thank you so much for all your good wishes! I love these new little guys and have wanted a nice quality pair for ages. being small, I’ve put up with rubbish in my outer holes for years, and am so pleased I’ve finally gotten around to fixing this. and gemgirl - no, i dont have 3 holes in both ears. i have 3 holes in my left ear and 1 hole in my right. i always liked the lop-sided thing. :) and canuk-gal - i DEFINITELY think you should go to Australia for your anniversary! there's no nicer place...(tho of course i'm biased)

the 25th Anniversary Odyssey Tour should be a lot of fun. we leave for Australia on august 3rd, and return on the 25th. the actual date of our 25th is September 1st, so tim has the following week after we get home off also. there’s a lovely golf club in our town, and it’s built around a huge old mansion which they’ve converted into a wonderful restaurant called…Whitby Castle! so this is where tim is taking me for lunch on the 1st of September. while in Australia, we’re having a get together with 30 family and friends for lunch, our vow renewal, and a few other sentimental bits and pieces (we’re presenting gifts – which we never did at the time – to the people who were in our wedding party, for example) and will exchange our new wedding rings. it’s a really special time and I’m looking forward to this a great deal.

so thank you for your good wishes and kind comments – it means a lot. :)

here''s a couple we took today for a bit more perspective. the new BGD studs are the two smaller studs in the outer holes. the inner stud is .32ct EVS2. makes a lovely little line of diamonds... :)

oh gees louise - how about i give you all some STATS (sorry about this oversight - d''oh!)

they''re .33ctw, F/G color and VS clarity. and they are CLEARLY a beautiful cut!

i was going to go with .25ctw (25th anniversary an'' all), but decided i needed a little extra size - so threw sentiment and symbolism out the window without a second thought! yay!

AprilBaby, bee, me&myboys, sarap333, Linda W, Diamond Dana, elle_chris, Laila619, snlee, Shopaholic and geckodani-

Thank you for all your kind comments – both for my earrings and for my anniversary. ☺ it’s funny how wearing 2 sparkly little dots on your ears can put a smile on your face all day, isn’t it?

Really looking forward to the trip in 2 weeks – it’ll be great to be back in my Australian home for a bit, tho I have to say, NY really is home (as opposed to Australian home) for me at this point.

25 years…who’da thought?

and monarch - i don''t know that i will ever qualify as dripping in diamonds, but it sounds like a worthy life''s goal! i talked to lesley about getting brian to halo my 1.5ctw studs next year for my 50th and that''s looking promising. i have a mental picture of these tiny studs in my outer holes, then leverback or shepherd''s hook earrings with flower-style drops in my inner holes. sadly, i have many, MANY ''mental pictures'' - not all of which are in keeping with my bank statement!
