I didn't have much free time today..but did manage to squeeeek one out. I really need to get a photo booth set-up or something. I just can't get these pictures to do the stones justice. One pic with flash.

One without flash

Please....comments good and bad!

You're a professional by now! That oval is just perfect, and the stone itself is a beauty. Your mom is gonna be very happy!
One question though: with all the girls in your house do you think you will be able to give that beauty to your mom?
