Here is my favorite video showing your 3.75 M...one of my favorite videos on GOG too. I've been waiting for someone to get that great stone.

Madelise- I will have to do some snooping on SN Queens - I had not heard of them until this thread.
And yes, we will/have been looking at OECs though I think most of the stones I like the most have been trannies. I am a fan of that 2.04 at JBEG but I (1)have no desire to pay for clarity I cant see and (2) haven't seen an EGL L in person. The lowest I have seen was probably a K..it was some strange lab cert. I really need to put myself out there more locally to see more in person but I've been busy! When the time comes, I will likely make a nice big RT/Antiques thread - dont wanna sidetrack this thread anymore! I hope to be seeking the help of you experts soon :naughty:

yes! I can't believe it's been sitting in their inventory for a year! It's not a 3.75.. just .02 short. I kept trying to make it gain weight at the appraisal.. darn thing won't fatten up! LOL!
Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?

The first person to post on PS about them was Athenaworth. I just went today for my 2nd appointment with them, and I got to bring in the diamond. She found a few warmer colored single cut melee to lay next to it for me to see the color lack-of-contrast.. and she was able to take my scribble-y drawings and turn them into more realistic drawings of what I want to get made. I got a price quote that has a $500 range depending on the total carat weight of the melee stones. The price I got quoted for the setting, which will include more carat weight than the quote I got from VC, is about 1k cheaper. That $$ is going to be going towards my matching WB :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: And now that gorgeous eternity I bought from Armywife will officially be a RHR/pointer finger ring. hehee.

Alright PS-world, sorry for the delay, I've been super stressed out with picking up extra shifts at work now that I'm on a week long break from school. I gotta make back some $$ that I've blown on this thing since we went over budget by quite an amount!

I'm going to do a proper photoshoot tomorrow with the SO. I'm not really DSLR-savvy. I'm going to go out and buy some yummy nom noms to take photos with.. Any ideas and recommendations? My stone is an M so I'm going to do a "M is for mmMmmmMm.." thread.. and I want to take photos of the stone with some gorgeous and COLORFUL mini cupcakes.. french macarons.. any other ideas? :love: :love: I want COLORFUL and yummy looking props. And then after I finish the photoshoot, I will have a happy belly too :wink2:



I seriously have the awesomestesterest setting that's going to be starting in the works tomorrow, after I drop off a deposit. I am so excited to share everything with you guys.

Ohhh she's stunning in pink :bigsmile: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I vote you just tape her to your finger while you figure the setting out. Take your time - she's just as gorgeous nekkid as she will be set!!!
