Very happy HPD/CBI/Wink Jones customer! My 2.66 K 3 stone...

[lydial]

Hi all, I am posting 2 threads today. My other thread about my Steven Kirsch cluster is up as well!

But this thread is to formally thank Layla, Jamie, Wink, Melissa and the whole HPD team for helping me to attain my CBI dream ring. And to show off the K color which is rich and sexy and drool worthy! Folks who want some size and sparkle without the giant price tag, consider a CBI K!!!!

I already posted about it so I apologize for the redundancy but thanks were in order!

I found HPD here of course, while I was researching my cluster. When I realized that I couldn’t use my 1.58 ct H/VS1 60/60, I looked into trading it in. I would not use the B&M where I bought it, nor my current beloved B&M... I do have one of those, but they aren’t as knowledgeable about diamonds as PS!!!

This 2.66 K was barely affordable for me but they helped with a great resale of my H, and I squeezed in under the level I could afford after a very very busy work year and a pretty nice bonus.

So I was able to reset my original e-ring side stones into this knock out glorious 3 stone that I very well may wear for the rest of my life! Pairing it with a simple platinum milgrain band.

Enjoy!

I also want to thank everyone who helped me with the setting on this thread...

I also posted this thread about possibly paying more to get a J than my K. Most people said to do it, but in the end I decided I was already at the max-max-max budget for me. And I honestly have NO Regrets about staying with my K!! In most lighting you can’t see a tint, just a slight warm richness.

If anything I would someday love to be able to upgrade into one of HPDs new 3+ beauties!!

I think your K is AMAZING! It doesn't look like what one would think a K looks like because of its superb cut. I love the huge size and the setting is fabulous. I hope you enjoy it in the best of health and happiness for many years to come.

Eeeks I did not realize how "dry" my hands look in those hand shots! That is clay! (I do pottery...)

 

[MissGotRocks]

Your new ring is just lovely!!

 

[JT123]

So beautiful!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Gorgeous classic ring and one of my favorites! Both rings are fabulous!

 

[DorotheaBrooke]

Classic and beautiful on your hand! Love the size.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Beautiful pair of rings! . nothing wrong with a K color stone as long as it is well cut.

 

[hypermom]

Your wedding set is gorgeous! The proportions on your engagement ring with center stone and sides is perfect. Great job! I had no idea that a wedding band with just milligrain/engraving could look so great. I guess you don't need diamonds on a wedding band to have a good looking set. (Wait a minute, did I just say that?)

 

[arkieb1]

Gorgeous, congrats!!!

 

[elizat]
