Hey everyone!
Well as many of you know, me, my brother, and sister, have been working on a anniversary present for my mother. We had a budget, and then threw the budget out the WINDOW! I think I should stop making budgets for diamonds. I have no will power.
She sold her wedding set to get our family to Canada during the Vietnam war. So 25 years later, she is a high powered, successful business woman....who still has no bling (a travesty!
). In any case, my mother NEVER spends on herself. She worries about everything from her yet to be unborn grand-children''s financial welfare, to whether or not she should send me to Italy so I can unwind this summer....and she is a difficult, demanding yet loving, supportive woman, who has spoiled us rotten, and pushed us through the hardest moments of our lives.
When we gave her the present, she cried and cried, and cried. Incidentally....this is was BEFORE I told her it was real diamonds....she was just speechless
She didn''t want me to post pictures on this site because she said it was so SMALL compared to all the boulders on this site. But I explained that the members on PS appreciate all types of bling whether big OR small
Thanks to John Quixote, who is ever watchful and always ready to step in if there is any sort of hitch (however minor) and for Renee Brinlee, diamond consultant extraordinaire, who was endlessly enthusiastic for this project. And so patient when I actually spelt MY OWN name wrong for the order confirmation. Emails back and forth, and here it is! And of course the Belle and all other members on PS that helped along the road.
