The saga continues!
I love my jeweler. He''s going to be setting my beautiful pear in a platinum bezel engraved with the same star pattern that''s on my wedding ring with a crescent bale in yellow gold - wearable with everything, and doubtless to be beautiful.
Seriously, he''s incredibly talented and he''s just generally awesome, but ... it takes SO LONG. I handed my stone off to him before Christmas - I know, all jewelers are swamped at Christmas. We has THREE attempted meetings last week that fell through, but this week I dropped by and saw the wax for the bezel (thicker than I''d envisioned, but it does make the stone look huge ...), and Friday I''m due to see him so we can consult on the bale.
He swears it''ll be done by V-Day.
Nevertheless, so frustrated! I feel like a whiny little kid who''s all "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaant!" about the latest cool toy. (Not that I wouldn''t love an iPad, too.) But I figured that since misery loves company, maybe y''all could assuage my impatience?
Alternately, can any of you give me tips where to find on good chains?
