#JOTW Introducing Vivian, the custom cut 4.2 I VVS2 ACA!

[Tonks]

I'm so happy for you that your new ring is everything (and more) than you hoped it would be. It is truly a stunner. I feel honored to have been there behind the scenes for parts of the journey. I know how nerve-wracking it can be making all the choices that go into a major sparkly purchase such as this. What a treasure you've created. I hope you wear it in good health and much joy for years and years to come. You go girl!!!!

Oh my goodness, thank you, RWS! I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated your help and friendship through this journey! I still can’t believe how the timing of your tennis bracelet and this ring overlapped. All of your advice and encouragement and hand-holding through this process was so appreciated!

 

[Tonks]

This. ^^^^^

Lordy.

You know, photographing diamonds is HARD. But sometimes you get ones like that. Just out of curiosity, since you have been here before, how long after getting a new ring do you stop photographing it every five seconds? Because this is getting ridiculous.

Hello Tonks!!
Wow.. how did I miss this entire thread??
Your new ring is STUNNING!!!
I am chuckling over your children's suggested names.. the Dwayne?? Hilarious!!
Also LOVE the pic of your hand over your husband's hand.. truly a ring and a man to treasure. Enjoy every moment wearing your new beauty.

Hey! You didn’t miss it, you’re here! And thank you for the compliment.

Yeah, my kids and names…..ooof. But also kind of hilarious.

It's a bit like hormone-ravaged teenagers who can't keep their hands off each other and just keep finding new places to...well...you know. Every time they see each other, their eyes light up and...off they go again! Pure obsession, to the ignoring of everything else.

So, yes, it's a bit like that.

To that end, I'd say...2 years?

But if it's a really *good* relationship, of course, you keep on...er...'checking in'...regularly - for the rest of your life.

And I suspect your relationship with Vivian is a *very* good relationship!

What a perfect diamond - congratulations and Happy Anniversary to you and yours!

Oh, @mrs-b ! *wipes tears from eyes*

Thank you, I needed that laugh.

Thank you so much, @DejaWiz !

I cannot quite get a camera to capture what I see in person, but this is better than most.

What is so amazing to me about ACA diamonds (or any super ideal cut diamond I guess) is the uniformity of the look. They are cut for that of course but no matter the size, you always get that same dazzling look in great lighting. Just can’t beat them!!

I love that, too. We can get very caught up in numbers and specifics, but it is really nice to know that an ACA (or superideal) will just look phenomenal. Especially if you’re custom cutting, it makes it feel a lot safer.

I give you props for the custom cut Tonks! It is one thing to buy a diamond that you can eyeball online. You can see the specs and inclusions. I think WF has things in place for customers if they hate the finished product but you hit pay dirt with your custom cut! Larger and better clarity - just can’t beat that. I do agree though that regardless of the specs, they are just beautiful diamonds! I think we see time and time again that color is not nearly as important; those flashes and scintillation trump all! I have never had anyone ask me what color my diamond is although most people probably don’t know much about the color scale. I have heard descriptors such as white and clear! I always giggle to myself at that but if that is what they get out of it, it is a winner!! Lol!

Congrats on JOTW too! Well deserved!!

Your incredibly well thought-out journey is an inspiration and thank you for sharing every step in such detail.

Needless to say, congrats on a beautiful ring but I think even more than that, it’s something that you’ve dreamt up and executed with perfection

How many groceries did you forget to buy that day looking at that gorgeous ring! LOL

Congratulations on Vivian's JOTW status! Well deserved!

I will not lie: I was at that store with the primary aim of looking at my diamond under the lights. Items that I remembered to purchase were merely a bonus.
