawk (twice)

Gotten stared at by me a lot.

Shaken hands with an Iraqi military commander

Looked over a T-wall into an Iraqi city

Gotten so dirty it bore more resemblance to a P I-3 than the D VS it really is....

A rather interesting life for one little ring, I think. I was waiting to post a few more pics until after the upgrade, but think I’ll put them up in the next couple days instead.

 

[Dreamer_D]

I missed the hand shots, they look really great! The stone is blinding white. My next diamond purchase I think will be a nice colorless gem.

So who was the musician? I am dying to know!

 

[Fly Girl]

Rings are meant to be worn, and yours is having a wonderful life. You have a very sturdy setting to go with your active life. Love it!!!!

 

[yssie]

Life from your ring's perspective.. that's an interesting thought.

I guess my ring has done some pretty cool things too, now that I think about it...not many get to sleep with me afterall

Thanks!

I''ll get some more pics here as soon as my slow connection cooperates.

You''re not planning on trading in your 1.666 yet, are you?

The musician was Jeff Ellis. Up and coming country star who happens to also be an E-6 stationed here. He was waiting for a flight and had his guitar and harmonica with him, so I asked if he''d play something. First song he played was "I''m Not Leaving This Time", and he was real surprised when I sang along word for word.

 

[Andelain]

oops, double post.

hehehe, you have a point there. Not many get to sleep with me either, but I almost never take my rings off to sleep, shower, etc around here. It''s a whole lot easier to keep track of them on my fingers over here. Of course the ones not being worn right now are locked in my wall locker. Here''s a couple more of my ring''s view of my world. This pic was taken looking out the back of a Chinook helicopter flying over Iraq.

And this one was what you get when you introduce a ''D'' to Mr. Overhead Sun.

 

[Fire and Ice]

Cool picture!!

I think it''s really interesting to see your rings perspective. When you think about it, every stone has a very unique story to tell. I''m a sucker for a great OEC knowing of the history behind them.

 

[Andelain]

I was playing with a H&A viewer this evening and got this shot that I couldn''t resist posting here. I was sure wishing I had 3 hands when I was doing this...

 

[Andelain]

Let's see if I can post a pic in this new version...

A nice morning fire shot....

You can also see some of the scratches I've managed to put back on the poor ring....

 

[Isabelle]

That's so cool! I love that ring!!

Hi, I am just now seeing this! so pretty! I am glad you have a gorgeous ring like this! I also have a ring that is tension set. I love that there are no prongs and you wont snag it on stuff!
Congrats!

Thanks Betty! I'd like to see your ring too. Mine's not a true tension set, in that it sits down on an opening in the setting and the gold just laps over the sides. I've always loved the snaglessness of this ring, but I love that even more over here.
