Faceting

I wanted to gift my maid of honor something special, since she really went above and beyond in my wedding planning. She loves giant flashy diamonds (which of course I don't cut... and can't afford!), and was thrilled to learn I was giving her this massive 14 carat beauty.

I don't know what kind of jewelry setting she's going to put it in but knowing her, it'll be beautifully ostentatious and she'll be showing it off for the next twenty years at least!

I bought myself one of those macro lenses to try to get better photos and goodness, those things are unforgiving! My polish looked fine to the naked eye but the macro lens had no hesitation showing me every streak I didn't perfectly polish out. Guess I need to spend more time on my final polish - and y'all get more videos without the macro lens for now so I can hide my shame. 😂

Cubic zirconia, 14.130 carats, design is Gram Princess by Jeff Graham.

Edit: here is a photo of it beside my hand, for better scale: https://pxlmo.com/p/meggied90/637487568069056822
