Hi everyone
35.gif

I love this forum! I stumbled across it during my recent ring search and have been lurking ever since. I thought it was time for a proper hello! I have been with my FI for about 10 years, engaged for about 5. Recently we set a wedding date for this October, and I am in the middle of the planning process. So far, I have all my major vendors booked

When we started shopping for my wedding ring, one thing led to another and I somehow convinced my loving FI that an upgrade to my diamond was due -- sneaky sneaky

....So - that is how I found PS! We purchased a stone from a jeweler who is a friend of a friend and I am one of those few instances where it worked out wonderfully. I credit that mostly to all the vast knowledge on PS making me so much more informed about diamonds, quality and craftsmanship. I am really happy with our purchase! We are financing the rings because it was a hung unexpected financial commitment, so I won''t have my baby until this summer. In the meantime - I took some pics to hold myself over and to share with PS because you all are were a huge help even though you didn''t even know it! So - I will attempt to post some pics for you. Here are the specs:
1.18 ct
Dimensions: 6.85 x 6.80 x 4.11
Total Depth: 60.2%
Table: 57.3 %
Color: F
Clarity: SI2 (eye clean)
Polish/Symmetry - VG VG
Crown Angle: 33
Pavillion Angle: 41
Girdle: med

Also - I will try to post some pictures of my dress as well. I purchased it about 2 months ago and it is set to arrive in August. Recently I have been stressing out about it - especially at night when I am trying to sleep. I love the dress, but sometimes I don''t feel like it is really me. I always pictured something a little more flow-y and airy, which it is not. However, when I tried on dresses this one just spoke to me because it seemed elegant and sophisticated and timeless - and that is really more my style. If I were on sex in the city i would probably be like Charlotte (only in the fashion department though - LOL). Anyway - any feedback would be appreciated on the dress as I am on the verge of becoming a two dress bride unless I can calm myself down some

Welcome to PS!

Your ring is gorgeous, and your dress is lovely!

Looking forward to hearing more about your wedding!
 
Hey,

You look lovely...
I have the same dress (and am guessing that we got it at the same place based on the wallpaper in the background) and am also getting married in October :) Good luck with everything.

I had the same thoughts about my dress(es).

My first one-- bought and cancelled through Kleinfeld''s was flowey and romantic. Shoulda kept it in retrospect its still my favorite gown.
My second one (bought on a total whim) was a formal box pleat ball gown with a ton of structure. Bought two sizes smaller, thought I''d lose weight (HAH!)
My third (which I thought was THE ONE) was totally tailor classic and simple... great fabric and style but very simple. It fit me at the time of purchase but I gained wieght. So I started looking again
My um... fourth is lace and romantic and just right considering I''ve exhaused any dress budget I might have had. I''m altering it quite a bit though.

I should change my name to goldilocks, except for the brown hair. Point is I was trying to find the "ME" dress. And I finally have realized that a) my first instinct was right and b) I''m a complex person with a lot of sides to my personality. All the dresses are som aspect of "me."

I think your dress is just beautiful and looks amazing on you. Everyone has dress doubts, it''s a big day, a lot of pressure and its stressful.

We have told other brides to keep looking, or to consider a second dress. But I wouldn''t say that to you because it''s lovely on you, and beautiful. So for what it''s worth, I think you should keep it.
 
Welcome anonymous user!! Your rings and dress are perfect, IMHO!!

Is there something about the dress that you don''t like? All I see is a breathtaking dress on a lady with a gorgeous figure!
