EDITTED TO ADD: PLEASE DO NOT USE MY PHOTOS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

Hi!

I registered here a few months ago, and check in here every once in a while, but didn't post until earlier tonight. I thought I'd share my favorite rings (for those who haven't seen them posted on another site).

Here is my biggest ring (2.28 ct. center, I/SI2, 3.22 ct. band):



My original ering diamond, that has been remounted in a Sakamoto setting (.99 ct. center I/SI2, .52 ct. band):


My anniversary gift last year (1.77 ct. asscher I/IF, .60 ct band):


Pear shaped solitaire (2.01 ct., K/IF):


Antique style ring (1.64 ct. center, J/SI1, 1.34 ct. band):


Yellow diamond ring (1.12 ct. center, Y-Z/SI1, .52 trills.):


Eternity band in platinum (3.20 ct.):

Hi MA and welcome!  You rings are all beautiful.  I love the surprise diamond on the WF ring, and I've been looking forward to seeing your pear when you have it set with the side pears.

Hi there MaryAlaina. It's nice to see you over here. Your rings are gorgeous. I think right now my favorite is the Asscher. I love that setting!

Yay! There is a ring for every syle and shape among yours! The pear looks particularly intriguing to me. I hope there is a picture of it on your hand (searching site right now). The stone is charming, regardless.

Thanks for the treat

Great web site! I love your rings, especially the assher with the pave band and the pear (I have a pear so I ampartial :-)... but had a thought ... have you considered trading in a few of the other rings in your jewelry box (WOW, what a collection!!!!!!!!) for another whopper of a stone? Not that any of the others are shabby ... you've got some pretty big whoppers there to begin with!!!!

You've got an amazing jewlery collection I can only aspire to!!!!

Edited to ad: By the way, where did you get the IF Pear if I amy ask?

I found it here on pricescope, and purchased it through Whiteflash.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Oh Mary I never tire of seeing your collection. It is good to see you again. I really miss our shopping expeditions. Sending you a big hug and welcome to Pricescope. How much longer till the European vacation? I had thought you were there now until recently. Have you gotten your travel rings sorted out?

We leave in the beginning of June, as soon as the kids are out of school. No, I haven't figured out the travel ring thing yet. I originally had Wink mount a H&A octagonal stone in an octet setting, but I have him use a lightest yellow stone, and now I'm wishing I had him set a white one instead. So, I may send it back and have him do that. I"m also looking at some diamond mountings on ebay that I'm considering setting an interlap in. I just think it looks SO much more realistic if you have a nice/heavy/diamond-laden mounting.

Anyway, I am SO excited about our trip and can not wait!

She is my love! She follows me around the house all day and is just the sweetest thing. Of course, she is very entertaining too, and always has me laughing. The cat you are considering looks a lot like her, except Jamba isn't tabby on her body (just face, legs and tail).

Aren't they just the best? One of my cats in particular gets so excited when I come home (more so than my husband...lol) that he does the same thing...he runs around in a zig zag right in front of me....I'm surprised I haven't already tripped and gone through the wall like the kool-aid-man. My little princess on the other hand is like my shadow...she's timid, but always one step behind me! My big fat Scotty is a dog trapped in a cats body I think! Anyhoo- bless your heart for taking in a shelter cat! I'll never pay for an animal when there are so many homeless ones out there! Back to diamonds....

Harry,
I see you are new here. Not to offend you, but in case you don't know, it is bad internet etiquette to use all capital letters. Also, I am in CA and, while I appreciate the offer, I will not be visiting any showrooms in VA. I have been able to find plenty of gorgeous jewels easily online.
