A thank you to Ali, Andrey, dimendSCAASI and Pricescope at large

I joined Pricescope December 14th, 2007 when I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Tiffany Swing Ring. Never did find it really, because I found LIW and Colored Stones instead. And so I stuck around. I haven''t been around as long as most people who have been given the Pricescope gift, but I am so happy to have received it. And I am absolutely delighted to be a member of this wonderful community--you guys have gone through A LOT of stuff with me, my mom''s passing, my engagement, wedding planning and soon my wedding. That''s a lot of milestones for less than 2 years. Not to mention all of the jewelry and gemstone purchases!

This particularly has been one of the most frustrating journeys of my life, BUT one of the most rewarding as well.

So a special thank you to:
Ali and Andrey, without whom this would not have been possible but especially for their amazing hospitality and generosity.
Alexa at dimendSCAASI who screamed at far too many people every day for over a month, and put up with all of my emails.
Bob, my local Post Office manager who helped me when the post office people elsewhere wouldn''t.
My fellow Pricescopers, who have helped keep me sane (kinda!), worried along side of me and patiently listened to me whine throughout this process.

As for the specs:
2.74ct Blue spinel cut by the master Barry Bridgestock
8.3mm
set in 1A1A by dimendSCAASI in 18kt white gold
Size 7

Big Blue arrives (In April!)

USPS Registered Mail thread of doom

So 65 days after it left my hands, it returns home....

And because I''m a brat, lets start with FedEx pics!

dimendSCAASI also sent me a thing of jewelry cleaner--woot!

(And I took a bajillion more pics of boxes, but so you don''t kill me, decided to not post those.)

Maybe the finger hair will show up here...(ETA: It did! And that's Brie out of focus at the top, wondering what the heck I'm doing with this little metal thing!)
