OH MY! Can anyone give me tips on how not to be envious of all you ladies with such MASSIVE and amazingly gorgeous sparlies?! I''m still waiting on my less than a carat stone and am thinking to myself, how the heck will/can it even compare?!

If you check out this thread on
under 1 carat diamonds it will help you feel a lot better

. Beautiful rings come in all shapes and sizes

 

[MissAva]

FireGoddess- I know I am having a spot of trouble not going over board on the pictures…

Icekid- It is all the pictures…when I start to annoy ya’ll just let me know.

MrsSalvo- thank you very much. It is so different from what I had before, but still so pretty. I am so happy that I have people here on Pricescope to share it with!

Mara- I think you will be really pleased with the SD550. It is very compact and user friendly!

Alley- The more I look at it the more I like this one. As much as I love shared prong settings, they are by there natures busy to the eye. This is cleaner and more simple and I like that very much. I hope you are able to find something that makes you smile and that you like even better then your LM creation.

Rhapsody- You and me both honey!

Kathleen- Wow thanks!

BlingDiva- You are not late, heck I only posted the ring a about a quarter till noon.

Pebbles- I am trying not to compare this stone to the last one, I think for someone with a personality like mine that could be a very slippery slope.

DH97- Welcome to Pricescope! I am glad you like my ring, I look forward to seeing your thread about your 10th anniversary ring!

Bridget- Thank you! I am hopeful that this ring will last me forever! I am all googolly eyed!

Scarlet 16- A stone under a carat can still be quite stunning, I am sure yours will be fantastic. Have you seen the Under 1 carat thread? I would love to meet up! We really do need to do a NJ/PA/NY get together!

Damn, now I have to clean up all this drool........

Mat, it''s GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

Albi- I will be living about 45 min for NYC starting in about 5 weeks…we definitely need to meet!

1) I am not sure…I take a while to absorb things, but yes I do think it is fantastically amazing.

2) I will as soon as the computer lab empties out…I don’t want to disturb people who need to use it for school work.

YAYYY!!! Future NYC PS Get-Together!

1) I hope you really doooo come to love it to death, it really is absolutely incredible!!!!

Seriously my favorite solitaire setting EVER!!!

2) Hehehe, come oooooon, this is IMPORTANT too!!

OH. MY. WORD. MAT.

It is exquisite! Simply stunning. The diamond is GORGEOUS. And I never thought of myself as a solitaire type girl, but that setting could convert me! I LOVE it. I love everything about it -- the head, the prongs, the shape of the shank. It''s absolutely PERFECT! Congratulations!

 

[belle]

oooooooohhhhhh

Just ......WOW!

The profile on that setting is just too good! Perfect!

 

[divergrrl]

Ohhhh sooooo GOOOORGEOUS! wowowowowoza! I can''t even describe it. The beauty the simplicity, it is truly stunning...i didn''t see specs, please share!

I think you and Mara have ruined me. I forsee an upgrade in my future. Dh will have to deal. Maybe for our 10th or 15th anniverversary, a very large RB. (we just had our 4th!) and I''ll keep my current ring...RHR maybe?

Dang you PS''ers and your huge rocks...you''re turning me into a size slut!

[MissGotRocks]

Just got home but I knew today was Thursday and your ring would arrive today!

It is absolutely goregous - the diamond is very pretty but I am lovin'' that solitaire mounting! That head is just sheer perfection - so elegant and classy. The simplicity of it is the beauty of it. I''m going to vote for the diamond eternity wedding band though - I just love that look!

Another disaster turned triumph story - I am so pleased for you. Enjoy!

 

[sevens one]

well, well, well........

BRAVO!!!

What a lovely couple: setting and stone!

It''s amazing Mat! You deserve this beauty.

 

[fountainfairfax]

I''m breathless, it is now my absolute favorite solitaire of ALL TIME

Everything about it is perfection- that cut, that size, that setting!!!!!! (the only thing wrong is I''m tooo far away to see it in person

)

You must be so relieved, happy and amazed all at the same time- I think it''s cruel to make you have to attend classes for the next week, you''ve got a lot of staring to do!

(I''m so mad that I had to work late and only got to see this thread now, doesn''t my boss understand priorities?)

Lynn B- Why Thank you I am glad you like it! The simplicity is so pleasing.

Belle- Why thank you! We are getting there of the FF list…just have to hit the computer lab.

AljDewey- The head is great, it is a pretty side view, but not overwhelming.

Divvergrl- We don’t meant to make you a slut…but hey we would always welcome other diamond lover into the fold. JK I know you have been here way longer then I have! Your ring is uber blingy as well!

MGR- Aww thank you for checking in on my thread. I am quite please with the ring it is soo pretty!

Virgina- Thank you!

Sevens One- *blushes* It really is lovely!

FountainFairFax- Yippee! I am so glad you like the way it turned out! As soon as I am back above the MD we have got to hang out! It is just as spiffy as the ones we saw in NYC! Now about your boss, you need to explain to him that shiny objects are what keep us coming to work. I have the weekend to drool and giggle and think about things. It makes a lovely anchor though doesn’t it?

 

[sevens one]

Hey Mat,
don''t forget to add your ring to this.

 

[MissAva]

Oh good call Seven''s I will have to make cute little collages for the different threads this needs to be adding to! Thanks!

[Siamese Kitty]

HUGE*CLASSY*TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!! Congrats on the new ring!

 

[MissAva]

Widget- Wow thank you…That means a lot from a jewelry maven like yourself.

Annie-121 Thanks!

Julian- He he…why thank you! I think it is because the stone is set so low…which is fine by me!

DeeJay- I am glad you like it!

Tracy126- He he he, you are funny! No one in my classes even noticed the ring.

SiameseKitty- Thank you I am really liking it! I need to stop giggling.

Okay because I cannot help myself I took pictures of the ring on a “dinosaur” that V made me our first year of college. He was making it using forks (from the dining hall) and battery charger, it was never finished because sadly his RA informed that you cannot weld things in your dorm room. Who knew?
