Sorry it took me awhile to post what i finally ended up with and i thank all members who had helped me a lot in my decision process. YOU guys are awesome! I can''t thank you all enough..
First let me explaine how i discovered this site. I bought a ring from ebay with a guaranteed return policy of 7 days.Needless to say, i surfed and researched like a hawk on the net for any customer reviews and experiences from that particular company and BINGO..pricescope appeared on my screen! One full day after i had the ring, it was on its way back to the seller. I did not even bother to have it appraised by an independent appraiser. What i knew then was to return it ... and return i did FAST! Though, i lost about $150 for the mail but no regrets because it led me to this site, PRICESCOPE!

I had been married for about 11 yrs. now. My first engagement ring is a simple 14k gold band with a diamond solitaire that looks like the tip of a pen(hubby was still in school). This very day, it is still sitting in my jewelry box. My second one was a total of about 2 ct with a center stone of about 1.5 ct , this one i lost together with my wedding band during our big move.At that time it was not insured anymore because my insurance was a rider to the house that we just sold. I could not even remember the day and time that i lost it. Best bet was i probably misplaced or lost it when the movers were packing our stuff less than a year ago. And yes, I have this bad habit of taking it off and just leaving it sitting in the counters ..HUH! Big lesson learned!

So this ring that i got from WHITEFLASH is actually my third ering. After 2 mos of asking " what you think?" i finally did it ! And i am soooo happy with my decision. Since i was looking for a pear, i was talking to four different vendors from this site..USA certed, DCD (allen), abazias ,and of course WHITEFLASH. USA certed was very nice but kind of slow in their response; James Allen so far was really nice , honest ,and have a great customer service ;Abazias was okay; and it is whiteflash that really made me happy! Based on what i read , GOG is a great company but can not run a search for a pear shape from their website. WHITEFLASH''s Katie and John (my fellow aquarian) answered my questions patiently, and without pressure. They also have a great lifetime upgrade policy which i think is just the BEST!

Now, where are the pics? That is exactly the reason of this late post. Been trying, testing , playing with my digital cam but couldn''t get a decent picture. Our computer camera did the trick but can''t download it here . Guys, i apologize but i guess this boring story is what i can share for now...

Whiteflash , the ring still sparkles like crazy but in my mind it is starting to shrink. Maybe time for an uprade but hubby says a firm "NO!!!!!!!!!!"(esp. after i lost the other one). Kidding aside , you guys are great people and more power! And to all the wonderful people here, can''t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart!
mwahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Congrats on your new stone!! I think many of usl share a great appreciation for finding this site before we made a big mistake!(But don''t you know the unwritten rule here that you simply can''t post about a new stone without a picture??? Didn''t WF send you one?)

sevens one, thanks! if hubby says no for an upgrade maybe losing this is worth a try.

kidding aside, i''m really careful now. if i take it off it goes back to its original whiteflash case and besides this is already insured thru my homeowners policy.again, thanks for the compliments! i will try again to get a nicer picture of it on my finger.

Now brace yourself for a bad pun...


When he put your new e-ring on, did your man say

"...This is the 'donning' of the (eng)AGE(ment) of Aquarius" ??

My man did not say anything because i wear it on my own.. without help at al!! LOL! who can resist??? after picking package from FEDEX immediately rip the box off(which is kind of hard to do)and dealt with layers of wrap and finally saw the whiteflash box and john you were right..the fire is indeed wonderful!

I totally agree with you Julian. I haven''t even gotten my first engagement ring yet (radiant cut stone) and already I want a pear, asscher, oval and cushion.

Aquarius, your ring looks beautiful!! I think it''s PERFECT on your hand. Such a sight!!! Why do I keep finding the posts of women whose ring sizes are so much smaller than mine? I always thought, "well, my boyfriend''s lucky...I only have a 4.75 size ring finger." And then I hear of radiantlover''s finger which is 2.75?!!! And your 3.75? I''M SO ENVIOUS!! Really though, that new pear is amazing on your hand.

hi julian, thanks a lot for the compliments! i am exactly wondering the same question...maybe because it is expensive esp. that we are pricescope oriented(if u know what i mean
emquestion.gif
) My first was a round, then a marquise, and now a pear but i am starting to like a princess again....never ending story!!Actually we are planning to do a big move again that''s why my hubby agreed to buy me a new ring otherwise.....

Hon, you are gonna have to take MORE and BIGGER pics of that thing, cuz I ain''t seen NEARLY enough of this stone. Not even close to enough. More more more. What is the length to width ratio on that lovely specimen?

thanks a lot!
I do have an anorexic finger but my knuckles are obese!LOL! i would rather have a bigger size finger with a correctly sized knuckle. it is a constant struggle trying to take off and wear my ring .i am starting to have a calloused finger! you are lucky. 4.75 for me is a perfect size.
