[diamondseeker2006]

Wow! Huge and beautiful!!!

(I had the same thing happen to me with a jeweler talking me into a size I did not want, and I ended up having it resized because I can''t stand my rings being snug at all!!!)

 

[Rock Candy]

WOW!!! Now that''s the kind of upgrade I like!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

[CrookedRock]

WOW! WOW! WOW!

 

[dianne]

Wow, Wow, WOW! That rock is huge!

I don''t think you will be having Diamond Shrinkage Syndrome anytime soon!...if so, and you feel the need to upgrade again soon...please send me your old "small" jewelry...LOL

 

[SparkleD]

Thanks for all of the compliments!!!

The reason I decided to make the huge leap in carat sizes was because of the halo I had around my original ring. I tried on 2 carats and then went to 2.5 and to be honest, it did not look that much bigger than my original ring. But then I tried on 3 carats, I knew it was the perfect size for me! And what was weird, even the husband agreed... ; )

I had to tell him it was like a TV, you get used to the size so we should get the biggest one!

And even though the ring is I colored, it looks amazingly white almost 99% of the time. The only time it has looked slightly yellow is when I put it next to my friend''s F color. She has been subsequently banned from my house!

Side View. Even though it is an SI2, it really is eye clean.

Thank you to everyone for sharing all of the information and educating newbies like me. I really really appreciate it.

 

[anchor31]

Enjoy it!!

 

[SparkleD]

One more

 

[snlee]

Yay, more pictures!

Can we get some more hand shots please?!

 

[SparkleD]

I know you guys asked for hand shots and there is a reason why I didn''t initially provide them.

My pinky is soooooo crooked! Kind of embarrassing but it is inherited! My husband likes to say I spent too much time picking my nose in the womb!

Yeah, he is gross but all mine!

 

[SparkleD]

I really like the way my fake nails from Tar-jaaay look too!

 

[Corseted]

That ring is gorgeous! Can we have more specifications please?

OH MY GOSH. Congratulations!

 

[SparkleD]

Hi everyone!!! Thanks for the compliments!

I do love my new ring very much. I am still adjusting to the warmness but the sparkle pretty much overtakes any color I see!

And Turtledazzle, I am Asian not Cherokee but you and I are still crooked pinky sisters!

I am on the hunt looking for the perfect setting now but the hubby keeps saying the one I have now is perfect. Cheapskate!

Plus I can''t give up the search, Pricescope is sooooo addictive!
