since i did let the cat partially out of the bag a few days ago, i feel a little bad for holding out on my fellow PS crazies since i know we all live vicariously through each other.....so here''s a little bit of eye-candy for fun.

What a nice pick Mara!
We want a link!
Just huge! Look at this colors!
Expert Selection?
Tell us more pleaaaase!
Funny, I was just thinking about an ACA upgrade too.
If I have some more luck with my stock options,
I'll buy a New Line ACA, same size or a little bigger
than the one I own, but with a better clarity.
If I'm really lucky, I could find a sister for the 1.26 N-VVS1 Infinity and have a 3-stone ring made...
Edit: Oh, you just posted the specs, thank you! It's so nice! Why isn't it an ACA? Brian is so severe with his diamonds!

to give you guys a bit of background, i have been looking for my upgrade for a while now....technically i wasn''t ready til this year but i had my ''eye'' out for stones that fit the bill even through last year. but it''s SOOO hard to find these larger size stones in the J SI range that i knew i wanted. so when this one came out, it was not even on the site for a few days before DEMELZA, my little partner in crime, found it and alerted me and that was all she wrote. the funny thing is that she doesn''t even typically surf WF''s site, so it was totally random that she found it. her email to me was so innocent...''i''m sure you already saw this?'' and the link to the stone. HECK NO i hadn''t seen it!! hehee.
it has EVERYTHING i wanted, i would have loved an SI2 but everything else on this stone is spot on, the depth, the angles, the size, the color and even a bit of faint flour which i am really excited about even though it may not be visible at all. i also would have loved something just a tiny bit closer to 2.5c but size-whore-J-lovin'' beggars can''t be choosers!!

oh i have had it (not technically!) for a little while now actually...
....
we're going to texas again and we knew that the trip couldn't happen til around april or may, but may just worked out better for schedules etc and so i won't have it til then!! i am going to have WF create me a new custom 6 prong head....still figuring that part out, to go on my existing ring.
so our anniversary is may 12 and i should hopefully have the ring back just in time for that!!! my 2nd anniversary present. but oh i don't plan on doing this every year, greg says about once a week to me 'remember this is it til year 10'....
...this sucker is pricey! i waffled for a while on whether it was worth it to do it, these tiny pieces of sparkly carbon are ridiculously expensive, but in the end my size-whore nature got the best of me! also greg was so sweet about it, he said if it would really make me ecstatically happy then it was worth it to do it.
it's only the last week or so i have been getting really excited about it because it's just around the corner!

all i can think of when i look at the picture that WF took for me on a guy''s hand (not brian, maybe leon?) up above is that the thing is BLAZINGLY white. who says pictures don''t tell the whole story?
that thing looks so blindingly beautiful to me...i can''t wait to see it in person!

Wow Mara. That''s a full carat increase from your original diamond and it is not even your second anniversary yet.
Lucky girl
. Just one more carat to go. At the rate you are going, you''ll probably get your dream rock within
the next two years.
So are you going to put it in your existing e-ring?
Will you need to change the head for it?
Can''t wait to see it on the hand.
