Lara's ring!

LaraOnline Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,039 Last Post: 9/1/2009 Member Since: 2/25/2008	Hello all! The big moment has finally arrived for me, and I have a new respect for the fantastic photos that so many of you seem to accomplish... I do have a macro setting on my camera, but it just didn't seem to 'work'. And then the batteries ran out! I guess I'll try again tomorrow. Anyway, here is the shot I managed before the camera went 'beep'. I wanted to say a big thank you to Jogia Diamonds, in Perth linky I really couldn't possibly be any happier with the performance of my diamond, it's incredibly lively, my sister summed it up when she said she thought it was 'the prettiest diamond she's ever seen'! The ring is slightly tight, because I am a few weeks from giving birth...size H1/2 (I think around 4.25) Also, the setting is beautifully done, total quality!! I had a matching wedding band made up at the same time. I'm feeling like Goldilocks, for me the carat weight and the overall specs are juuust right... 1.11 F/SI1 And then a plank in reason broke...

LaraOnline Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,039 Last Post: 9/1/2009 Member Since: 2/25/2008	Hi girls!! Thanks for the well-wishes. Yes, I have to say I was rather surprised at how HARD it was to get a decent shot of the ring!! The profile is lovely, I am very happy with the prongs, and the diamond is set beautifully. The ring is really beautifully made!!! The shank is 2.5mm wide, the wedding band is 2.9mm wide. Initially, the ering was approx 3.25mm wide, and I asked Jogia to have it shaved back, I'm glad I did request that, as it is absolutely perfect now! sba771, Freke and somehow collide (love that name), thanks so much for the congrats, I feel like lots of exclamations myself!!!!!!! AJ, yes, I did get it appraised, with the lady you recommended actually (that is where Jogia usually send their work I think) came up double in retail value, which is nice. Actually, I didn't do anything, Jogia sent it out and collected it for me. I guess I missed out on 'the experience', and in a way it would be nice to be able to hear from the appraiser direct in relation to her opinion of the stone, but the convenience (with me living in the country) was kind of hard to go past. I really do feel that Jogia excelled here with this cut (from their Crossfire selection), it is an incredibly responsive stone!! Thanks Dandi, it WAS worth the wait, it sounds crazy to get so 'het up' over a silly piece of jewellery - and let's face it, it's not even 'the' engagement ring, in that I have been happily married for five years now - but it still was a real up-and-down ride. I have been seriously fixated on this for about a year, and for several months I honestly thought it just wasn't going to happen, I had 'given up' PS so many times!!! atroop this is my third child, and it's shaping up to be a... girl! My second girl. I am looking forward to it, I'm hoping I don't 'hit the wall' the way I kinda did with my second.... I totally agree, this is a totally special time in life, is it not? Lucky, lucky, lucky!!! Lorelei thank you so much for all your help. The diamond I initially posted on RT wasn't the one I ended up going with...but your assistance made me feel comfortable moving forward with Jogia Diamonds, and I truly feel that this 1.11 is something out of the box. I could / should put all the angles through the HCA (again) to see what the score is! I know it performed (even) better than the stone I initially brought to RT. And then a plank in reason broke...

Maisie,m I'll have to go back and have a look at your set! It's amazing how your tastes 'evolve' isn't it... I was surprised when I discovered I had actually selected a Tiffany style sol...

Your ring is gorgeous, stunning and perfect and I'm so glad you finally have it on your finger. Best of luck with the new addition to your family - I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on making the leap from 2 to 3, especially as I think your kids are the same age as mine. I'm only sorry you don't live in Perth as I'd love to think that one day when I'm in Perth visiting I'd be lucky enough to see you walking down the street with your gorgeous new ring. Speaking of husbands - what does yours think of the bling?

Just beautiful. Simple, elegant, and yummy gold. Love it. Congrats, on both bling and baby! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
