Thank you everyone for your patience with the pics, and for your kind, sweet words. I can''t tell you how much fun it is to celebrate getting a new sparkly with all of you. Not too many people IRL have the same jewelry-craziness as I do, so I just love it!!!
Thanks Linda W - I wasn't expecting a stellar stone, but I'm happy with this one. I've always wanted a pink tourmaline, too.
rhbgirl - thank you; I know, isn't the hidden diamond a great touch? I had no idea it would be like that!
k9muttlover - I can't wait to see your pendant!! (off to see what k9 ordered...)
Thanks upgrade.
BEG - thanks for your comments. However, I don't think the stone can compare to any of your beauties. There's some color-weirdness going on that might just be normal; I'll post pics in a sec. I actually don't even mind the style of cut, but it's a little off-center. I'm already thinking of replacing it someday. It won't be anytime soon, but how crazy is that - I just got the stinkin' ring!!
Thanks, Steel. To be honest, I was a little nervous the whole time. My DH gave me the go-ahead to order, but right after I clicked "confirm order", I thought - OMG, what did I just do?!
Puffy, Diamond Dana, Ara Ann, iluvcarats, CdnBlingGal and AprilBaby, thanks so much.
Thanks, akmiss. When is your band supposed to arrive? I hope you post tons of pics.
I took some more pics, but I feel kinda funny about posting so many.
ooooooohhh! Pretty pretty sparklies! I love the new ring and with the bands! Well worth the wait for photos. Okay, youve redeemed your meanie butt status!
Hope you enjoy them, they are beautiful!
Wow cellentani, yours is fabulous! And I''ll bet that pink is a Nigerian. I love those lavendar flashes! I have a pair of earrings in that color and they''re the prettiest most interesting shade of pink tourmaline in my opinion. Gorgeous ring with gorgeous detail. You did very well!
A minute or two before I left to pick up my kids, there was a moment of sunshine; by the time I returned, it was cloudy! So yes, these are taken in my car - kinda lame, I know.
These next 2 shots show some some blue. At first I thought it was something weird with the tourmaline, but now that I see the pics, maybe it''s just a reflection??!! I don''t think it''s a reflection of the sky because I''m sitting in the car, and the interior of my car is grey, but who knows.
