The ring will be here Thursday morning. I asked Wink to hold on to the stone for me just in case I wanted to upgrade. :silenced: I was hoping for a 2.80-2.90ct CBI to show up, but like Wink said it would be almost impossible to find a CBI in that range, b/c other cutters will use the same rough to cut a deep 3+ ct stone. Anyway, after waiting for 7 weeks I decided it was time to set the stone. Here is a U-tube video of the ring.

So glad you will finally have a diamond back on your finger! It is gorgeous! The setting makes me nervous - like riding on a wild roller coaster - but it is just as exhilarating! It is really beautiful and I can't wait to see hand shots. Congrats and Merry Christmas to you - will certainly be a blingy one for you!! :appl::appl:

Glad to see that you can put it in titanium. I’m putting that idea in the brainstorming box.:)

Haha. I'm such a clutz I wouldn't even want to try on a setting like that lest I trip on the carpet in front of the jewelry case and make a huge spectacle... hurting the diamond in the process. This is so beautiful and raw though!

@Dancing Fire , Your ring is spectacular. Can’t wait to this beauty on your hand. FYI my neices all loved diamonds when they were small. Be careful. The four year old asked if she could keep my ring in her purse for a little while. She said she liked my diamond better than the diamond she got at Claire’s.

Oh my gosh, you finally did it, you joined the CBI family....I can't wait to see read your thoughts on the stone once you receive it, especially in light of the fact that you've had other beautiful stones. I'm marking my calendar to check back on Thursday.....Merry Christmas to YOU. What's the wife getting??? :lol:

I pretty much know what to expect from a CBI stone. :love: I pick 3 CBI stones for 3 of my friends, and have had seen 2 of them IRL. :love:. My wife ain't getting nothing. IMO, She have enough diamonds. This is a replacement for the Octavia that I sold in April.

I'm too cheap to go PT in case I do an upgrade in the future. I don't wanna scrap a $4K PT setting.
Glad to see you are planning ahead!

I know...I'll just be interested to see your comparative thoughts after you've lived with it for a while.

My understanding is that both the Octavia and CBIs major on amazing light performance and fire, with the Octavia basically being designed to perform as well as an awesome MRB - so if the two are comparable, an Octavia is definitely on my Want list :D
