Ber with me. Too many photos and too much work (remove logos and resize). Will take a while to complete. Be patient.

Purchase #4 - 2-mm platinum band

I finally took the plunge and purchased this band to protect my ering from other stacking rings (perhaps a 7-stone or 9-stone ring in the future?

).

This band is really comfortable. Now, I no longer worry about diamonds damaging diamonds and metal.

The 2-mm spacing is sufficent. Even when my ering occasionally gets squeezed and lands on top of the band, the center stone is still not touching (but almost) the adjacent diamonds.

The stacking combo is heavy. I am thinking about getting either a 7-stone or 9-stone ring with smaller diamonds, so the stones better match my ering stones.

I want to thank Vera for her help in making the platinum band possible for me.

Purchase #5 originated form bluemoon''s gifts to her sister and sister-in-law. It started out as a stock item, but smart Tracy has the ingenious idea of making the item more interesting and more substantial looking (and durable to our taste). The addition was so good that bluemoon kept talking about it. Meanwhile, I was looking high and low for a home (ring or pendant setting) for my old ering diamond. I considered every possible choice (solitaire settings, fancier solatire settings, round HOF halo, square halo, and etc.), but nothing made me feel excited. Then, the thought came to me that I could set my RB in this setting, so I drew a sketch to check appearance and proportion.

Wow! Your rings are incredible! I need to get a 2mm (or I was thinking 1.5mm) ring to go inbetween mine. Dont know why I keep
putting it off.

I think a 7 stone or 9 stone that went from the start of one pear to the end of the other pear would look perfect with your
ering.

The price of the setting is really good for the amount of diamonds one gets - 21x0.05ct ACA melees. Here is Whiteflash''s pretty photo. Note that the chains are double, per Tracy''s ingenious idea. The double chains provide the durability and go very well with the pendant design.

My RB is 1.02ct, F VVS2.

The double chains are not easy to implement. One needs to consider possibility of twisting. In addition, production has to take special care about even lengths of the chains. Leon is really smart. He figured out a way to attach the chains.

Here is another Whiteflash photo for the entire view of the necklace.

Lovely collection. Your set is very blingy and looks great on. I''m glad the plain band reduces the damage.

Thank you fellow PSers for your kind and encouraging comments.

Back from dinner. Ready to upload home taken photos.

First, to give some perspective about the size. The pendant has a diameter of about 19.5mm, and my RB has a diameter of about 6.6mm. Here is a photo of my Circle of Life pendant necklace next to my dbty pear pendant necklace.

Layered with my dbty necklace to give more bling and change the look to something fancier. Do you think they go?

I think they can as long as what your wearing them with is kept simple with no busy patterns or fussy details around the neck. Very nice.

Gorgeous, elegant necklace - love the double chain! Looks beautiful on its own and also pairs nicely with your pear DBTY for a blingier look. Thanks for sharing photos.

Everything you have shown is beautiful. I love the spacer ring idea for your set. The necklaces are spectacular.

WF does a wonderful job.

Purchase #6 - Tennis Bracelet
38x15-pt ACA diamonds in 14K white gold. 6.5 inches in length.

Got the idea from bluemoon. Never thought that I would buy a diamond bracelet. She convinced me. Now, I am glad that I took her advice. My heart pounded the same way when I got my first ACA diamond ring. Photos cannot do justice and cannot capture the beauty accurately.

As usual. the Whiteflash beauty shots first.

Yes! I think they go beautiful together, especially on that white sweater.

Another wrist shot.

The length is good, but 2 more links (6.8 inches total length) are still OK.
