Hi Ivana!!!

So good to see you around again!!! I am so in LOVE with your set!!! Its just gorgeous!!!! Enjoy it- its AMAZING!!!!

 

[dani13]

Ivana-

Just wanted to ask you- how easy or difficult was it to have the original head on your setting swapped out for a larger one to accomadate the larger stone? Was it a hard process? Also, did you trade-in your original stone or keep it? If you didnt keep it, how do you feel about it?

Sorry for all the questions- can you tell I am considering an upgrade myself at some point???

OHMYEVERLOVIN'GOODLORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KILLER ring, Ivana! Gorgeous, simply honkingly, hugely, blindingly GORGEOUS!!!!

OK... so what is WRONG with this picture???! We have similar sized stones (mine's even a wee, wee bit bigger), our settings are the same width, AND we have the EXACT SAME FINGER SIZE, but Miss IVANA'S looks *HUGE!* and MINE looks like a... a... pinpoint!!!! WAH WAH!!!!

I am seriously serious! Why doesn't MINE look BIG to ME????!!!!

I think I need professional help.

 

[FireGoddess]

Holy schnikies.

Not only is that a big ole rock, but you must have teeny tiny bone fingers. That sucker is enormous!!!! And seriously gorgeous.

 

[Mara]

OMG Woman that is HUGE!!! I can''t even believe it''s a 2.2 on a 4.75 finger!!! It looks MASSIVE! And really beautiful, congrats!

 

[BunniBling]

It''s already been said, but I can''t resist:

That''s the biggest 2.2 I''ve ever seen! And it''s gorgeous! Congrats!!

[DMBsGirl]

Your ring is absolutely beautiful!

 

[roppongi]

Ivanadiamond....please tell me about your eternity band, it is breathtaking and spectaucular. I would love to know the specs on it

[ivanadiamond]

thank you all for your compliments, I told my hubby he done good! I took a few more pics of the profile

Dani- I did have to trade in my stone to upgrade to this diamond, there is no way it would have been in our budget otherwise. I actually had chipped my old stone and didn''t find out about it until it was getting cleaned at my mom''s jewelers. He inspected it under a loop and showed me where I must have banged it- Jewelers Mutual was so so amazing, they made the process so painless and fast. Once I picked a new ring I took it back to Matthew''s, a Michael B. retailer and they reset it within a week. I loved my old stone, but always wanted to go bigger. And as much as I would love to say it was hard to part with my old stone it, I couldn''t wait to get my hands on my new ring

Lynn B. You are crazy girl! I could only wish my ring looked as big as yours, it''s not even close. I think pictures have a funny way of making rings look bigger than real life. I have been lusting after your ring forever!!!!

 

[dani13]

Thanks Ivana!!! So, how do they do it (re-set the new stone)? Do they remove the existing head and replace it with a new one? I am assuming the process is not that painful?

 

[ivanadiamond]

Hi Roppongi- I got my eternity band a few years ago from Signed Pieces, I am not sure what size each diamond is but it goes 3/4''s of the way around and the total carat weight is around 2.20 as well. I worked with Isaac and he is amazing and super helpful. I believe they are f and g color stones and vs1 and vs2, but I would have to dig up my paper work to tell you for sure

Danni- They take off the whole head and completely make a new one for you based on the diameter of your new stone. They charged me $350 to redo the head. The only painful part was leaving my stone for a week, other than that it was really easy.

drool worthy pics...you are awesome for taking such great pics of such a beautiful diamond.

Now, you mean 20 carats, not 2.2 because that rock looks GINORMOUS and a lot bigger than 2.2 carats.

Wowoowowowo......being saved to my harddrive...what a beaut!

Congrats!
