Hi all,
I have to say that PS has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. I''ve been lurking for months, and it''s so much fun ogling all the fabulous treasures. For a while I didn''t know if I was kind of turned off by the competition inherent in such a website, or if it was a wonderful opportunity to unabashedly check out other ladies'' jewelry. (I kind of get creeped out when people grab my hand and inspect my ring.) But I''ve just concluded that it''s simple fun. You can gawk at the bling without the pressure of sales people, too. How else can you scratch the itch to see diamonds at 2 in the afternoon at the office or late at night? As for competitiveness, well, that exists whether you''re on a website or not, right? Besides, as my mother always told me, be happy with what you have. There''s always going to be someone with more and less than you.
That said, here''s my ring. Sweetheart and I got engaged in January, and I couldn''t be happier with the ring. There weren''t any clandestine shopping trips or pilfered rings from my jewelry box; it was all very thoughtfully done. Some of my friends think it unromantic that I went with the fiance to choose the ring. But then again, I''m totally satisfied with mine, even though the ring wasn''t "sprung" on me. And they had a lovely surprise, but they''re thinking of resettings and upgrades already. We all just need to do this the way that works for us, right?
For most of my adult life, I''ve been a princess fan. But when I saw my first asscher up close, I was hooked. I''m a deeply nerdy girl, and the idea of squares within squares really caught my fancy. Initially I planned for a very contemporary setting with a low profile and brushed platinum, but I opted for this higher one, which I believe lets more light reach it. Don''t get me wrong, I still love the princess. Sweetheart gave me a 3 stone princess pendant for Christmas last year. I''ll post it sometime, too.
I don''t think my image will post nicely, the dialog box kept telling me to reduce the file size, even though I know I was well within the size limit. I suspect these are going to be sad little pictures. Let''s see how this turns out and I''ll try again later.
Anyway, I''m glad to become an official member of the community. It''s nice to meet you all.
