The Gooney Bird Setting

A special Thanks to Mark and Kim W. 
who showed me and Jack a really great time in Washington State and 
gave us the grand tour. How lucky am I to count them among family.

Rock Shelf Setting

Jack and I adventure out quite a lot looking for diamond settings. Here in a deep gorge in Logan, the diamond pops against the dark shadows of overhangs. While shooting this setting, we happened to overhear the remarks of two very observant little boys, about 8 and 10.
"Mom, look at the size of that diamond!" (The parents were not looking, having tuned them out hours, possibly years ago...) I missed my first shot and aimed the camera ready to reshoot, waiting for it to cycle. I knew they were getting closer.
Jack said they were behind me, arms outstretched when I finished my shot, grabbed the diamond and shoved it on the front pocket of my hoodie.
They were left to wonder if they'd been seeing things.

Saks Fifth Avenue Setting

This is just about as close as the lady at the jewelry counter 
would let us get to their diamonds with our diamond.
