I LOVE your gray diamond!

 

[stepcutnut]

What fun additions to your every growing collection! Do you have plans for any of them yet?

 

[PumpkinPie]

the champagne cushion is gorgeous! I want them all

 

[PumpkinPie]

if you can''t decide what to do with them, I''d be happy to take one or two off your hands

 

[Cind11]

Wow, beautiful diamonds and really neat photos! I especially love the orangey yellow pear.

LTP, thank you! You have an amazing jewelry collection, so that means a lot to me.

Brandi, thanks again! Your post made me laugh!

Crasru, thanks again! That stone in your avatar is beautiful. Do you have a thread for it?

Mr. Ma Re, thank you! I value your opinion, so that means a lot that you like the cushion.

Karpouzi, thank you! May I ask what that stone is in your avatar? It''s beautiful, and really unique!

Stepcutnut, thank you! That stone in your avatar is gorgeous! Is it a tourmaline?

Maevie, thank you! I know champagne diamonds aren''t everyone''s cup of tea, but I''m glad you like it! Are those pearl earrings on your avatar? By the way your post made me laugh. I''ll have to use some of your pieces as collateral. How about it?

Cind, thank you! Your avatar is adorable, is that your cat? I''ve been wanting a yellow pear for such a long time. I still can''t believe I have one!

Burberrygirl, thank you! Everytime I see that ring on your avatar, I just drool. What a gorgeous stone! Is that a cabochon emerald?

I love it!!! They are so pretty! I can''t wait to see them in a setting, TOTAL EYE CANDY!!

Thanks for the kind words, mochi! You have an amazing collection, so that means a lot. HOw''s Mellow Yellow? Did he settle down yet or is he still having fun with the groupies?

You should definitely give colored diamonds a try!

My LOGR settings shipped today!!! I should get them by next week!

All of them were upgraded to 18K gold and H VS2 diamonds. I didn't want to take any chances and have to send them back.

First up, the setting for the 1.05 round grayish yellow. 18KYG head, 18KWG shank with milgrain.

 

[platinumrock]

This is for the 1.02 champagne cushion. 18KRG head, 18KWG shank with milgrain.

TL''s malaya/blue spinel 18KRG setting was my inspiration.

 

[platinumrock]

This is for the .92 orangy yellow pear. 18KYG head, 18KWG shank.

Chrono''s red pear spinel setting was my inspiration.

 

[packrat]

They''re all gorgeous but ohh I dig the color on that pear!

 

[platinumrock]

Last one, I promise!

This is for the 3.17 grayish yellowish green. 18KRG head, 18KWG shank with milgrain.

Yingh's pink tourmaline LOGR lotus setting was my inspiration. I love the 6 prong head!

ETA: Sorry about the ginourmous pic! I forgot to resize it. Can I still delete it?

 

[chrono]

Ooh, I can''t wait to see them all set; they are going to look great!

You lucky duck!! I''m so jealous!!

Those settings are beautiful, and you were really smart to upgrade everything.

Packrat, thank you!

Chrono, I can''t wait to see them either! Thanks for the encouragement, I need it since this is my first time with LOGR.

TL, you crack me up!! LOL! I''m jealous of your ENTIRE collection.

Thanks for the kind words! I hope I will be able to find a jeweler as great as yours.

Yingh, your post made me laugh!

Thank you, and I especially love your spess ring. It''s so beautiful with the yellow gold halo!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Kelpie, Virgoruby and TL, thank you! I am on pins and needles waiting for DHL to come next week. I already left a note on my door in case I miss their delivery.

I finally took a family pic with Peachy.

Top Row, left to right: Peachy and Olive
Middle Row, left to right: Ms. N (round grayish yellow), Sunny (pear orangy yellow) and Korbel (cushion champagne)
Bottom: Heath (cognac)
Peachy and Olive are also expecting another bundle of bling, a .63 intense pear yellow-orange. She should arrive next week as well!

 

[platinumrock]

Last one! It''s a bit blurry, but I like how it plays up Peachy and Olive''s color.
