Hi PS''ers!

I''ve been meaning to post these pics but I first had to figure out my new camera I got for Christmas. There is a bit of a story that I have to tell first about this ring though.

A little over a year ago (Nov 08) I was on the hunt for a vintage diamond and platinum eternity band for a RHR. I came across a beautiful band on Ebay (Dover Jewelers) and fell in love. However, it was more than I wanted to spend and it was a size 7 (I''m a 6.5 on my RH). So I passed on it and was bummed. Well a few weeks later I found out that our own NeatFreak bought that exact same ring on ebay! I had met NF about a year prior to that at an SF GTG (before she was living in CA) and thought she was just a doll. So even though I didn''t get the chance to buy it, I was happy NF was the lucky winner of that gorgeous band. And as my luck would have it NF moved to CA (about 45 minutes from me) and I got too see the ring in person finally! And wow was it amazing.

So anyway, after I passed on the Dover beauty, I ended up finding another Art Deco diamond and plat band on Ebay in my size and price range, so I picked that up instead.

Well, about a month ago I was browsing online (Diamond Bistro) and happened to find a posting for a ring that looked WAY to similar to NF''s beauty. So I emailed her right away to ask if she was selling it. And low and behold, she was! I couldn''t believe it! And of course, I seriously couldn''t pass this ring up again so I talked to my DH and the sweet man that he is said I could have it for Christmas (although it was a tough sale because he really hates it when gifts are not surprises). So I gave him NF''s contact info and he did the rest, of course I never saw or heard another thing about the ring until Christmas morning, when it was sitting under the tree.

I really couldn''t believe I found this ring again and I am soooooooo happy to finally have it (and of course living close to NF, she can visit it too)

And yes it''s a little bit big for me but I do have big nuckles and I wear my tighter Art Deco band in front of it, so it''s really not a big deal.

Here are some pics for you guys....

Hi Bgray, yes each diamond has 4 double prongs. Each double prong is sooooo super tiny. If you need any others pics to help you create your dream band, just let me know.

Oh what a great story!! I love when jewelry has a past. Both your rings are beauties. The newest one is so pretty and your hubby was a real sweetie to get it for you.
