My baby is on the road again..

[Feralpenchant]

My baby = my DIAMOND, of course!

Just shipped her up to James Allen to be set. I'm so nervous!

I ordered a size 6, I'm freaking out that it won't be the right size. I mean, I wear a size 6, but that tiny band might spin easier?

And furthermore..

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T SEE HER AGAIN UNTIL SO PROPOSES? NOOOOO!

Anyone else in the MD/DC/VA area? This rain is BUMMING ME OUT.

 

[AsscherNut]

Yep, I''m in MD and this weather is making me feel all depressed!

Not to worry, before you know it- you''ll be engaged and wedding planning

 

[Lauren8211]

I can''t see mine again til proposal, so I know the feeling.

Oh yeah, and Michigan has rain too... bumming me out as well!

It''ll be on your finger sooner than later!

Lol Elle I love your avatar.

This rain is bizarre, I've gone to the same FedEx Kinko's every day for the past three days at roughly the same time each day for random reasons, and it's been the same people working and the SAME WEATHER all three times.

It's actually really creepy, like some strange never changing universe..

EDIT: AND I parked in the same spot every day. LOL!

 

[princessplease]

Feral, I''m in NJ, and it''s the same here. I hate it!!
But congrats on the diamond being sent to be set!!!!
I hope you get it soon!!!

Lol yep, at least there''s that! WOOO!

I told SO yesterday that the ring will be back within two weeks, so he better get cracking on proposal ideas. He needs timeline reminders like that or nothing will ever get done. He went all sneaky-eyed and was like "Oh, I already have ideas."

Haha.

So for the size 6 that you wear, does that one spin?

No it doesn''t, but the size 6 I bought at wal mart just for trial purposes to test the size was probably about 3mm. Will the 1.9mm spin easier? I would assume there''s less friction..

 

[Dreamgirl]

hmmmm....it could be possible. I was told by my favorite (now retired) jewelry SA that the thicker the band, the tighter it will feel. So with it being that narrow, it might spin. Guess you will have to wait and see...

 

[Patiently_Waiting]

I''m in PA and it''s been non-stop rain here also

.

But just think, you''re one step closer to engagement! Can''t wait to see the final product when he proposes!

Well at least JA has free ring sizing within 60 days. I hope it''s the right size, I don''t think I could bear to part with it again LOL.

Wow crappy weather all across the country. Raining in IL too...

Thats exciting about your ring being done! You should do what my SO does whenever something he''s really excited about it shipping. He tracks it multiple times a day to see where it is (using the UPS number or whatnot). I constantly tease him about it. He''ll see where it is and then mapquest how far away that is from home. So ridiculous.

Thank the lord it''s 80 here today. The rain was killing me!

I have this setting from Danhov and James Allen:

http://www.jamesallen.com/designer-jewelry/meno-collection-by-danhov/ring/item_294-2033.asp

It was originally made in a size 5.5, which is my "normal" size. When I wore it, however, it constantly slipped up my finger and spun around. Danhov and James Allen resized it for free, though. It''s a size 5 now and perfect, aside from when my fingers change due to cold/hot weather.

 

[Winks_Elf]

The back of my shank is down to only about a mm (it''s 14k white gold, and an old setting), so it fits loosely in the winter, but in the end of July it will be snug. My fingers swell and contract so much just through out the day it''s pointless to attempt to make it fit perfectly. It''s a size 6.5, and so is the jacket I wear with it. At 60 degrees, it still slides a little to the side, but by 75 degrees I can take it out of the guard jacket.

and the sun is finally shining in NJ!!!
