When Rhino posted the video on FB on these fancy brownish pink diamonds, I KNEW one was coming home with me! :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: I think my strength of my conviction :errrr: and :confused: poor DH. ("Don't you have other rings with diamonds that sit in your jewelry box?... but if it will make you happy :saint: )

Charles, Lynda, Vicky were all very nice to work with. I'm kinda glad Jonathon wasn't there because the last time I went into the store, and spotted him, I gawped at him... so awkward... poor man... :cheeky:

Stats:

14k rose gold 6 prong setting, size 8.5

I DO see an "eye" looking at me in the professional shot, but I SWEAR it was eye clean in person from the top down - a little booger maybe from the side that could be hidden by a prong. I'm not too worried - my vision isn't going to get better in the years to come :lol: , and maybe it's nice to have a diamond that's keeping its eye on me?

Inclusions shmoosions...! When I saw Choco-berry Finn in person, I just loved her razzle dazzle and cool, champagney color. She's a bit of a chameleon - sometimes beigey, sometimes brown-y, but always cool from the pinky as opposed to yellow undertones. I think she's a nice sister for my fancy yellow, a.k.a., "frozen piss".

The sad part of being a size 8.5, and swollen (darn summer and salt!) is that there is NO such thing as too big of a diamond. Enough with my yada yada...
 
"EYE" see you from my Choco-berry finn soul/heart/core... :eek:

Tore open the boxes and left them at Fedex, then excitedly played with my ring in the car!

Lovely color compliments your skintone!
 
Thank you for the sweet comments, YT, arkieb1, Rosetta, lknvrb4, Alex T, natylad, misskittycat, GemFever, bastetcat, pandabee, SB621, Laila619, starry night, dragonfly411, and AprilBaby. Choco-berry Finn is very flattered and appreciative!
 
PB!!! OMG!! That's amazing! some of the pic, Finn doesn't even look to be brown tinged, just pink! Fantastic!! And -- um-- HUGE!!! Well done, well. done. !!!
 
Another gorgeous RG ring!! I am loving it. Perfect choice for this big, beautiful stone!

So tell me about this ... you just wanted a 2.6 ct. diamond and your husband said, "Oh, if it makes you happy."? No occasion, not an upgrade, just an "I wanted it."? That is not just a purchase on a whim? Wowweee. Your husband is the man!! Wow. Hang on tight to him AND that gorgeous ring :appl:
 
WOW!!! Unique, cool color and gigantic! That is the bomb! You go girl!!! Love it :love:
 
Thank you Enerchi, Woof :wavey: mama!

Blingymo :wavey: I paid off my student loans early and was proud that I accomplished this in 2.5 versus 10 years. I bought a handbag to treat myself, but when I set eyes on choco-berry Finn's video, I figured that there wasn't anything wrong with an add-on! It was like watching a dating profile and locking eyes with your scintillating soulmate . :naughty:

As for my DH, perhaps the key is to be so frightening :errrr: when you're not happy that the minute you point out something that makes your heart sing, your husband doesn't blink! :lol: I think it also helped that this was an unusual colored stone...had it been another "white" diamond, he would have been like :confused: you have rings with little white diamonds, single white diamond, 5 white diamond, why do you need another white diamond, I don't get it???
 
It's just fabulous!!!!

(I can't help but wonder how it would look in a rose gold cup and white diamond halo...)
 
I love that color! I can't decide which one I love more the rose gold or the diamond!! It looks just amazing! :appl: :appl: Congrats!

Me too, Rosebloom, me too! :love:
 
Thank you kkalomeli!

The color definitely is nifty! Most browns I've seen - the "cognacs" and other "champagnes" tend to have warm and yellow undertones, which tends them to look closer in color to my yellow e-ring against my skin. Had good old gold not made this video with the brownish-pink diamonds, I would never have discovered this color and fallen head over heels in love at first sight! :love: (And wallet would be fatter now, too! :naughty: ) I really appreciate the quality, informative videos GOG put out
 
Oh I love that!!! And that RG setting is to-die-for!! Enjoy it!!! :appl:
