P.S. Is it me, or is this the iciest D ever?? Its color reminds me of the Golconda stones from a previous post...

LOL I'm sorry msop!!! It's just a really pretty oval. Maybe I'm projecting because one of my favorite PS stones is Yenny's gorgeous antique oval and I lust for it from afar. And even though this isn't antique I just love ovals now. (Hope that doesn't sound weird Yenny...I mean it in the best possible way).

OK just thought of why you shouldn't buy it. It's not an antique oval like Yenny's!

OMFG, so funny you posted this... I have this stone saved in my "wish list" on my JA account.

DH would kill me too if I wanted another upgrade, but like you... can you imagine how divine this would be in a halo?

Sigh, amazing seems too mild a description. And since this is PS and a picture is worth a thousand words here you go.

I know, missy! I love love LOVE Yenny's antique oval -- probably the prettiest faceting I've ever seen on an oval... I love my ring, don't get me wrong... I don't know why, but every now and then I get so fixated on a specific stone that it's almost maddening!!

Not as much as the first stone, but this is another oval that's been taunting me: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/2.02-carat-f-color-vs1-clarity-sku-262144

IKR!! My husband would literally consider divorce if I asked to upgrade -- we just got married in March, and he made me promise I'd never upgrade (yeah right!! ) if he got me the ring I wanted!! LOL

I think this would look AHmazing in VC's Ann Marie!!! (which is another setting I've been lusting over for some time now)

I totally get the obsession believe me. Why do you think I love PS so much. Not just the amazing company and lovely people (and there are so many lovely people here yourself included!) but for all the TDF bling.

If only we could buy every jewel that we fell in love with. I mean, it seems hardly fair that we have to make do with just one main ER.
Though some lucky PSers have more than one and I enjoy seeing it all. And I know my dh prefers me to live vicariously through others when it comes to drooling over different ERings haha.

Maybe you should try the switcheroo photo experiment and see how quickly he notices that and proceed from there...

Ummmm.......well it's definitely way TOO perfect. Who wants an icy white D anyway? And it's HUGE, I mean 10mm! Who wants a huge diamond like that? Oh, it sparkles WAY TOO MUCH. There - did that help at all?????? LOL

MYSOP!!! (Shake-Shake) MYSOP! Snap out of it! You have a GORGEOUS ring - OMG!!! How about a new band to jazz up your ring? I think u sold the one I love (the circle bezel band?) I guess u could sell your ring and buy this diamond, but you have a unique gawjus stone and ring!!!!

I am just like u too - look at me - I got a new set last year and here I am picking up a new ering this weekend!! OMG! I think I make decisions, but I think it is because we love too many things for various reasons. you love the oval for its beauty and I'm sure u love your ring too. I love other rings and stones too, but what can we do????

Buy it!! They have some gorgeous ovals right now. To make it even more tempting, a nice VC or SK pink diamond halo. HA

The girdle is too thick, it hides a lot of weight there.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I do love my ring -- I just get in sucked in by PS sometimes and... well, you know how that goes!! LOL

I still have my bezel band... sort of. The original was only 1/2 eternity, so I had them order me one in a full eternity. When I received it, I wasn't happy -- it was out of round and the diamonds looked to have been "punched" too far down into the bezels. I had them reorder with specific instructions to make it EXACTLY LIKE THE FIRST ONE. I got it back and was underwhelmed. The bezels were better, but the milgraining was lacking. Took it to my local jeweler and had them "rework" the milgrain -- $75 later I'm still unhappy with it. Guess that's what I get for being too picky about the 1/2 eternity spinning. I have often thought of calling the first jeweler and seeing if they still have my original ring. I sort of want it back.
