hehee seems like somebody got just a LITTLE crazy with Photoshop !!! But a very pretty stone even without all the special effects.

Awesome choice Lisa!

Hehe... I did Mara. The first pic in each series of shots that nan posted are original and unedited with the exception of cropping. In following shots I was playing a little with star and diffraction filters. I like to play.

I let Kal know this when I sent the pix over.

Kindest regards,

Well Rhino we looooooooooove your playing...amkes us girls just drool...aren''t you glad we are all over our keyboards and not over one of your display cases - giggle :}
Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so definitely gonna drool over you showcase someday giggle :}

 

[wifey2b]

Oh my goodness, that stone is popping color and fire.

I can not wait to see this finished. Beautiful stone.

 

[:)]

I am speechless. That is incredibly gorgeous, and it isn''t even set yet!

 

[Kaleigh]

Right now my thinking is to Have Leon put it in a platinum setting, and have the oval flanked with half moon side stones. No pave, just plain. Well for now at least. Thanks to all of you for your kind words. Mr. Kaleigh thanks you as well!!!

 

[lumpkin]

That''s beautiful, Kaleigh! Congratulations and I can''t wait to see it mounted!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

It is beautiful! I cannot wait to see it set!

 

[aljdewey]

Very pretty! Congrats to you both!

 

[Cind11]

That looks like a phenomenal stone!!!!!!!!!! Those have to be some of the coolest pictures of a diamond that I''ve seen. It''s going to be so awesome when it''s set. I''ll bet you can''t wait. Congrats!

 

[Kaleigh]

Thanks lumpkin, Tacori, Aljdewey and Cind. It''s going to be well worth the wait. I hope to have it by Christmas. I know Leon''s rings take 6-8 weeks. So I better get the stone to him ASAP!!!

Amber the car came first. Thing was I couldn''t decide what the heck I wanted. Then I had that Ah ha moment and it came to me. I was just so happy to give my hubby something he REALLY wanted. I mean he has wanted this for years. So it was a neat surprise when he found out I was buying this for him. Trust me I am driving this baby too!!! Vroom vroom!! Side note, our garage had to be cleaned out for it to fit, have been after him for years to do this. Once he got wind of the possibilty of a new ( OLD) car, bamm., That garage got cleaned out in a Nano second.

 

[Lorelei]

WOW!!

It is truly superb! Can''t wait to see the finished result, it will be incredible! Many congrats to you and Hubby on your special anniversary and what a special diamond to celebrate it!

 

[tanuki]

Wow, that''s one fabulous oval.

 

[hlmr]

Your oval is obviously optically opulent!!

Congrats! It''s a beauty!

 

[UCLABelle]

Hi!! Ashley is coming home for the day, we are going to the Gem and Jewelry show at The Valley Forge convention center. She didn''t want to do the parents weekend thing, guess since we are local it''s not a big deal to her. We do need to organize a GTG soon. Hope all is well with you!!!

Thanks Lorelei, Heather, MMM and UCLABelle

I can''t wait to get this ring finished.

 

[UCLABelle]

I understand about not coming, my parents went to my undergrad parents weekend when I was at UCLA, but they lived in Northern California at the time...so it was a bigger deal

Yes, we need to do a GTG, maybe when your new project is finishe d

As for the Gem & Jewelry show...I do not have enough self-restraint to go to that

But maybe next year when I am no longer in school

 

[movie zombie]

we all know that color is my true love.....but this is a most gorgeous gorgeous diamond! congratulations!

[isaku5]
