OH! NOW I get it!  Sorry.  Huh!  Did you ask about the price?  ("Of course not silly, I was taking sneaky photos with my spy cam," you say!)

Well, if it were a diamond, that would certainly explain the incredible dispersion! Of course, it could be a sapphire or tanzanite that someone put in the wrong case!  1087

Well, if it were a diamond, that would certainly explain the incredible dispersion!  I wouldn't be surprised if it were an untreated blue... afterall, there are SOME out there, and they DO have to be on display SOMEWHERE... right?  dontknow  On the otherhand, all the retailers, even the priciest, seem to have upper and lower tier merchandise these days... I would guess that precisely where you saw this ring displayed (ie, what other stones were in the same case or area) might give you a clue regarding it's value...


Yep, exactly. And it was right next to the pink diamonds, so I figured it for a blue one. And those were over in the cases on the wall with the other amazing and HUGE stones, the showstoppers.  And not with the colored gemstones.  And no clue what price it was, right - I was SNEAKING!

Oh shoot, sorry about that folks! I went back and edited my post... I just got sick of myself and cut out most of it!  Then it looks like IHADP cpoied it before I could DESTROY it all!  Roll Eyes

Anyway, based upon its neighbors, it does sound like this blue may have been the real deal!

Whoa, that turned out pretty well.  Just had to do the same to that pendant - check out the shape of this baby!

Love that straight baguette too...

Closer of the pinks - see how the pear has more of a peachy pink tone?

Okie dokie djm - I'll go with that.

I am, however, convinced these are intense purple pink diamonds, or something close to that. They were in that position of proximity and prominence in the cases.
Looks like the top one needs a little cleaning.

Don't think the blue is treated IDAHP.  It looks natural blue/grey to me.  What was the price of that one (that should be the giveaway)!

Anyway, as for the others - I'll have one of each please! 

Right, where did I put my millionaire husband ............. ?

I'm thinking that's YOUR new red design dj, ya think? It does have your look all over it!

CS, I don't know the prices of any except the custom spess/ruby halo w/ diamond center ($56,000!) b/c I was sneaking photos so I didn't ask!

Hey, with this one I'm at post 1000, woo hooooo!

The steps in the top stone of this shot are making me weak in the knees...seriously!  And I did a close up of the asscher band on that giant cushion.





I gotta stop now - I'm on such overload!!   drunken_smilie hypnodisk Confused42  I think I need to go smoke a cigarette now...

I don't care if it needs a little cleaning!  I'll take really good care of it!

IHADP, these photos are awsome!  Thank you so very much for taking them... and SHARING! I've absolutely LOVED "browsing" and I plan to continue looking these pics over and over.... and over... and over... I'm afraid that the blue three-stone has done me in, AND, I've decided that I WILL make one... albeit with a "substitute" center.  Grin

But, for now, I need to rest... it is like eating too much sugar, I feel weak...
