I''m so excited, my long awaited ring has finally been completed by WF, and now I have but a few short days until it arrives in my hot lil hands in Australia!
For anyone who remembers all my other posts along the way, it has been a bit of a journey for me getting this ring together, with some twists along the way..but its finally done

I am going to reserve my "final judgement" for when I get to see her "in the flesh", but to me the WF pics look realy impressive, and I couldn''t be happier.

The Diamond is a 1.25 K SI1 H&A from GOG,
the setting is the Legato Sleek Lines in 18k yellow gold from WF, with just a minor change to the prongs.

I will do a full glamour shoot over in SMTR when it arives, but I really just wanted to put this here so I can say an enormous **THANKYOU** to the wonderful people who have helped me.

Jon, Christen, Marie and team at GOG - hopefully by now you guys know how I feel about you! But for anyone who is considering buying from them, I have to say it has been the single most pleasurable retail experience of my life working with these eternally patient people. They are just plain great!

And to Jamie and Vera and the team at WF - well..Wow! I cannot say enough how impressed I am with the level of service I received from these fantastic professionals. Jamie has answered about a thousand of my Q''s, and Vera needed to change my order confirmation about 20 times - every task and communication always completed quickly, thoroughly and with kindness.

Thankyou to both wonderful teams, it was my pleasure to have "met" you all!

I truly love it, and I totally can''t believe it''s a K! Killer stone! What a stress it was for you to decide but you really have picked a winner!

I have to ask, what kind of camera did you get
31.gif
It''s my big bday in a few weeks (yep, 29 again
27.gif
) and my darling is going to buy me a camera - must take arrow shots though. I am thinking of a Cannon 8015 or something like that, can never remember details like that. 8 megapixels, 4x optical zoom, something along those lines. Gee, I wish they advertised cameras like this : Takes fabulous arrow shots, fire shots etc.

Thankyou Dee, you're very kind! I have been a bit absent from PS as my hard drive crashed and needed repairing. However, its probably been a good thing not having a computer as I probably would've driven myself mad waiting for my ring, lol!

Honey, it was actually my b'day gift the camera, so I ended up with a much better one from my folks than I could've afforded myself.
Its a Sony DSC T200. I haven't tried it out much on jewellery yet, but I can tell you its great.
I never would've thought I wanted a Sony, but seeing as this model has been superceded it was reduced at some places and they got a great deal. Maybe ring around your local duty-free if you're interested?
It has a touch screen, which is Really fun and easy to use. Plus, it got the mega thumbs-up from Jon @ GOG, who's a nut about this stuff, so thats good enough for me!
5.gif

As a reference, it has 8.1mp and 5x optical zoom. The rest I'm not up to speed on, but I know it has a close macro range.
I also like that its digital but semi-manual, so you can create all your own settings or just go with the auto ones..anyway, rambling!

Not sure yet on performance for fire etc, but it has a strong macro mode, so I'm optimistic. I will take lots of shots for you!
What models are you thinking of?

Yup, that was good enough for me!
Mine came in this metallic fuschia colour, very cool..

If you think you''ll like it, do shop around. It retails still for about $600 everywhere, but my folks got Harvey Norman''s to pricematch to just over $200

Thankyou Bling A and Lorelei!
I can''t wait to get it and see how it is IRL - I''ve never even seen an ideal diamond over a ct, I''m so excited.
I hope the K colour looks as pretty as it does in the photos!

It''s gorgeous! The proportions of the setting and stone are just perfect!

Start with the hand cream now lady, we''re going to need a lot of pictures of that beauty, and I wouldn''t want you risking any skin damage from the flash
