I am so relieved ( and happy!)

Wonderful news!  Good luck!

Congrats to you!! Can''t wait to see pictures!!

YEA FOR YOU!!!! I am glad to hear everythign worked out allright and I cannot wait to see you finished ring!

So glad to hear that you were dealt with kindly.  What does the stock ring you ordered look like?  Can you describe it?  I''m glad things are working out for you and this project!

What a nice outcome you had today, that''s very good news!!!  So what does the stock ring look like??  I can''t wait to see it, I''m sure it will be beautiful.

Well the ring I picked is a pave'' halo, with a 4 prong. It doesn''t have a "head" sunk in like my old one, it has 4 prongs attatched to the pave edge, and the pave'' is on more of a level plain. It could be compared to the micro pave on DCD but, the shank is a double row of pave'' with a "knife edge" between the two rows. Make sense? It doesn''t match my wedding ring AT ALL but I don''t care. I love the ring.

FIRE............Any news from you????

**DEEP BREATH**  I have my ring. 

Halle-freaking-lujah. 

It''s awesome, it''s wonderful, I love it. 

I will take lots of pics this weekend. 

Just one minor thing needs to be tweaked - the pear is slightly tilted in its setting.  The table therefore is not parallel to the ground, but slightly tilted to one side.  No one but me notices it, but I definitely do.  If I never told you, you''d never know it.  I''m going to wear it this weekend and enjoy it, take lots of pics, and then bring it back Tuesday for them to set it straight.  And then run like hell from that place. 

Yeah for both of you!!!   FINALLY it's over! (or close to being over )

Oh Fire I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I can not wait to see pics!. You must be so happy. Enjoy your weekend with your pear in it''s new home!

Yay for the two of you.  Fire so glad they finally did it right, can''t wait to see it!!  Enjoy it this weekend, get it set straight then run like hel*!!!

I''m so glad it all worked out. Can''t wait to see pics of your new ring

We''re still holding our breath for this pics FireGoddess hehe

Yeah Firegoddess, what gives!!! I logged on expecting to see pics!

Anything like this:

Oh I just love that setting!!!

I"m so happy that everything went so good!!!  I def. think you did the right thing by going back to the store, and getting what you really wanted.  You would have never been able to stand looking down at a ring you didn''t absolutely LOVE!!  Can''t wait to see pics!

I agree Sweet! It is just scary knowing I could have walked in there and things could have gone so differently. I am not a pesimist but a realist!!!
Val, YES the shank of my new ring will be VERY similar to that ring, with the pave'' halo. Where is that ring from? I think the only diff. may be that the diamonds in the pave'' on the ring I picked look smaller, but it just might be the way the pic was taken. Thank you for posting that.

I''m glad everything is going to work out!  Can''t wait to see the finished product!

I like the look you''re going for with the new setting!  I hope the 3 weeks or so you have to wait fly by.  Did they take the ring (and your stone) back or are you wearing that until the new setting comes in?


ps. I think you guys saw the thread of the new ring in SMTR, so I''m off the hook with the pictures!
