    Hardly a masterpiece in the sense of Faberge egg type masterpiece. In fact you would have thought the jeweler would have concieved of something a little more full than a half melted single scoop Thrifty's special.

    Emerald-cut diamonds, not emeralds. It's my favourite cut of diamond actually(if I could afford diamonds).
    What is the point of the yellow diamond in the middle?

    Maybe they ran out of the other kind.

    It is kind of sad that they can glamorize something so ugly. I have to agree with Jen. Hardly Faberge egg material. Not even as good as those glitzy emu egg purses.
