The Count Down is On - I've Got Pics of My Ring

[msdarlinjoy]

And here is my ering with a straight diamond band, I think it is a satin/high polish band.

 

[Mara]

it''s just lovely MDJ...how excited are you!!!! does this mean it ships today and you will have it tomorrow?

 

[robbie3982]

it''s amazing!

I love side views of diamonds and your setting is to die for!

 

[Gothgrrl]

Mrs Darlin Joy...it''s so gorgeous...and like you said, love those nice smooth lines. I vote for the channel set band. What''s a lonely solitaire to do by its self? Get ''em a friend!

Hope all is well with you and please post hand pics.

 

[FireGoddess]

Hi LizzyD ~

Thank you ... you know, when I first saw this setting, I thought it was a timeless setting that would hopefully go with just about anything. I think it will look good with the two diamond bands I have.

I am excited to get all three rings back soon.

It''s just wonderful MDJ. beautiful diamond in a gorgeous classic setting. I''m so happy for you and can''t wait to see the handshots

Hi MrsSalvo ~

Thank you!

Yes, I am so very happy! I am very pleased with the pic''s that were sent to me! I am really excited, and the butterflies are starting a massive swarm in my tummy!

I am glad that I had the patience to wait ... as in, patience to wait for the right setting for me. It was most difficult as times ... as I kept switching back and forth between frou-frou and timeless ... there was something about every setting that I liked ... I was starting to go crazy because I just couldn''t decide!

[KristyDarling]

MDJ, it''s beautiful!!! Nothing beats a fiery round in a classic solitaire setting. It''s going to be incredible on your hand!

WOW, MDJ!!! Your ring is just beautiful!!!

Cant wait to see the pics of it on your hand! I can understand why you are so excited!
Congratulations!!!!

Hi Dani ~

Thank you!

I am happy ... and bouncing a ''lil off the walls right now.

It is starting to sink in that "this is really happening" ... it''s finally all coming together!

Hubby just came home, and my teenage daughter is bouncing on her computer chair next to mine ... and telling Dad ... "Come look ... come over & look!"

Hubby really

''s the new "Ering!"

He said that it is really beautiful, and

''s the clean lines. He thinks it looks very classy!

YAY! Everyone is going to be happy!

it''s just lovely MDJ...how excited are you!!!! does this mean it ships today and you will have it tomorrow?

Hi Mara ~

Thank you!

Yup, yup ... I am excited!

Haha! I wish it shipped out today so I could have it tomorrow!

I probably will have it in about a week or just little more than a week.

Rich should be getting my two diamond milgrain wedding bands on Fri/Sat and then he can look over the two bands and will have a final look of my ering now that is it set and then will send all three rings to me. If he sends it registered/insured/return receipt it will take about 5-6 days to get here from FL.

Robbie ~

Again thank you!

You know, hubby just got up from looking at the pic''s one more time with me, and he really likes the side view of this setting too!

I am very happy that he loves the look of my new setting. It pleases me to know that everytime he looks at my hand, he will love it just as much as I do! Yippie!

It''s icing on the sweet cake of life!

Hi Gothgrrl ~

Thank you!

I thought it had nice smooth lines too, and there was just something about how the shoulders met up to the diamond ... it was straight ... but not stick straight ... it had a softness to it.

It was simple, yet not quite so simple that it would screem ''boring'' ... maybe it''s the slight taper of the shoulders???

I don''t know what it is about this setting, It called my name {{{{{Joy}}}}}, & hubby did like it the best out of the narrowed down pic''s that I showed him.

Hahaha! Yup, that is exactly right ... a lonely solitaire needs a friend! And just to make sure my new ering isn''t too lonely, it will have two friends to keep it warm at night! One on each side!

Beautiful MDJ!!!! I love the look of it with a curved band...wow! How soon till it''s in your hot little hands?

Hi FireGoddess ~

Thanks!

I too like the pic of my ering best with that curved channel set band! Oh so yummy!

My diamond bands are about 2mm wide, maybe just a hair wider, and they have delicate milgrain on them, and are about .25tctw each. Small tiny diamonds compared to the channel set band.

My hot lil'' hands are hoping for about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks.

I am already trying to think ahead about ...

List:

1. Manicure
2. Flowers

Did I miss anything?

Love your ring!!! It will look good with ANY band you choose!
So glad this is finally all coming together!!!

Hi Carlotta ~

Thank you for your comment!

I think it will look nice with most bands. I am just a tiny bit nervous about "my" bands.

I love my two wbands by themselves, and I have been wearing them "stacked" on my ring finger, and have recieved many nice compliments while waiting for my new ering ... I think they should look fine with my ering. I can''t wait to get them together and have a lookie though!

Yes, "It is" finally all coming together isn''t it!

Thank you for sharing your pictures with me!

Hi Diamondseeker ~

Thank you!

And it was a pleasure to share my ering pic''s with you! Quite fun having Marie help us out ... if you know what I mean!

I really liked this setting before, but now ... with these pictures and angles with it ... I love it!

I don''t know if these

''s has helped you any ... or just made the insania worse?

Which one ... Which one

I think it would just be easier if we all could just have one of each ....
Thank you very much!

MrsDarlinJoy, your ring is beautiful! Can''t wait to see hand pics! Do you have an existing wedding band or are you looking for a one to go with it?

Hi Leila ~

Thank you!

I do have two lovely diamond wbands that my husband gave me this past Christmas

. They are not true hearts and arrows, however they do sparkle alot, and I am very happy with them.

They are very special to me

... maybe I think they sparkle so much because of the love in which they were given to me?

My husband didn''t think about getting any info other than he thought that they were "I" colored diamonds. So they are off to Rich Sherwood in FL. to get looked over, and that way we will have info/documentation on them and then know what to insure them for.

I found a pic of a wring that is close to how it looks, not exactly though, and they are half eternity ... not full.

Each of my diamond bands have 15 small little diamonds across the top, they go across from one finger to the other & you can''t tell face up that it is half eternity, and each ring has very delicate milgrain. Use your imagination with the picture below.

Hi DS ~

Oh heavens! I know "Exactly"! I do remember those dog-gone confusing days ... and restless nights of surfing!

I finally got to a point where I just had to admit to myself that "I

EVERYTHING!"

If I could just simply have

one of each design

... my life could return to some sort of mild normalacy!

However ... due to the fact that the $$$ tree out back was really just a mirage ... (Big Sigh) ... I knew that I had to get out the shovel and start digging in hopes of burried treasure, or had to at least narrow it down a bit. I told myself narrow it down to 5 rings since I don't like digging, and blisters are painful.

Personally I felt this was pure torture

, and pain-stakingly, almost impossible to do.

I ended up talking myself into "try to find something timeless that you like" and save the "frou-frou for the Right hand!"

I know you will eventually find "the setting" ... you just might have to endure a few more days/nights of restless sleep. I know it's a hard decision ... but hang in there!

Hi Galateia ~

Thank you for your comment!

I will try my best with getting hand

''s! I hope I can live up to the "PS" standard ... most of you gals have set that bar pretty dang high!

My daughter said tonight ... "Oh that means we get to go to that really nice

flower

market ... don''t we?!" Yup,yup we do!

Have to have flower

''s in addition to the hand

''s!

Hi KristyDarling ~

Thank you!

Oh boy! My "diamond''s" head is gonna swell with such kindness and flattery!

Oouuu ... "Fiery" ... Oh Yeah ... I like this vision!

My teenage son replied "Holy cow ... my eye! Your gonna hurt someone with that ring ... it''s really kind of blinding ... Careful you might put someone''s eye out with that when your driving ... It''s like a laser." Of course he then goes into a dramatic play of me blinding & puting out someones eye whilst driving

... rolling on the floor ... everyone is LOL!
