Re: Show Me Your Diamond Studs!
Ladies, Thank you for your lovely comments. As usual, you are too kind. :)) :)) I am not starting a standalone thread, mom2boys, I am afraid, sorry....super busy at the moment and I'd feel bad if I were to start a thread and not have time to respond properly to all the kind compliments. The H doesn'... |

Re: Final AVR comparison...2.12 and 2.29 I VS1
DS, you certainly don't need to justify your spending. It is your money, your biz and no one else's beeswax!! I agree with GemFever, you've handled that response very graciously, which speaks volumes as to who you are; and which is why you're so well respected around here. :appl: (I must admit to be... |

Re: Final AVR comparison...2.12 and 2.29 I VS1
Purple silk- are u serious? This is a diamond forum. What do you mean CZ and spend money elsewhere? You may adore DS but by those comments I dont think you do. I think an apology is required. I agree with Greg, this is indeed a diamond forum, not one that advocates CZ's. Purplesilk, DS is one of th... |

Re: Do you answer your door?
I usually do but I really dislike guests who don't call first. I think it is rude. We don't usually get solicitors or religious people going door to door in either place we live. When my dh and I first started dating his friends at the beach would just show up without calling. I hated it. Over the ... |

Circe, I am very late to this thread but wanted to chime in to say sorry and hope you get, at the very least, a refund from the original jeweller; and also to wish you luck and hope GOG can fix your ring for you. |

I'm glad you're back Phoenix. I feel like too many people have been thinking about leaving and it makes me sad.

Re: The "Spirit" of PS
Aww, Ginger, that is a sincere apology. I think there had been other posts of a similar nature before that, and it was just probably an accumulation of them that upset Phoenix.

I am not a regular poster like most of you, but I have been reading many posts here over the past few months to try to learn more about settings.

Re: The "Spirit" of PS
There could be a few things: some know the past history while others don't. Some can stay objective and some let emotions creep in. Some are tactful and some give it straight up.

Re: Updated Celebrity Rings!!!
http://www.pricescope.com/files/images/mariah_111728.jpg Thanks for the pics. Looks like she has a pink halo around her centre EC as well as around two cushion sidestones. Is that right? Personally, I think she shouldn't have halo'ed them or alternatively not add the sidestones. But what do I know,... |

Mariah Carey's ring please? It has a honking EC in the centre but the details are rather blurry on TV (American Idol). And any ring(s) of Victoria Beckham's please? This girl has soooo many large stones! Thank you. |

Re: Dis You get Insurance for your diamond??? Waste of money
I insure most of my jewellery as I wear most of them. Whatever I don't insure, I keep in the bank safety deposit box. At just slightly over 1%, I consider this worthwhile; in fact it's essential. |

Re: 5.14ct H VS1Cushion Brilliant - please give me your thou
Judging by the one picture, I would pass. It reminds me of my diamond (albeit mine is much, much smaller) -- in certain lighting, a band of all white or all dark facets runs across the middle. I would not want that quirk in a 5+ carat diamond. Must be brief as posting from dubai airport. The band o... |

Re: 5.14ct H VS1Cushion Brilliant - please give me your thou
No, it's not a diamond terminology as far as I know. Just look at it, the center looks muddy and fuzzy. My oec never looks like that. Every facet is sharp and clean even though it only has "good" symmetry. If you're spending that much money, it better look crisp! I still am not too sure w... |
