hey there sweetie
35.gif



I have been in an out of your thread - wow!!! It''s a long one hehe :) But after reviewing your pictures and kind words to everyone that have been posting on your lovelies, I starting to gaze and I have ring envy! :)


you know, your ring/diamond is the reason why that bigger isn''t always better. That sometimes, a little thing catches your eyes and that you never want to be away from it. That even if its ''only a diamond'', it has its own personnality and you are happy to be sharing your life with it... It becomes your silent companion...


your ring is truly gorgeous and I adore your w-ring with it. Your set is lovely in every possible way, romantic and very feminine...


Congrats on your beautiful diamond. May you enjoy it for many decades to come! :)

Hey there Amethyste,
ha ha, yes it is a long thread isn''t it? I''m happy so many people have enjoyed the pics and posted, I am constantly flattered.
Ring envy? From the woman with one of the most envied rings on the board? lol..
41.gif

wow, Thankyou hon, your comments are very kind and I love the description of romantic and feminine..

Cheers for your post, and ditto on your awesome pear!

What can I say that hasn''t already been said about the ring (& this huge thread)?


It makes me so happy that Jon & GOG came through for you in the way they did. It''s stories like these that really help other consumers have faith in dealing with large, long distance transactions.


I''m hoping to add my own story in a few months too!


(btw, Jon''s added some new videos of his newly named cushions)


Cheers

Hey match,
thanks for the headsup on the videos - I see there''s a new one on the OEC prototypes too,
I''m checking that one out now..
I agree - if anyone would have reservations about buying from Jon or his attitude towards his clients, or GOG''s integrity - I would hope threads like mine help dispel any concern.

Please do share about your story...are you planning on something from GOG?
cheers for your kind comments.

Your ring is addicting. I gotta bump this up so I can drool over it once more.
You know, I like the rectangular shape more. Its like wearing a tiny pillow on your finger.

Hi trish,

Caught your post here and just wanted to clarify for ya. We currently do have a waiting list as there are diamonds slated for folks at certain ct/color/budget levels but there isn''t quite 20 for each category. If you drop Sarah an email we can give you an idea when we are expecting diamonds to arrive in the weight/size/clarity/color zone you''re wanting. It''s a little frustrating since Antwerp is on vacation during this month but newbies are and have been arriving. We will also have our first 3ct+ diamonds in the not to distant future too.

ha ha thanks Joelly for the bump..I''m glad some other members got to see it this way.
I''d love to be able to see a square one IRL, as I always thought I''d like them much better.
But the slightly rectangle shape def. hasn''t bothered me at all.

Hey Shelby,
Thankyou hon for the compliments - that is very kind.
That''s very cool that your sister may have been inspired to go after her
OMC, I hope she finds a diamond she adores.

Cheers!

I am not trishy but Jon is usually pretty quick. It can take anywhere frrom 1 month to 3 months to fulfill your request depending on how picky or narrow your specifications are. I have been a super picky customer with a pretty narrow range of specs. Jon was able to cut me the first one in 1 month and it took another 1.5 months or so for the second. It isn''t a long process at all. It sure beats waiting around for an already cut diamond that meets your specs/

okay, it sounds like I have been summonsed..Ellen, Loz, Am and Shimmer..
the rain has cleared today and hopefully will stay that way this week - or at least long enough for me to meet my PS obligations, lol.

Maybe I should bring them up to the uni with me for a photoshoot....there''s a ton of really nice gardens all round campus..
just hopefully some broke student won''t swipe ''em!

Callisto,

I ditto Charmy on this one..I would put aside minimum one month to source/cut the stone, but I don''t think it will take mote than 2-3.
For me, it was all pretty quick as I lucked out (and they weren''t quite as popular just yet!).

Do you have a timeframe in mind? It can''t hurt just to contact Jon and register your interest - you never know, he could have something in the pipeline alraedy that''s suitable, which is what happened with mine.

Please let us know what you decide to get!
