OK - I'm a bad, bad, lazy, LAZY PSer! :nono: :errrr: BUT I've always had the best of intent! iPhone - check, Ollo clip for macros - check, taking lots of pics - check, uploading... better late than never! :wavey:

DH and I got married in September 2012. I explained to DH that, um..., being the wonderful doting fiancee that I was, I deserved a PS grade wedding gift. He looked :errrr: :nono: and ;( , so I quickly assuaged any fears by telling him that all I needed was a budget, and I would then pick out what I want, solicit price quotes just to make it simple for him :naughty: :Up_to_something:

Ever since I tried on DBTYs at IDJ, I've wanted one. Throw in lots of threads in late 2011 and early 2012, and I was hooked! Out of my favorite PS vendors, I only solicited quotes from IDJ and ERD because WF and BGD were out of my price range with the size melee I wanted - 20 pointers. ERD was higher than IDJ, but upon being presented with IDJ's quote, they came down to be within $200 (if I recall correctly). Chris was like, "I'm not going to make any money off this!" :saint:

I have a thicker neck, and a strict budget, so I opted for 18" 14k white gold, 7 x 20 pointers towards the front, at the PS recommended spacing from another thread.

I'm not so good at keeping my diamonds clean - mea culpa. :(sad . Nor am I that great at bling pics. :eek:

I love it Pinto! Looks gorgeous on your neck!!! :love: It definitely makes a statement!
Wear in health and happiness!!!
 
And for bezel DBTY comparison, these are my DBTY earrings that I had IDJ make. I think the pair is 0.30 ctw - 6 x 5 pointers
Please excuse my poor ollo clip macro pics.

Thanks Enerchi, diamondseeker2006 for the lovely compliments. I will try to get to the ear shots for the earrings ASAP! I know that when I was contemplating having them made, I really wished I had reference pics!

Thank you, Sarahbear! Elegant is definitely what I had in mind - more "pow" than a plain chain, yet understated and elegant.
