. Would I love to have an E Or F? You betcha! But my pocket wouldn’t like it. Hahaha. Enjoy your beauty!!!
I was on it for years actually and prepared to be on it for another decade(s)
Been only couple days..... but....
I think its shrinking...... DSS is real!!!
Nope, never stop taking pictures because you’ve done good!
Went for a walk and my DD said: “Stop taking pictures!!”
Lol its always been like that right.. before we really own it, we’ll think its enough
I need to learn to take a good picture of bling... its so hard...
Don’t they know mommy needs a distraction from their constant screaming and online schooling??!!!
Yesterday during our walk I was taking pictures of my hand facing in the sky and my middle said: “Come on mommy!! Stop taking pictures of the sky!!”
I think mommy needs some me time to just take some pictures of her new bling!
btw, love love love your pictures!!! How can it be so clear? Mine are blurry all the time, did you use tripod????
Oh @munchee I SO feel you! The scene you described is exactly why I am searching for an OEC--I deserve it!
but I don’t think she even listen to what I said.
I knowwww.... thats also the reason I’ve been spending blings these days!!!! My last bling purchase was back in 2017, even before that I didn’t buy much at all. But this year alone I bought 3rings, update my studs, I need to stay sane, I’m literally going insane!!!! I envy moms that still can go out to work, being locked with these little ones 24/7 for a year seriously is damaging my mental health!!!
safe at home = spendy at home
You’re funny... Thank you!!! Wish you found some gold and get the blings you want!Finally!!! After long search its here!!
This is a new milestone for me. Being a stay at home mom with no income and be able to save money and earn some additional income without actually working to get this ring without begging my DH to buy it for me and he can’t say anything to me spending what he said “spending it ridiculously for a single piece of rock”. And I did it!!!! Don’t know how now that I think back, but the most important thing is I did it without robbing anyone!!!! This ring is a symbol for me that nothing is impossible.
I begin my hunt from November 2020, I started with looking for 2.8-3ct J color from Virtual vendors with Super ideal parameters and I was surprised to found out that there’s not a big price difference from virtual vendors Vs. Super ideal vendors if the stones are within Super Ideal parameters. I found out if its low 2ct-ish there’s a big price jump but within 2.8-3ct-ish, not so much. I don’t know if its because when I was looking there were limited stocks in the market so the cheaper ones were taken. Bottomline, there was not much price difference at the time I was searching. So I stick with Super Ideal vendors. My center diamond search journeys are in other threads.
For other people, it makes sense to find the stone first and set it temporarily and get permanent setting later. But thru this journey, I found out that I want a ring, which contains of the diamond and the right setting. So for me the setting is as important as the diamond. When I was looking for a setting I fell in love with Emilya Halo from Victor Canera.
I’ve been looking for a diamond everywhere, I contacted WF, HPD so many times, too many times and only VC have a diamond within my range. WF got more 2.9-3ct H on November but at that time I was looking for a J color diamond (my budget that time only get me J color). By the time I have more budget for 2.8-3ct G/H all of the good ones are taken. So it was like it wasn’t meant to be and this one diamond was at the right place at the right time.
It was still being cut and I had to wait for about a month to just take a look of it.
I asked Victor to make the Emilya shank wider than what he usually made. And I asked for 6 prongs instead of 4. I am extremely happy with how the ring turns out. Owning a diamond this size has been my dream, and with this setting its just feels right. I’m not used to say “How beautiful is something that I own”. I only can say I enjoy looking at my ring, so much that I was staring at it and took tons of pictures of it.
For Victor Canera workmanship I don’t think I need to say any further, its just like what everyone said. He knows what he’s doing and he mastered it! I would love to have another project with him! Victor and his team has been awesome to me. Usually I got to stick with 1 SA but this entire process I got to know Victor, Nathan and Nicholas. I can’t thank you enough for the prompt responses and didn’t get annoyed with my tons of emails. Thank you for finishing the ring in 2 weeks and still nailed it!
Not posting pictures feels like hit and run and just not right.... Here are some pictures I owe to all PSers that has been helping me thru the entire journey. I can’t thank you all enough for all the advices and keeping me sane. Thank you all for lending me your ears (eyes) to listen (read) to all my dilemmas. No one can understand the struggle inside my head & my heart better than PSers! I don’t want to tag because I’m afraid I left someone out.
PS. This is a size 4.25 ring but I think its too loose, I should’ve get size 4.
The drive back home from FedEx was a dangerous one
Got time while picking up my DD from school.
Went for a walk and my DD said: “Stop taking pictures!!”
Thank youuu!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words that means a lot!!!
Because a lot of people here is better with money than I do. So I’m not recommending going on stock market without any knowledge. I’ve seen my friends got couple looses too because they just enter the market like everyone elses does. Tbh, to be able to make this purchase, all of my stock can’t be sold at a loose, all the stock at least make 40% return, many 90%ish and couple boom one like tsla, apple, roku. Otherwise its not possible for me to get this stone. And to be able to do that I was learning about it first, so its not as easy as it seems. I didn’t say it in my previous posts because I don’t want to derail it from the bling. But now I’m afraid that any reader here will go to stock market without researching.
