Starzin,
You know my personality; I'm not the type to settle. ;)) This is why it takes me forever to decide on a setting. I like to feel as though it is money well spent as I dislike spending $$$ only to realize that it's too blingy, too plain, too this or too that for me and then never wear it or have to sell it later. I'm a forever kind of person. It's a modern tiara. :cheeky: Out with the old and in with the new!

Freke,
Yes, I am a stubborn old person so I stuck to my guns with the coloured metal. I've been such a PITA with this project that I wouldn't be surprised that JJ would never want to work with me again. :bigsmile:

Pregcurious,
Glad you approve. :praise:

Evangeline and TheCat,
Thank you for following the trials and tribulations of this project.

Kroshka,
The oval FCD is my most prized FCD. It makes me smile every time I look at it even though I'm not a pink person.

Petit Bijou, LK and AsscherHaloL,
Thank you for the kind words.

Maccers,
Trust me, I'm impatient to get and wear the ring too. Another week or so!

Chrono - the stones, the design process, and all the love and thought that have been put into this from you and the pricescope collective - it's just beautiful. Forgive me if I missed it somewhere in the thread or forgot, but what are the details on your lovely pink? I never used to be a big fan of pink but over the years the color has really grown on me.

Kroshka,
I don't recall whether I've started a thread specifically for it but the oval is a 0.27 ct GIA graded FIPP with SI2 clarity.

No, you don't settle and more power to you for your patience because what it means is, in the end you do get what you want and will love and most importantly, will wear.

In this whole exercise I've admired your ability to hold your vision and even though there was a point when it was almost "It's not coming together this time either so I'll just move it to the back-burner", we managed to fire you up again to believe it was possible this time :))

And again when the new CAD designer came on board and there were all those "realities" to face about the Russian styling, you had the ability to digest it and accept and adjust the vision when this design possibility was presented. That, I think is admirable so kudos to you :appl:

I can't wait for the carved version - it's getting to nail-biting time - and yes, you've managed to create a modern tiara ring!!

Chrono I haven't commented because there are PAGES to wade through but I've just seen the wax you've posted and it's absolutely stunning. It reminds me of a French royal piece. Gorgeous and can't wait to see it.

I haven't seen anything myself and unfortunately, I have no choice but to ask JJ to ship next week since I'm on the road again this week.

So sad for you having to wait.

Good reason to ask for the sneak preview/glamour shots then - they can't make you wait to get it in hand first... they just CAN'T!!

Besides - there's a hundred people on this thread waiting to see it with you :bigsmile:

I pleaded with sad puppy eyes and I think pictures are forthcoming tomorrow. I was advised though that pictures do it no justice. Be still my heart!

Yes, Ma'am! :lol: I'll see if I can do this via cell phone. IOS8 is driving me crazy and I'm almost ready to swear off Apple products. I haven't even had a proper look at the pictures myself yet!

iOS8 sucks, doesn't it?

It looks lovely! When do you get it? What do you think?
