Wow, someone knew that was a hypercube. I have a degree in math, and I love to read up on theoretical physics (higher dimension stuff).Date: 2/6/2009 9:48:36 PM

Hey, TL. I like your hypercube avatar! Very cool. Are you a mathematician?
ETA I meant to say that I love the garnet too!

Hahaa....okay, I fess up. I did get my ring on Monday, but I wasn''t happy with how it turned out in rose gold. The benchman didn''t create the head that I requested. So I went back and had the stone set into my original e-ring setting instead. It''s not quite the ideal situation, but it will do for now. You are right, a white metal shank does bring a nice contrast to the stone. I will eventually have the head redone in rose gold. I may have to send it to WF for a future project. For right now, it''s set and I''m able to wear it.
I took some pics this week. I have to warn you, it''s not perfect, but at least you will be able to see it in a ring. I''ll try to take more pics tonight.![]()

Or you could say it''s a 2D representation of a 3D shadow of a 4D tesseract rotating in hyperspace. I''m a science geek.![]()
PR, you''re way too kind, and I appreciate the kind words. There are many people on PS that I look up to for advice and knowledge about colored gems, so you give me way too much credit, but I appreciate the sweet words.Date: 2/14/2009 12:52:53 PM

Thank you, TL! You are one of the most knowledgable and sensible people on PS, so I value your opinion greatly. And thank you for the kind words about the settings, I do feel a little better. Maybe I was just being too anal. But my obsessive need for perfection won''t let me be happy.![]()
Okay, since you mentioned it, I had to share this with you. I thought this pic was so cool!
I took this pic a few nights ago with the incandescent lamp a few inches above it. It''s kind of glowing pink.
By the way, you still owe me more pics of your Malaya. Fork em over, woman!![]()
