I wanted to get a new diamond ring but given that my mum’s cancer relapsed, it is just….not the right time to do so.

I am playing with my camera and tried to cheer myself by taking the picture of my pink diamond ring. Well, the pictures are not great but they are the best I have taken of the ring because it is just so difficult to take a picture because it is so sparkly in real life. I could take white diamond pictures but never manage to get a decent shot of this pink diamond ring. Nope….I could not even remember the specifics of this diamond. I got it from my friend who had this diamond for a long, long time (I think it is 20 years laid forgotten in a safe). She sold me this diamond….I think, for a couple of hundred dollars. The four diamonds round the pink diamond are warm coloured diamonds I bought during a discount at one of the jewelry shops. The 2 brown diamonds are from…..cringe…ebay. The 2 green stones are demantoid. I called it my pink ribbon ring because the 4 diamonds surrounding the pink diamond makes it look as though it is a ribbon. There is no GIA certificate but I did show it to a gemologist and a couple of jewelry shops and they agreed that the pink diamond is ‘real’ and not irradiated and it is practically worthless because it has a lot of inclusions. Yeah….I know, it has inclusions and I could see them without using a lope but there are no black spots and in a strange way, those inclusions make the diamond even more sparkly. And this is probably the only pink diamond ring I could afford. And yes….I am very proud of this ring as I designed itself and I love the pale wash of colours. Most people…..complimented this ring as a very sparkly, unique….crystal ring. I am still waiting for the day for anyone to identify the ring as a diamond ring. My mum too love this ring and we ’share’ this ring between us.
