The new WF ES 2.32 J SI at last!

[brneyedgrl]

The latest pictures are amazing. You really are able to capture the arrows wonderfully.

I haven''t taken any more pics of my own rings, but I did get a new camera as well. It has more mega pixels than the current camera, and I still need to figure out how to use it. That is this weekend''s project.

Anyone else agree that we need folks like Mara, Matatora, Sunkist, and many other camera pro''s here to contribute to a FAQ thread on "How to take mouthwatering ring shots" ????

 

[Mara]

Kristy you too missy! I LOVED the shots in your thread!!!

 

[LizzieC]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Mara!

I think you need to post at least 10 pics a day, every day...(until the next upgrade

)... just so we can make sure you''re taking good care of your new baby!

 

[Lynn B]

Good lord, girl! You are becoming a professional photogra-PHER!

I am drooling all over myself over here -- and I''ll have you know, it''s VERY unattractive!

MAN! That stone is a KILLER! Have I told you that already? Oh, I have? Well, let me say it again - it''s GORGEOUS! I LOVE IT!

Now, send me your camera and no one will get hurt!!!!

xoxoxo!

Those new pics are to DIE for.

WOW.

I am loving the head of your ring more each day. Isn't that bangle the best thing ever?
Do you think .5 is the best carat size for that, Mara? Would it be weird to go bigger?

OH MY GOSH, BROWNIE IS A REAL DOG???? Impossible!!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hlmr]

Thanks sunkist and Lmurden for your kind words about Brownie.

Mara, I do believe it is time for a new avatar with some serious new bling!!!!! Perhaps a 2.32 J SI could fit the bill?!

 

[hoorray]

Wow Mara! Your new stone is beautiful, and looks huge with your delicate rings. Well done!

So... what''s the ultimate goal these days? 3.5? This one looks great. Funny how once you get over the 2c mark, how big the stones start to look. (Until it gets next to one of those really big ones...)

Julian I LOVE that bangle. Are you considering it? The one on my wrist in those pictures was a .50c stone. I thought it was PERFECT..just noticeable enough but not too much. It also looks so classy in person. I was thinking about something like a 2ctw super thin line diamond bracelet and I think one could even do something like the 2ctw bracelet AND the solitaire bangle. Oh my. The bangle is definitely on the list!

 

[Mara]

Hehe Lynn, fork over the $300 for the new camera girl. You will NOT regret it. Seriously, what are you waiting for? You HAVE to have a new camera by the time your new rings are done!!

Hmmm lop the dream size? Well at this point the 3.29 looked fab on my hand, so around there would be great, but when the time comes (someeeedaayyyyy...) I''d love to try for ~3.5c and just call it a DAY. But I guess we''ll see.

New avatar...I will have to think about it. I''ve gotten so many compliments on my pink boots. Tee hee!

I dug out a few more pictures...!!! My flowers are blooming so hoping to get some more flower shots tomorrow with the bauble in sunlight!

 

[Mara]

Brneyed...so glad to hear you got a new camera...can''t wait to see your new pictures too! The cameras are SO much fun. TOO much actually.

 

[Mara]

i love this shot!!! i actually had put my rings into my lap to put lotion on and they looked fab and oh i just happened to have the camera and took a quick snappity snap.

don't my jeans look cool up close? hehe.

 

[Mara]

all lit up! i love all the pastels in this whole shot..not just the ring. the washed out hand looks cool too.

 

[Mara]

last one for now...the facets are showing a cool pattern here...absolutely LOVE the blues.

*GASP GASP GASP*

Mara!!!! Holy smokes. I need some air! It is just too beautiful for words. I am so loving the new head!! Much more than the old 4 prong one. And the diamond?? OMG! It''s such a eye-catcher! I keep looking at all your pics and then looking down at my own ring and thinking, "damn, I wish my ring looked like that!" Heehee.

I probably saved 10 pics of your new upgrade into my Pricescope picture folder! Congrats on finding such a wonderful fit for yourself! It''s absolutely mesmerizing!

