dreamer_dachsie Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,563 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/16/2007	I sized them the same and created a side-by-side comparison. Granted, this isn't the most accurate comparison but I had hoped my new stone would look a lot bigger then my old, and they look pretty similar in these pics... * Dreamer *

onvacation Cut Rock Total Posts: 500 Last Post: 10/29/2009 Member Since: 11/9/2007	Hmm, it looks pretty big to me! I had to rub my tired eyes to make sure it was 1.17ct, because from the pics I thought it was 1.71ct, before I scrolled down to read the rest. I looove the clean look. I'm sure you'll notice the size difference once it is on your hand!

I'm sure you'll notice the size difference once it is on your hand! Thanks! I think you are right, it looks bigger! I suspect that it looked so much larger to you in the first shot because the band is so slim on the legato sleek line. It really does make diamonds POP! * Dreamer *

Congrats! tee hee tyty... you are a true PSer now! The "quality" of the cut is indeed better, but I went down in both color and clarity! I think most people would think I was loopy I must admit I am a little nervous about the color. Although I am not typically one to care what others think, it would still be a little embarassing if people could see too much tint and thought my diamond was the evil yellow... I'm sure it won't look much different than my J, which was plenty white in the vast majority of situations, but I still worry a little. Its funny, I like the warmth of the lower colored stones, but it is still hard not to think about how it will be seen by the public who don't appreciate those colors generally. * Dreamer *

Any chance to see her first grandchild and she is all over it! * Dreamer ***

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Look at the bottom pics of the comparison shot, you can really tell the difference there. Looks just loverly Miss dd! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "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."

So...did you do anything with your original ER sapphire? Yes, I am still attached to your old old ER hugs!

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Date: 5/11/2009 9:51:26 AM Author: steph72276 I think it will be much bigger. Is it in the same setting? Did they have to make a new head? That is one of my favorite settings ever! Can't wait to see handshots! They were able to use the same setting by changing out the head to accommodate the larger diamond. The diamond went from a diameter of 6.06 to a diameter of 6.78 so they needed to remake the whole basket. It only cost $125 so much better than getting a new setting! This will be the last upgrade in this setting though Any larger and I will have to get a new one altogether! * Dreamer *

The three stone was actually an upgrade from my original e-ring anyway. So my sapphire has gone back into my original engagement ring setting, which is a WG split shank. It is being sized now so I will post some pictures when I get it back! * Dreamer *
