my wife''s new verragio

[gbreaux]

first the diamond.

found this one at Good Old Gold.

 

[gbreaux]

thanks Jon and Marie. Jon is a true rock climber. This guy finds some really cut up rocks.

 

[gbreaux]

the hearts .. the hearts... i can''t see em, but i know they''re there!!!

 

[gbreaux]

And finally the rings...

 

[gbreaux]

the re-sizing totally blew up the rock. don''t know how to fix that. can anyone help me here.
I just open the pic up in editor, and then I re-size until it''s under 100kb. It''s starts out pretty defined, but the pic I just posted doesn''t show the center diamond the way it looked before the re-size.

 

[gbreaux]

yeah...the re-sizing is killing the clarity of the diamonds...need to get better at this for sure.

 

[gbreaux]

a hand shot

 

[gbreaux]

a smaller hand shot....i hope

 

[gbreaux]

ok...the pics don''t show the quality of the diamonds...that''s my fault

now i''m challenged to show them better. but i don''t have a clue as to how when i have to down size the pics so much.

heck, it took me two hours of looking through my camera''s manual to learn how to shoot w/o the flash and where the macro button was..

geeze, you guys don''t realize how hard it is for some of us to deliver for ya''ll. we''re just trying to return the love ..

again, thanks for all the help you gave when we were choosing and eliminating diamonds based on the knowledge on this board.

I tried on a Verragio PAR-3052R yesterday

and I cannot for the LIFE of me find it online. They wanted $5000!!! Now I'm stuck on them, sooo beautiful!

 

[Jypsie]

WOW!!! It''s absolutely beautiful! I get so inspired by all the lovely pictures and settings that I see here... my poor hubby keeps hearing KACHING everytime I open one of these posts. LOL

My Dear Santa, Dear Birthday Wish List, Dear Valentines, Dear Anniversary, Dear miscellaneous-just-because lists have grown leaps and bounds since I started visiting this site regularly.

PS has become my new addiction... sparklies for the win!!!

 

[Skippy123]

Beautiful and elegant!!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Very beautiful!

 

[ringster]

very beautiful set! i was eyeing some of the verragio settings when i was looking for an ering. i love the u shape of the prongs. congrats on a job well done!!!

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Who cares about the pictures, those are stunning!

 

[mrssalvo]

beautiful, beautiful rings!!!

 

[gbreaux]

thanks for the compliments on the set. here''s another hand shot I found on the hard drive.

I still need to know how to keep the detail in the pics after they''ve been re-sized.

How do ya''ll do it? and while we''re on the subject, how do ya''ll show the tremendous fire in the pics that we see in the viewfinder? Are the cameras being put on tripods with extended shutter speeds?? If so, how long is a good shutter speed??

This info could / should cut down on my recent failed attempts to capture the FIRE of the stone.

 

[CrownJewel]

wow that''s a gorgeous set! PLEASE don''t hesitate to post MORE MORE MORE pictures! Your wife is a lucky lady!

 

[iheartscience]

That is a GORGEOUS set! The diamond is amazing and that setting is to die for! I love how Veraggio does the U prong thing on the side stones and the stones in the wedding band...beautiful! You done good!

P.S. I don''t have any answers for you about resizing the pics...but I have to say, your pics still look great!

 

[gbreaux]

thanks for the compliments. it''s nice to know others think they are sweet too! we''ve admired so many rings on this site while searching for this set as well.

i think i found an easy edit program on my computer. i''m going to see how it comes out. i didn''t know, but i have an auto feature to re-size to "web-small size". this makes the pics very small (40 - 50 kb). so.....i can post some more pics.

 

[gbreaux]

It worked!!!

I''ll try the fire pic

 

[gbreaux]

Last one ... another hand shot ... now easily re-sized in auto re-size mode!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Very beautiful! And you''re doing great with the pictures!
