Hello PSers!

My wonderful (now) hubby purchased a beautiful 1.6 ACA H VS1 for me a few years ago, with your help. :)

Fast forward to a life event that changed my world and turned it upside down. I lost a beloved dog of mine that was my heart-dog. We lost her suddenly, she was not even two years old. My heart was broken.

I wanted to turn her ashes into a diamond and started looking into it. The prices range but for a 1ct, it was going to run me about $7,000.

Then, I thought, why? Why don’t I upgrade my diamond and have it for my husband and my beloved dog? I don’t wear much jewelry and probably wouldn’t wear another separate diamond anyways.

I gave WF inventory a search. Low and behold, the perfect stone at a reasonable price! (I had wanted to upgrade late last year but couldn’t find a stone that sang to me, met my color, clarity and price criteria. All the stones were either too included or out of my spend limit. So, I passed.) I jumped on it. It just felt right.

The upgrade was under way. All was going well until I was sent photos of the finished product and a prong was crooked. Shaped the way I wanted, but clearly crooked and not aligned with the diamond kite pattern. Back to the workshop it went. Round 2: prongs were even but now, much longer than I requested. I emailed back, frantic. Why did they change the prong shape and length when all I requested was to fix the north prong? Back to the workshop for round 3. Then, perfection!

It was supposed to be in my hands the next day. I got the shipping notification and it wasn’t overnighted as agreed upon in several emails and stated on the invoice. :confused: Four days later, it arrived.

There were a few bumps in the road but all of that melted away as I inspected my new diamond that held so much meaning for me. This is it. She is perfect.

Please help me welcome home my 1.9+ ACA G VS1 8.12-8.14 x 4.96 set in Vatche 1513 Felicity, size 6.5! :kiss2:

So sorry for the loss of your beloved pup! When our pets pass, they take a piece of our hearts with them to the rainbow bridge; and we can only look forward to being reunited with them when it’s our time. (Hugs)

Hoping your beautiful, new diamond & ring bring a smile to your face and spark loving memories & thoughts of both your husband & pet; wear it in the best of health & happiness! :wavey:

Thank you! I’m not sure which band as I don’t have a wedding band and don’t prefer stacking bands. I have a few bands I can try with it though!

It was meant to be. I was looking for something near but under 2 cts but at least 8mm wide, a color up and same or better clarity. I could hardly believe it when it popped up as a search result. Emailed WF straight away to make it mine!

I think of her all the time and will continue to think of her all the time. This diamond is a strong reminder that she is always with me, silly as it sounds.

Thank you so much. It was the worst week of my life after she passed. It gets a smidge easier each day.

Beautiful! How much bigger does it seem? I also have a 1.6 ACA and every once in awhile think about a 1.9.

Thank you. When I look at the ring, it reminds me of hubby and my sweet girl. I think I made the right choice. That... and getting a tattoo of her face soon.

Thanks! Actually it seems a lot bigger. Definitely noticeable. My 1.6 was 7.45x7.47x4.62 mm and my new diamond is 8.12x8.14x4.96 mm and I feel like I can see the difference pretty easily.

Which stone are you considering? :)

Please join me in congratulating Lvoeshinythings on this fabulous ring, and help me send our deepest condolences on her loss. https://www.pricescope.com/blog/memorial-aca-engagement-ring-upgrade-jotw :kiss2:

Whoa! Hey how cool! Thank you so much! I feel honored and so would Bella (my angel pup). It’s been a couple months now since “that day” and mostly I’m just glad I got to be her mommy. There are still dark moments (I don’t think those will ever go away) but there is a lot of light too.

Thank you for the feature.=)2

thank you. I went classic for this one and am sure glad I did. The little pave diamonds on my precious setting were starting to scratch my other fingers more and more. I’m also pleased with how open the gallery is so I can see more of the pavilion

Beautiful! the setting is perfect! I am so sorry about your pup.. I know how painful that can be.. wear it and remember your pup and the love you shared.

Thank you. I think of her a million times a day

Beautiful in every way, looks big on you too!!!

it’s those small hands! Heehee

This is just so beautiful! Love it! Congratulations!

thank you mrs. b!
