trade to emerald cut done!

[justjulia]

I traded (I''m done saying "up"grade because this felt like a nice lateral move in a way--I yo yo) my 2.5 K princess for this 1.35 E emerald cut. Although nicely cut as that princes was, I had wanted the look of an ec back. This one caught my eye and I snapped it up. We are getting to know each other and so far so good. I spent the difference on a pair of 2ctw studs (which I thought I would never like but the size is actually ok-not as gimongous as I feared). This way, I can fit in at work (not appear too out there as in "I still need this job thank you") and then flash the studs when I''m out dining and I get that insecurity thing (you know what I''m saying). Ok, so what do you think of it?
Oh, and btw, those of you that know how many times I''ve traded would appreciate the funny in this- the jeweler said that the setting almost didn''t go back together this time!!

Does that make this lucky stone number 13? LOL. Am I just impatient and more pics are coming, or just the first? Cuz I'd love to see more!!!

ETA: I also saw this latest jump was from a K to an E. Was that coincidence, or not? How did you decide on this stone? You said you wanted more of an EC look - did you go down in size and up in color purposely?

Sorry for the confusion--this will continue under the thread, "traded again princess to emerald..."
I should have added to that one instead of started this one. My bad. julia
