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

I. Am. Obsessed. Oval experts, please pick this stone apart, and tell me all the reasons not to get it.

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

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????

Ummm... no... that didn't help. LOL

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.

Oh, man, that sucks!! Do you think they still have it?? Try to get it back, make a swap with this ring!! I was looking for a band like yours or an alternating one or one with baguettes and rounds, but can't decide, and not sure if I really "need" it, you know? Let me make sure I love this new ring, first!

Your RB has more fire and sparkle. But that is a D and it faces up big on the finger for it's weight. O.K I am no help at all. Buy the oval, buy the oval, buy the oval. Is it working yet???

Thanks, arkie... I guess I need to just come back to reality. There will be no oval in my future, unfortunately. I will just have to be content with the ring I have -- for now.

I do wish a PS'er would buy that stone though...

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

So I don't want to be an enabler but it is lovely.

Missy!!!

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!

Aww, I'm super flattered Missy, DF and Msop, thank you!!

Fwiw, I think that's a pretty sweet oval too Msop! Go for it!

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

Hmmm, I never did get a push present - and that was 9/11 years ago. Perhaps I can get interest on that term? Say $31K worth?

If that doesn't work, our 17th anniversary is this year.

Niel, I totally know better than to click on ANY of your links for marquise, ovals, or pears... LOL

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

You didn't want it anyway...it's way to white! Since owning a D colored pear I've realized that I like a tad bit of color
in my stones (I know, I'm weird)!

 

[ariel144]

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

That is a beautiful oval...but a bit shallow at 55% depth. this one saves 10k and has a really nice small table and higher crown.

Since you are just wishing....I personally would wait for chunky cut antique oval...my fav!

I was thinking that same thing (while trying to convince myself I didn't want or need it, of course...) LOL

Great find, ariel!! I really like the faceting and minimal bowtie on that one -- and the price is GREAT!!!

DANG IT!! ...and it begins again.

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

How about we wait extra long for chubby antique marquise! Just think of her!!

You're fine with me living vicariously though you, right?!

I've thought about it so much (banning myself from looking at it on JA ), but the truth is... I really love my ering, and I'd be so scared I'd regret it if I replaced it.

This is my final plea -- SOMEONE PLEASE BUY THIS OVAL!!!

That is all.

 

[WinkHPD]

Re: OBSESSED -- Please tell me why I shouldn't want this sto

what are you waiting for?..

Don't encourage me, DF!!!

I have never bought an oval stone, but this one looks very nice with no bow tie in the center....GO FOR IT

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! ...it's seriously driving me crazy.

Okay, someone needs to find something wrong with this diamond ASAP!!! DH would kill me if I bought this!!

LOL, JA will thank you and we will miss you, but ya gots to do what ya gots to do!
