So today was the big day where FF and I went into NYC and met with a friend of the family who is a jeweler and Mark at ERD...
well the update is....
We picked a ring from Mark at ERD! and I can''t wait!
This is what I got...
Cushion Brillant
1.27 H Si1
I don''t remember anything else but sparkles! But all I can say is that this stone took my breath away!
the recap of the dismaond search adventure....
The first place we visited was sorta SHADY.. it was a relative of a family friend they had about 5 stones for us to see.. a few around 1 carat and then a 1.51 G, VS1 and 1.54 H Si2
Both the 1.51 and the 1.54 were VERY impressive but there was one thing that was bothering me... they were EGL.. I figured I"d sit on it.. ALso the settings (Tiffany Legacy-ISH... they were already casted.. so they were going to squish the diamond into the setting and make it fit..that ALSO bothered me
A few hours later we were sitting with Mark. He presented 3 stones ALL GIA all within in our budget.. a little smaller then the 1.5''s but the one i picked really SPOKE to me! As soon as he pulled it out I was leaning way over FF to get a good look at it.. while he pulled the other two out.. I was still staring at the one I already marked with my eyes hahah..
So an hour later we told Mark we will get back to him soon and we were on our way down and FF said he would call mark later and give him the go ahead but then realized we didn''t size my finger! So we went back upstairs got my fingy sized and told Mark to move ahead with the order!
I am getting a modified version of the Marla on ERD"s site.. and I can''t wait!!!