 

[ello]

Oh my goodness Mara - It''s amazing! YOU ROCK GIRL!
It must be so hard to sleep at night - I bet you keep the monster next to your bed side table poking it in the middle of the night to make sure it''s really there!!!! ha ha ha! I''m so happy for you! yeaaaaaah!

 

[genette]

love love love the new ring mara its so pretty!!!!!!! i was wondering what kind of camera do you have that takes such detailed pics? sorry if it was mentioned but this was a long thread and i was just amazed by the pics

 

[Mannequin]

Love it love it love it! What a knockout!

 

[Lorelei]

Had to have another peep....

 

[jetmal]

OMG!!!! Mara, I''ve been away for a few days....come back and see this beauty!!!! It is simply gorgeous....I can''t say in words how lovely it is! wowee!

your pics are awesome.....can''t get enough of them!
CONGRATS GIRL!

 

[Mara]

thanks milly, lorelei, equest, jetmal et al. greg was telling me last nite i am SO SPOILED (actually it was more like 'you are the most spoiled girl i know')...and i was like but i deserve it right? he was like yeah whatever!!!

lol ries...yeah i am constantly checking my jewelry box...is it there is it there. i also clean it every morning, i am newly obsessed for sure. towards the end there, the original J was somewhat neglected with cleaning and attention..i'm such a bad diamond mom!

fashionsweetie, my camera is new, it's a canon sd550...a few other members have it and their pictures and also seeing other similar canon shots on here convinced me i need to get it, it was only ~$300 and it's awesome. i LOVE it. it is light years better than my old camera and for the price point i was really happy with the performance. it's a 7mp camera. i'm still learning how to use it to it's 'best' ability though!

 

[dbgaap]

I AGREE WITH KRISTYDARLING .....

A POST JUST FOR "HOW TO TAKE MOUTH WATERING PICTURES"

enjoying all the new pics!!

 

[jaysonsmom]

Oh MY GAWD!

It''s GAW-GEUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so busy at work, I haven''t been able to pop in a gawk at any new rings for a couple weeks!

I live vicariously through you Mara, if only I had such an understanding hubby........................

I covet the size and beauty of this stone. Wear it in good health.

 

[didiamond]

Oh My God mara!!!!!!! Once again, I''m bringing up the rear end of your thread! My eyes are burning from all of those pictures!! You have an INCREDIBLE diamond/ring/setting! I loved it before but OH MY!!!! WF did a spectacular job placing the 6 prong head on your existing ring and it shows. Your stone looks FABULOUS and HUGE and absolutely perfect on your hand (not that your next upgrade to 3+ won''t!

). I can''t tell if the diamond looks perfect on your hand or if your perfect hands make the diamond look that much more stunning.

And your pictures? Man, you take some awesome pictures. I can''t believe all of the shots with the arrows and colors and BLING, BLING, BLING! You truly have a beautiful wedding set. I am sooooooooooo happy and excited for you like it was my own! Actually I would like to try it on so I can see how it looks on MY finger!!

Question: Are you thinking a little more about having a litte Greg or little Mara so that you might get your next upgrade sooner rather than later?!?!?!

(I''m sorry, that''s just the little devil plotting inside of me. Don''t tell Greg I asked!)

 

[Mara]

Okay I hope ya'll are ready for some more pictures!!!!

Flowers and diamonds make the best companions....

 

[Mara]

Fluffy rose petal bed for the bauble...

 

[sanfranciscoellen]

Mara, you are one lucky duck. You have a gorgeous new ring, there!

Yesterday I tried on a 2.5ct to see what a moment in the life of mara is like. Damn. Being used to asschers, that size RB burned holes in my eyes with its bling! Shazamm! Are you blind, now?

 

[Mara]

Hanging out on an about-to-bloom hydrangea...

 

[Mara]

Closeup...I just love how this stone catches the colors around it SO readily. It's very adaptable.

 

[Mara]

Beautiful rose petal detail...this makes me think of pink swirls of whipped cream.
