#TBT 2.3 ctw diamond studs...almost here!!

[LLJsmom]

I received an email today that my studs will be arriving ahead of schedule. woo-hoo!! I will do THE pick up tomorrow. So excited. Wanted to share pics from WF. Liza and Vera have just gone above and beyond. I would be more than happy to work with them and the WF team again. I see why they won that award.

It's not obvious to me which one is the WF stone and which is my old stone. I am guessing the one on the right is my old stone. I am hoping it will be clear when I look at them tomorrow. It would be hilarious if I couldn't figure it out.

Oops, forgot to add specs: 1.11 F, VS1/1.2 G SI1 (no clue which is which)




And just for fun, I included the picture of the first pair, (I, VS2, 1.6ctw)

Yay! I am sure they will look fabulous in your ear. This is the size you were dreaming of
Happy pick-up and please come back with many pics.

I'm just pulling your leg!... .. There's no way I can tell the difference from the pic, probably not even IRL...

 

[MissGotRocks]

They do look pretty well matched - can't wait to see them!

 

[m-2-b]

Great news! I hope this pair will knock your socks off!

 

[bright ice]

Those are going to be fabulous. I bet you won't be able to tell the difference.

 

[arkieb1]

They look great, getting excited for you

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Very pretty!

 

[Laila619]

I am glad you decided to use your old e-ring stone for the studs after all!! Smart choice!

 

[Acinom]

Oh my... I feel your studs are getting closed. 'Tomorrow' morphed into 'today' ... Come back soon with lots of pics

 

[LLJsmom]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for being excited for me. I picked them up today, and...

I. LOVE. MY. STUDS.

I love everything about them. They are so white and sparkly and just perfect. I feel so perfectly and permanently blinged out. They are everything that I hoped for. Big, sparkly and white. I am glad I have not bought a single pair of earrings since I got my ears pierced last November. Because it would have been pointless. I am NEVER taking these off except for their nightly cleanings.

The settings are delicate and PERFECT. The delivery was seemless. The Whiteflash team is unbelievable. Thank you to Liza for finding me this perfect match. I could not tell them apart in the car. I had to loupe it when I got home, to find the inscription.

Honestly, I LOST my mind cause I took a million (albeit crappy) iphone pics. I may try to ask my DH to do some with the SLR, but it will have to be while they're in my ears cause I am NOT taking them off. I even took pics of the fedex box. Yeah, THAT crazy. So bear with me through all these photos. You guys have all been awesome, being so understanding with all my indecisiveness and wishy-washiness. It just took me a while to get here.

Three layers of packing?? WF, I'm impressed...

 

[LLJsmom]

Sorry, PS ate my post!

From this pic, I think the F is the one on the right.


And then I'm confused again when I look at this pic.

 

[LLJsmom]

OMG, yes, there's more...

Sorry, I'm anal. Left side shots in the car. Wanted to get some shots in fading daylight.

 

[LLJsmom]

AND...some more...

Right side shots in the daylight.

 

[LLJsmom]

And more...in family room lighting...

God, I almost feel sorry for you guys. If you're clicking away from this thread, I TOTALLY understand...







Crazy how it's the same room, but such different shades on the pictures.

 

[LLJsmom]

Ok, final batch. Promise.





Phew...done. wait, let me find the DH and the SLR...

Just kidding, enough for one night, I think.

 

[Acinom]

They are fabulous!!! I loved the other pair on you as well, but this is total gorgeousness. I am so glad you followed your gut feeling.

Great choice
Great taste
Totally fabulous studs

I already know I am going to stalk this thread.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Looking good LLJ!!... Those are big suckers!

 

[MissGotRocks]

They do look very white and very big! Glad you found a solution that worked out for you - enjoy them!

You should do another SMTB thread for them - never too many pictures!

 

[bright ice]

Oh My They look fabulous on you, so beautifully white and sparkly. You made a great decision!

 

[lknvrb4]

Those are stunning, I love that size. Perfection!!!!!

 

[RosieR]

Wowzer!
Those are perfect!
Excellent size, so well proportioned on the ear
Enjoy

 

[mrs-b]

THERE WE GO!

Ahhhhhhh! Perfect! You can really see the size difference from the earlier pair, and these fill your ear lobe beautifully.

Good gut instinct, LLJsmom!

 

[Mayk]

Stunning! Thank you for all the pictures!!! They are fabulous... I would love to upgrade someday to 2 cttw studs!!!

 

[Monnyjay]

Beautiful! I always thought a carat in each ear was way too big, but they look lovely and a perfect size. Glad to see you
finally got what you wanted and are happy.

 

[junebug17]
