I went crazy and bought a rock that I''ve had on hold for the past 2 months.  It was only yesterday that I finalized everything hoping that there would be better stones out there.  It turns out anything better, I''ll be broke.  =P


Thanks for GIRAUX (Giraux.com) at the Jewelry Market in San Francisco.  They had great selections and customer service!  Other than DERCO, I would highly recommend GIRAUX. (Pronounces Gee-Row)

It''s in a temporary setting for now.  Giraux us to go back within 3 months to get a permanent setting.  You can already see my oily fingers on the platinum setting.
