It looks amazing. Since we discussed costs elsewhere I know I am not the only one who would like to know the final price for this mount, if you can share.

I don't mind sharing, but I know they worked (significantly) with me on my budget so I do want to check with them first, before posting it on a public forum.

Okay, I talked to David and the "stock" price for requesting something like this would be ~5500.
VC was 6k incl 0.24ctw in sidestones, so same league price-wise.

I don't feel comfortable sharing what I personally paid on here as the circumstances were unusual, but the above is what people care about anyway

Why do you think they were so willing to work within your budget Yssie? Any good tips?

Haha sympathy? Portfolio Project? Thrill of the chase? Some combination thereof?

In all seriousness - I think most PS vendors are willing to do what they can with a PSer's budget and situation, especially if it's a repeat customer or maybe if the project is an especially good business move for some reason. Realities of the vendor/customer relationship and what not Me, at this point I've found all the vendors I need so I'll stick to those few for my future projects, no need for any more experimenting...

Wait, earrings??? What did I miss? What kind of earrings? A twelve hour drive isn't so bad if it means you get to see your pretties a few days earlier! Anxiously awaiting your reaction and the photos!

Seriously! Why on earth doesn't DH agree with me?


I got these lil' guys set! ~2.5ctw, into 8prong martinis like Bliss' old studs

whoa!!!

I *just* added some pics of the earrings to the SMTB thread
They look GIGANTIC in the 8prong settings - my daily earrings are 0.1ctw baby bezels, I feel so odd wearing them!!
