 This is my Great-Grandmother's ring that was left to me. Two carat mine-cut diamond, set in Platinum. The ring was made in 1901.
I plan on giving it to my girl-friend in about two weeks.

Editing:
Cropping
USM
Added blueish lighting to bring out stone.
That's about it.

I'm really not that pleased with the photo... but here goes!

With a nice ring like that, she might. Maybe a little cropping on the right would help.(the rule of 3rds) Nice pic.

Very tough subject to photograph. Focus is incredibly difficult. I don't get a sense of depth here, which would have improved this.

I assume it is a ring, but it is hard to see. The diamond reflections are a bit extreme and the ring is too close to the edge for me.
