ha ha good job on the guess SJZ. Lynn gets second prize.
LOVE all the creative guesses...especially from Kaleigh, my partner in crime, who was tasked to keep people from guessing too close to the real thing!! Oh and 7/1 I almost died laughing at the diamond caps!!
It's a SET of rings and not 'a ring'...you guys know how I love the 'semantics'....
Seriously, deciding to get these things was very hard. It's not like I have tons of diamond jewelry and there were other things that I thought about for weeks. But bottom line, my silver toe rings that I had on my toes previously have been on there for 3-4 years and I only took them off very rarely to clean them. They didn't bother me and felt great. So when it came down, toe rings for me WERE the most 'useful' item. I wear them as much if not more than my wedding set!
WhiteFlash was GREAT in making them. I spoke at length with Leon and sent them my old toe rings. He stressed that it was important to keep the design as close as possible to my existing toe rings since we already knew that my feet were fine with that design and the rings did not bother the toes etc. So he said channel set was the best way. The rings are a size 3.75 (wow bigger than some of the gals fingers on here, scary huh?!), 2mm each with 43 F/G 1.1mm ACA melee stones in each ring. They are REALLY delicate, in the WF pictures they look very substantial but you can see on my feet they are TINY! I love them. It's such a subtle look but in the sun, they are seriously bling bling. Almost moreso than my rings if you can believe it. They feel totally comfortable just like my old rings though it took me a few hours this morning to get used to wearing them again!
Even while WF was making them, I had my doubts I was doing the right thing, but I am so happy I went with my gut and got what I really wanted and something that will get used all the time...moreso than a bigger pair of earrings or something else I wouldn't wear as much.
Thanks so much to everyone involved, L&I for being amazing...WF for being so patient and so great at what they do, alj and kaleigh for being so supportive while I hemmed and hawed over whattodowhattodo...

Ohmygosh, how fun! I am STILL smiling!!!!
Are the rings plat or WG?
Could you wear one as a pinky ring if you wanted??!
What is the tcw of each ring?
I''ll bet they are little fire crackers -- those ACA melees are downright BLINDING in the sun!!!!
Totally, 100% ADORABLE! Good job, girl!!!!

Oh sorry, it''s white gold. Part of what I wanted to ensure is that the rings would be strong...so I asked about platinum but I guess the feeling was that white gold would be okay. Also the opening holes on the bottom of the rings are interesting, instead of the typical round eternity holes these are more like slits...and when I asked Brian told me that by making round regular holes it would compromise the strength of the setting so they made them as thin as possible and in the middle of the setting rather than extending them out towards the ends where I guess things would be weaker? So they really took care to ensure that the stones and the rings would be ''safe''. So we''ll see! I also don''t walk out barefoot alot, I always wear flip flops ( I have like 10 pairs of Havanianas, LOVE THEM!!!) so it''s not as though these will be scratching around on concrete or metal a whole lot.

Haha Lynn actually these just BARELY fit on my pinky so yes if I get tired of toe rings down the line I could have them as pinkies I guess! heehe.
The funniest part was I figured my toes were about size 3 at max. I mean we have gals on here with size 2 and 3 fingers, my toes surely couldn't be larger than their FINGERS right?! Well WF gets my toe rings and Leon goes...oh these rings are sized at 3.75. WHAT!? Hahaha...boy I felt very large that day! One of my toes is a tiny bit bigger than the other and I had to struggle to get the ring onto that toe so I may need a tiny bit of a resize on one of them...we'll see. Greg said to see if I can get used to it so I don't have to mess around with the ring.
The rings are a mix of .007 and .008c stones for ~.30ctw in each ring. Not bad for the toes!
Oh and I should also add that Greg wanted me to put the PS gift towards my upgrade next year. I said no way buddy, you aren't getting off that easy!

What a cool idea, and the final product is just impeccable!!! I love them and especially the fact that they''re completely closed rings...my toes have fat heads so my toe rings need to be the adjustable ones cuz if they fit over the top of my toe, they''re too big for the rest of my toe. It''s a good thing to have french fry toes sometimes.
Just divine!!!!!

HA HA trust me they don''t always look like that.
I ran my butt over to the salon yesterday afternoon between lunch and Greg''s company picnic to get a pedicure when I knew the rings were shipping for today arrival. No way was I posting them BP (before pedicure)!
By the way I also have the bulb thing at the end of the toe...which is why I know these suckers aren''t going anywhere anytime soon. On my left foot the bulb is a tiny bit bigger which is why I was straining to get the ring on it this morning. I asked Greg if he thought I should have toe bulb shaving surgery...just so I could get my diamond toe ring on easier.

I can''t handle pedicures. I got one forthe wedding and I am SOOOOOOO Ticklish the girl had to quit scrubbing and working on me for fear my jerking around would cause me to whap her in thehead.
I only wear flipflops at home because they always rip my feet up. I wonder if I lived near the beach if my feet would be more used to it.

OK... really, REEEEAAAALLLY embarrassed over here... but um, I can''t quite figure out how big the ACA melees are!!!! I don''t understand all the zeros and the placement of the decimal point!!!!
I know, isn''t that ridiculous! They aren''t 7 or 8 pointers... so they''re what?!!! What is one more zero added to the beginning of THAT???!!! Good grief, I honestly can''t figure it out. Can someone please take pity on me and put it INTO WORDS!!!!!
Thank you!
