3rd Anniversary Bling!

[Mara]

Today is our third anniversary (actually it''s 12:05am here so technically YESTERDAY was our 3rd anniversary!!)...how time flies when you are having fun!!

I secretly wanted to commemorate the anniversary with some bling, but waited til Greg indicated that he wanted to get me something for this year before I showed him a few things I had been looking at.

He liked this particular item...and when I showed him the one that was within the budget he gave me initially, he said it seemed too small and he wanted the next size larger!!

Me not wanting to look a diamond gift-horse in the mouth (and after he called me a ''diamond chicken'' for wanting the smaller ctw size!)...he made the call and sealed the deal and it arrived this morning, right on time.

So without further ado...my new anniversary 1.5ctw ACA shared prong bracelet bangle!! Thanks so much to the Whiteflash team for being so wonderful to work with as usual. We are both incredibly pleased with the beautiful piece!! It''s blingalicious...it is taking a little to get used to since I don''t wear that much jewelry but I am trying to be more open-minded about that, lol!!

[Mara]

last one for now...a ''bigger picture'' shot. greg says that my left hand is blinding now!!

 

[Mara]

Gorgeous blingy bangle Mara. Looks stunning and SO GOOD with your rings. By the way love your nails what's the colour? It looks so summery and teams so well with your skin colour.

 

[Mara]

Thanks Ebree and Kate!! I agree that the bracelet works nicely with my rings. When you buy sight unseen you are never quite sure but it worked out quite well thank goodness. Greg wanted to wear it but it wouldn't fit on him...hahaha. He gets such mega hubby props...he is definitely basking in the glow...hehee.

Kate it's funny you ask about the nail color because I knew PS'ers would appreciate it!! I just got it last week, it's an OPI color called Melon of Troy. I have been wanting kind of a soft melon/salmon color and this one is perfect! It's not too bright yet not too subtle either. I got a pedi with it today and it looks great. Definitely recommended with a summer tan.

Happy ann. Wow, that braclet just looks great on you. Just love the ring, love the braclet, love the color of your nails. How many stones are there? They throw off such sparkles.

Congratulations on your anniversary and your beautiful bracelet! I love it! It looks fantastic with your rings, tan and nails! And I love that your husband called you a diamond chicken-hilarious! That''s a dangerous thing to say to a girl who love diamonds!

Happy anniversary Mara and Greg! So sweet of Greg to auto-upgrade you to the next size. That is one well-trained hubby!

The size of the stones is PERFECT -- not too big, not too small. Great choce! And girl, you look hot! (and toned. I think I hate you) Congrats!!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I love that bracelet!!! It does look wonderful with your rings! What width is the bracelet and what size are the stones just to give us some perspective?

 

[AGBF]

It''s gorgeous, Mara. I love the detail one can see in the enlargement. Thank you for the link from Hangout, too! I might have missed this thread had you not provided that. Wear it in good health!
