Purveyors of Fine Glass...

[Andy M]

Given that we all appear to be fond of fine (expensive!) glass, I thought I'd post these:




It's a Hearts and Arrows brilliant cut diamond, viewed through a special (dusty!) Hearts and Arrows viewer instrument which made it a pain in the ar$e to photograph

Special thanks to PH member Lord Summerisle who sourced the diamond for me

I thought you meant something else when you asked for advice on photographing your bird's ring without a macro lens...

Who wants to tell him if his diamond is actually made of glass, however fine and expensive it is he's been sold down the river...
