Re: Help please with this selection

Thanks, appreciate the input. This stone is already above he budget. I was trying to stretch everything to get the size and quality I want. I will check it out further.. I can't go over 25K, this doesn't leave much for the ring, but I want simple. I'm checking on line all the time, so something else...

Re: Help please with this selection

Any comments??

I told the seller I wouldn't take it if I couldn't return it, I want my appraiser to look at it. They have agreed.. So that's one step closer, but would like to hear from others on the forum.

Appreciate your time.

Help please with this selection

So I started out looking for an OEC, didn't find what I wanted, then I saw this stone at a show this weekend. Of course I love the way it sparkles.. YUM... The cert. is from EGL US, a little concerning. However I can not see anything in this stone, it's eye clean to me. I can see the arrows with my ...

Re: Questionable OEC

I have looked at the eBay offerings, I would consider an eBay buy. The seller Moradi in LaJolla, seems to have a few.. It would be worth a trip down. I have spoken with SingleStone, and would consider Good Old Gold too. Actually I'm open as long as they have a good reputation on PriceScope. :-) What...

Re: let's talk blenders, specifically Vitamix

Recently purchased the BlendTec, they sell them at Costco events. It was a toss up between the BlendTec & Vitamix. There is a lot of information on the internet comparing them. I went with the BlendTec as it's easier to clean. Does everything with the same container too. Vitamix has 2 different ...

Wedding ring too tight

I purchased a non sizable wedding ring, tension! While I love the ring, it can not be sized. The cost to remake the ring is twice what I paid for it. I know gold has gone up! So anyone have any ideas on how to reduce ones finger size a little? I know loosing a lot of weight would probably help, but ...

Have you tried on an oval? If it''s not to fancy of a cut, it could elongate your finger.

I use Evo too! I haven''t noticed behavior like this in my cats or dogs, mind you they are all middle age now. I miss those fun unexpected moments.
