Hello! I''ve been "lurking" here for quite a few months. My husband and live overseas (he''s in the Air Force stationed in Germany). Anyway, when we got married three years ago, it was sort of a shotgun wedding after he got orders to Germany (this may sound familiar to other military wives!). Not a lot of time for ring shopping etc. and I didn''t want to just get "anything".

So, we got the diamond (.95ct, VVS2, H-I - not sure of the other specs, but it''s beautiful). I thought we''d find a ring over here, but I''m not crazy about a lot of the e-rings in Europe. They do a lot of bezels (which I DO like, but not for me) and their prong-set rings just never did it for me. Plus with the exchange rate from Dollar to Euro...

Needless to say, after THREE LONG YEARS I''m finally getting the setting that I adore thanks to this website!! I''m getting the Michael B Petite Princess with matching band. I''ve always loved his work and have seen it in person, but until I found this website, I didn''t really know where or how to get one.

Well, I contacted Bill Pearlman at Pearlman''s Jewelers and am getting the rings from him. I first heard mention of him here. He is awesome!! I can''t say enough good things about him. He is especially supportive of the military, which I really appreciated. He contacted me immediately after I sent him an email. He always wrote me back really wonderful stories and was so personable. Much better customer service than you find in most B & M stores.

My ring won''t be done for a few more weeks, but as soon as it is I''ll definitely post pics! I''m so excited! I know my diamond is "small" compared to most here, but it is beautiful. I can''t wait to see it on the Michael B.

If anyone has their own Michael B petite princess rings I would love to see pics! It might help me get through the next few weeks.

Just wanted to share my story AND give kudos to Pearlmans.

Jamie


 
Congratulations Jamie! My DH is retired Air Force, and lived in Ramstein (sp?) for several years. We appreciate what the military families go through for us all!

I''m looking forward to seeing the pics of your new ring.
 
Thanks lop! That''s so nice to hear, especially since I havn''t seen my husband in 6 months. I guess that''s military life!

Hey there Jaime!! Congrats on the ring! I know exactly what you are going through, my husband and I are both in the military and have delt with the no ring, separation thing! Good luck to you and don''t forget to post pics!!
 
My husband is about to leave for 3 months...and I get to ring shop when he gets back! I''m going to get about a carat as well, but think I''ll have to go custom route since I just can''t decide on a setting!
