Now a little about working with Wink.
For the most part everything was great but if you want to get the best results use email or call him. He seemed a little frustrated by the pm system here not saving copies of what he sent. He seemed real busy and with business sure to pick up after his new website goes live he needs to streamline things a little. He ended up getting in atleast 3 other diamonds before getting a great one. But it looks like he did :} I will post an update when I get it in hand in a few days, Finding great diamonds in this size isnt easy unless you go with whiteflash and I wanted a local guy that I have do all my jewlery do the setting and they dont sell theirs lose. Overall I give Wink 9 stars out of 10 rating. No vender has ever got a 10 so dont take that as a bad thing :} Id buy from him again with no hesitation. Id like to give an honorable mention to diamondexpert who was a great help in my search for a diamond. I will be buying more gemstones from him in the future. edit to add> Thinking about this post I think I was a little critical but not sure how to put it other than to say over all Im very happy with his services and am looking forward to getting the diamond in hand :} |

This is a really bad photoshop drawing that I did up to show my designer he has guarenteed that it wont look anything like these pictures other than in the general idea.
size 14 I have short huge fingers so that us why its narrow compared to most designs and will be low because I have my hands in and out of computers all day which is also the reason for the bezel setting. I like the look of bezels anyway so it works out :}

Cool, is it in gold or platinum? Like to see pics when done. I hate wearing rings so I just wear a light Boone titanium band. My original is heavier gold and I don't find it as comfortable. But who knows, I may get used to ring and something like that looks pratical. Oh, Jennifer I'm just thinking, I've got a few months till Christmas!

strmrdr, yes, Wink ran off to 8* land after I left him a large deposit last Friday. Glad to read that you had a positive experience with Wink. My conversations with him have been quite enjoyable and he seems like a really nice guy. Now I am patiently waiting for my new bauble from him too. The suspense is killing me.

LOL! Go to conference, get REAL busy when you return, no time to play and miss a thread full of nice things.
Thanks to you all for the nice commments. I will take a nine out of ten any day, it means that all of the things that I downgraded on my own scale went unnoticed. Some things it is nice when they don't show up to the other side of the transaction, like the things I said to my vendor when the first batch of stones showed up. We got that little missunderstanding cleared up... I did tell Storm rider that there would be a one day delay while I had more stones shipped in. My biggest challenge was getting such a small stone to stay in the lighting hole that Gary makes in his light sorce for the Ideal Scope. The hole was almost big enough to let the diamond fall through, and it sure did not want to sit level to have its picture taken! Of course just about the worst thing of all is that Sheila is gone this week and I am having to do every thing by myself. Man, THAT REEKS!!! Fortuneately my wife is coming in in the afternoons to help me with the mail and the phones, but I am still a hundred or so emails in the hole and I have not even had time to listen to my phone messages yet. It will be a work weekend, dang, I really hate that! Madam flutist, I think by the end of next week you will be making beautiful music! I am informed that some of your SI1's are in fact VS2's and of course the russian cutting will make your piece a true treasure to behold! It was well worth the extra day's wait for me to get the extra parcel in to my benchman for him to choose from. As soon as I have it here for final inspection you will receive pictures of your new heirloom! Now this tired travelor is going to go to bed, well maybe I will take a quick peak at the Hangout and Colored Stone boards... Wink |

Hehehe I was at work and Im a professional computer geek so the cord was handy :} Im glad you like it, its my design :} Not that it hasnt been done before but it isnt available as a setting. I will be posting a little write up on designing your own ring on a budget soon. Looking at it im thinking the 2 ruby idea would be awesome the kewl thing is I can add them at anytime maybe for one of our anniversaries. |

Hey, what a great looking ring! When I called my guy about not getting the H&A that I wanted in the first batch I made a point of telling him to get me a great stone. It is hard to grade those smaller stones for color, but it could possibly be a low F. I promised you G-H for sure, if I over delivered then that is okay, I hope...  Wink |

Its just fine :} I love the ring and the diamond. Thank you. I do know that I couldnt see a hint of color when I looked at it against the white paper you sent it in. I just thought it was an interesting comment. The guy I had build the ring is kind of interesting, never heard of a firescope and doesnt seem to really care that much about diamonds. But loves working with the metal and does totaly awesome work. He just mounts what the stores send him for 99.99% of his business. |
