I love this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!! piggy's not nutso after all, yahoooo! \(^(oo)^)/

I notice my ring throws off lots of sparkle when I'm attending the opera/ballet/symphony, in the last 15 minutes or so before the performance when they partially dim the lights! :nuts:
 
on a related note, has anyone ever tried to take a photo at your favourite sparkle watching location, only to discover that the picture totally does not capture what your eyes are seeing at ALL?? I feel like I've tried every camera setting but I couldn't find one that really showed up like it looked IRL!

I actually had my VC&A birds of paradise ring shipped to laurayuki, who was kind enough to do some panda testing and approval before popping it in the mail to the pigpen! (^(oo)^)v In the end, she resorted to locking herself in an empty office on the sunny side of the building to take a VIDEO because she said the photos were just not adequate :laugh:
 
One of my favorite places to look at my ring is, suprizingly enough, the movie theater. I like waiting for the movie and looking at my ring in the dim light.

LOL- I have a sparkle obsession. There should be a warning when one purchases diamonds- Warning: May become distracted by excessive sparkle. Do not operate heavy macheriney while looking at your diamond. LOL!

:yes: Movie theatre lobby lighting is fantastic too!!

All the time and it's really irritating! pics make my nice bling look like glass beads...:pout:
 
The ladies room at my office.at my officetable also.sometimes I would notice my officemates look at my pendant when they are talking to me :)

Yes, the "obvious" stare, but they say nothing LOL!!!

I tell my DH that when we're in public together & friends or strangers notice my ring, they'll glance at it.....stare at it and then the attention immediately goes to him.....the man who bought it!!!!!

I look at my E-ring as a walking ad for my DH!!!!! So, I always manage to rationalize the "need" as it's all a reflection on HIM!!!!

I managed to get cobalt, turquoise, and deep coral pink amongst the colours in my horrible office lighting. SO hard to capture on film though
