A watched pot never boils...

[velouriaL]

Michael and I have a actually been communicating about some design tweaks (which, I think, are really going to improve the prong/crown area). I''ve seem some pictures of the in-progress setting, but I''d really rather wait until the thing is done and post pictures of the whole process.
So, soon... but not yet.

Michael has been so wonderful to work with. If anyone is wary about the "impersonal" aspect of buying online, I say check out Michael E. It''s so cool... When I met HouMedGal, she said that he created her dream ring, just by communicating via e-mail. Isn''t that neat?

ooooooooooooohhh, I am so not good at waiting. Gonna have to have some Cabo Wabo tequila tonite to calm the jitters. Yep, yep, that''ll help a bit. I''m glad you''re taking the whole waiting thing better than the rest of us. I haven''t been this excited about a ring since I did my own.

 

[velouriaL]

Thanks, Matata... Your excitment is so... exciting! I have some left over vicodin if you need it... Just kidding, of course...

In case anyone is wondering, we''re doing some engraving on the prongs to make it a bit more detailed... kinda like a faux fishtail setting... I can''t really explain, but I think it will be great!

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh that sounds really nice. I can''t wait to see this work of art!!!!

 

[HOUMedGal]

OOOOooooohhhh I like the sound of that!!! Man, this ring just keeps getting better and better....V, I can''t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it''s true, Michael E. DID create my dream ring for me from only a written description and a pic of a ring that I wanted it to look similar to. I didn''t see any pics until the finished product, so I was kinda nervous that he''d get completely done and it wouldn''t be perfect and I''d have to ask him to change some things...but NO! It was perfection. Absolute perfection.

Valeria, I''m so excited to see your ring! It''s going to be absolutely stunning! The wait must be killing you... It''s going to be beautiful, though--with your stone and a Michael E. mounting, how could it not be spectacular?

Maybe we should start some sort of special LIW thread for the ladies who are waiting for their custom rings. It''s kind of a scary process...

 

[Matata]

Tick tock, tick tock.....sigh.

 

[MissAva]

Allright I think I may have to go and have a wee vist with MR Micheal...I want to see some pics! I am dying to know how it looks.

 

[MINE!!]

waiting

 

[belle]

ooooohhh....was hoping the pot was boiling! i was only looking out of the corner of my eye!

 

[MissAva]

So...any word yet? I only want to see a few (read 20 or so) pictures of your ring. Pretty please with cherry on top...

 

[velouriaL]

The best things come to those who wait, ladies and gents... fear not!

 

[BrightSpot]

---this is gonna be one fabulous ring!

 

[MissAva]

I think all the water has evaporated by now...

 

[BrightSpot]

ROTFLOL, matatora!

 

[Kaleigh]

Nothing?????

 

[velouriaL]

Naw... I''ve just turned the heat down a little bit... think of it more of a crockpot!

Anway, M.E. and I have been in communicati0ng and I know where''s at on the ring and I''m expecting it soon. He''s really kept me in the loop and been really professional and sweet, so I don''t really mind the delay. Quite the perfectionist, though! Not that I''m complaining!

I''ll fill you in on more of the details when it''s all done!
It''s so cute that you guys are following my thread!


Oh! And by "crockpot" I dont mean, like, a "crock".... I mean, like, potroast...Mmmm... potroast.... yummy...

 

[belle]

how is it that this thread always seems to find the direction of food!?

still looking forward to that ring!

 

[velouriaL]

Now I''m all ready to launch into treatise on American women''s (me including) food obession... hah! I''d rather focus on jewelry obsession, no?

 

[BWise]

Okay girls, this is going to far. I did not jump in the water because I don''t want to be boiled. But still no sign of the pictures, after we hear about ''engraving on the prongs''. I cannot take this anymore!

Please, maybe just one sneak peek?

 

[velouriaL]

Relax... all in good time, I promise!

I hope all the hype doesn''t detract from your perception of the ring when it''s finally ready to be posted! It''s not a summer movie, you know!

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh no don''t worry about that!!! It is going to be AMAZING!!!!!

 

[flopkins]

Ok, I swear I''ve been following this thread for what feels like weeks now and STILL NOTHING... ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh!!!

Patience is NOT one of my strong suits. Please put me out of my misery SOON!
