tried posting this earlier and the pictures would not load, So I will try again...

This morning I hurried over to the Fedex office to pick up my package from Brian Gavin. As I mentioned in the Christams bling thread, I recieved the most wonderful news Christmas Eve, I won the Brian Gavin Facebook sweepstakes. I almost did not answer the phone on Christmas Eve, we were knee deep in wrapping and getting ready for church... Glad I did. Brian himself was on the other end! He told me I had won the contest and that the .596 "D" SI1 H&A stone would be set in the rose gold Barbara bezel with a 16"chain. I was speechless, which for me is quite a feat! :appl:
The package arrived today and I opened it in the Fedex parking lot. WOW! The stone is beautiful. Now I see what is meant by excellent cut! I know the fact that the stone is a D makes it special, but I can't get over the fire from this stone. I just love the soft rose glow from the bezel surrounding it. The Barbara pendant has 3 loops at the back that I have never seen before but allow the diamond to sit just perfectly .
I was so excited to speak to Brian that the fact that the chain was going to be 16" never meant anything to me, however when I put it on it sits just at the base of myy throat, sparkling and winking away, problem being it bobs and flips when I talk, which as a teacher I do A LOT!! So dear, sweet, wonderful Lesley is going to change it out for a longer one!!! Ok now I will try to attach the pics, please excuse my freckly neck and chest. It is hard to photograph your own chest, or take a picture of me when I don't look like a scowling school marm. Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow and I can take some more pictures.

Sorry the picture is soo small and none of my others will load, it keeps telling me invalid file. I wonder what I am doing wrong?

congrats!!!! its stunning- lucky you!
 
Wow! It looks really big!
 
Many congrats! It's gorgeous and how generous of Brian and Lesley to switch the chain to a longer one for you!
 
Congratulations Elisa, it looks beautiful on you!!! Wear it in the best of health!
 
I'm sure you are thrilled. It looks fabulous - please get us some close ups of that stone!!
It looks huge !!
 
Wow that was fast!

Enjoy! The necklace looks wonderful on you and sounds heavenly. I wish we could see close-ups. Perhaps the image size is too large? Have you tried reducing the size without actually reduing the image measurements? I hope I am making sense.

Oh, have BGD emailed any glamour shots?

Congratulations! It looks beautiful! Can't wait to see bigger pics!
 
Thanks all for your kind comments. Lesley sent the Glamour shots this evenibg so I will try to get them posted. It really is a pretty necklace and I am so thrilled that I won it! My next BGD project is already percolating in my head. I am toying with resetting my grandmothers 2 diamond ring into a halo. I will let you all weigh in on that soon!
