Hey everyone,
Alright, so I have to tell someone because I'm so excited I'm bouncing all over the house.
So as many of you know, I was working on a 3 stone ring project for my mom's anniversary present. So I had decided on a 0.72 and 2 0.25 stones. I was all pleased with myself and then thought I'll just put it in the cheapest setting possible and that's the end of the story. Except the setting turned out to be a nightmare because we couldn't find any setting that would fit 0.72 with 0.25 sidestones (believe it or not stueller and adwar) don't have a single setting that can do this! Bizarre.
So I fiddled around, asked Renee if we could change the head, etc., back and forth we went (she has the patient of a saint). But we finally figured out that it just couldn't be done for the budget.
All the kids got together, and pretty much decided that we could do $5000 Canadian which is $4440 USD. But still, we weren't sure if the stones + simple custom setting could be done for this. And we really couldn't go higher then this.
And then this morning, I was feeling a little like a RAT. So I showed my mom a picture of a ring I love and said "oh this PS member got this" And she said to me "Wow that's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen". So now I'm stuck, if your mom says something like that, you really want to buy it for her, but I really didn't think it could be done for our budget. THANK GOD I ASKED RENEE FOR A PRICE QUOTE!!! I was hesitent to even ask because she knew we were on a budget, and it was strected thin. But we can afford it! With room to spare, and the bank wire is being sent tomorrow. I don't know how I'm going to wait a whole week to get it and give it to my mom. My brother and sister are so thrilled. The BEST part is that my mom things we're buying her a little jade ring (that's how I'm getting her to go get her finger measured).
It's going to be her FIRST diamond in 27 years! She sold her original wedding set wedding set to escape from Vietnam during the war. She became very, very successful but has never indulged herself. Can you imagine how surprised she's going to be???
Ok, so here are the specs:
