Hi, Angela!

Congratulations...your ring is absolutely beautiful!!
It was definitely worth the wait I have been in
touch with Lilly and she told me that you took a
look at the 1.66 cushion that I am interested in.
She also mentioned that she gave you my cell
phone number and that you may be contacting
me. Do you still have my number?

I am holding off putting a deposit down until I
can see it (and try it on) in person. Since you
have seen it, what do you think?

Thanks for posting handshots...it really is
stunning! It is too bad that we couldn''t meet
up in Vegas. How was the rest of your trip? Are
you back in Japan?

Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!
Congratulations again on your engagement

--Victoria

Hey Victoria,

The reason I haven’t called you yet is that I still have no voice! It’s horrible! I have strep throat and an ear infection! The day after getting my ring in Vegas I ended up in the emergency room! I’m on antibiotics and feeling a little better but my voice hasn’t come back yet! It was horrible to fly with an ear infection! My ears kept popping and I could hardly hear. And we were visiting family all over to announce our engagement. 10 different planes in 9 days! I’m finally back home in Japan trying to recover. This is also the first day I’ve had internet connection since leaving. What a whirlwind!

Victoria, I did get a quick look at the ring you’re interested in. It’s gorgeous! Just like mine except the micopave going around the center stone is a little thinner. Also your stone looked deeper than mine from the side view, which was beautiful. So face up it looked just a little bigger than mine. But the pave was less noticeable and all the attention was on the center stone, which really stood out! I loved it!

I wish I got a closer look at it but I was so sick it was a miracle I even made it in! Tony, Lilly and Maria were all charming and I wish I could have talked to them more.

I will definitely purchase the matching wedding band from them this fall. I can’t wait!!

Thanks for all your comments so far! I really couldn't be happier with my ring.

It's unbelievable how much it sparkles and how big it looks on my finger. The pictures don't do it justice. And it's so comfortable, I can't even feel it on. It is a dream come true!

Hope you can all see the above pics!

Oh my lord, it is just stunning! I can''t believe you have such teeny fingers either--it must look enormous!! It looks pretty big anyway!! It''s absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!!

 

[Catmom]

Angelainjapan, your ring is absolutely drop dead gorgeous!!! It looks so fantastic on your hand. Congratulations on your engagement and Please, please take care of yourself and DO NOT TRY AND TALK until your voice comes back! My daughter just finished a two year and 5 surgery saga that ended up with her at Mayo clinic due to losing her voice after laryngitis and strep.
