Yes it does sparkle more, as you have seen Keith.
I'm just a lousy photographer, well the sun wasn't out and I've been told that diamonds reflect natural light better. :thinks:

Hey, that blank looks familiar! :banana:

Getting photos that do the blanks/pens justice is definitely a fun challenge. As Phil passed along, natural light does help quite a bit. I ended up cheating and hiring a professional for my stock photography but I realize that's not cost effective for individual items like pens. Videos usually do a little better at showcasing the signature sparkle actually. Something to consider if you're selling your pens somewhere that allows video.

Nicely turned! Looks good with the new Leveche! Guess I need to do something with my kit here.... Decisions Decisions...

Oh yea, diamond definitely stands out in the dark blue on that one! I was picking on Phil about the rainy weather the other day and I'm paying for it now... 3 days straight of rain headed my way. :goesred:
