Congrats to Andelain and Tyty as well! Should be lots of fun for all!

Thanks everyone! This is really an incredible opportunity to see the most special diamond I'll probably ever see outside of a museum! I hope we get to meet the people from Embee diamonds, too, in addition to meeting and seeing WF and PS friends! I actually watched some of the live cutting, because Neil Beaty told me about it as he was going to see it while doing an appraisal for me!

TL, If you send me a ticket I will keep an eye on her for you!
It might be very cost-effective

You might be right about that Jimmianne.

Maybe Dancing Fire will buy you a ticket. Sounded like he was pretty disappointed not to be able buy everyone dinner.

Cost effective for WF? Or for our ACA collections?

[tyty333]

Thank you MissGotRocks and Jeweln and everyone else for your kind words...I'm getting so excited!

Can't believe Ms. Esperanza is "in-house". Whiteflash takes such lovely pictures too. I'm sure she's not a hard
canidate to photograph!

Cant wait to meet her in person!


Edit - Love the "Made In America" emblem as she truly was made in America!

pick up a few for me while you are there OK?
I am getting ACA fever for a solitaire once again. A little late you might say, Andelain, but life is full of possibilities.
{I do have some ACA's, but if you could send me a nice 2+ct it would be much appreciated]. Thanks in advance!

You mean you're not coming to help me out?

Guess I'll have to carry my largest purse!

The stills and promotional look fabulous! Will the Esperanza be displayed promoted for awhile at WF?

Unfortunately, just a few days. She goes to Florida next week for one final stop before the bidding ends. If she goes into a private collection, this may be the last opportunity for the public to see her. That's why we are so excited to have been able to arrange for a few passionate members of this community to make the pilgrimage.

We truly wish we could have made it happen for everyone who expressed the interest.
