Any update? Did you get the ring yet? Can''t wait to see pics!

Should be any day now. He has been working on it for the last 2 weeks or so. Don''t want to rush it obviously!

 

[ddcha]

Folks, homestretch. I should be picking up on Friday or Saturday. Can anyone recommend an appraiser and make recommendations on what I should be getting appraisal for? Anyone know or have experience with David Wolf?

I obviously want to be sure that the stone is the one on my GIA certificate, without any damage from the mounting.
Then I guess I can ask them to recommend total carat weight of all the pave and the quality of the pave? Not sure if this is all overkill. Should I insure it? Please advise.

I decided to go with Dave wolf on the appraisal. We''re going in tomorrow to see the ring. Mark Turnowski sent us some preview pics! What do you think?!?!?

Thank you for all your kind comments and help in the process! More pics to follow, promise. Still needs to get sizing beads, engraving (inside), and needs to take a trip to Dave Wolf before we bring it home.

Oh, and jennkim27, I''m the husband, and this is for my wife Dianna.

Of course we don''t mind you brightening up the pictures. they look great, thanks! We went and took a look in person on Friday. Dianna couldn''t stop smiling. We should have the ring at home by the end of the week. We promise to take a bunch of handshots then. Thanks for all your kind feedback!

 

[AmberGretchen]

The ring looks lovely - I''m so glad to hear your wife loves it!!

Nice ring! Hey do you know if Wolf does something like diamond verification (match with the GIA report) instead of a full appraisal?

 

[16ocean]

Be- U-T-FUL!

Happy 10th to the both of you

Thanks. Not sure if Wolf does that, but he''s very accessible via phone and you can ask. He has a strong reputation and has been around a long time. www.justappraisers.com is his url.

 

[starshine]

DREAMY!! Well done!!

 

[ddcha]

No handshots yet (in transit and we get it tomorrow). But here are some pics that David Wolf (appraiser) took. It apparently had some polish left on it, which was steamed off and boiled this morning.

another

 

[ddcha]

you can see the polish on this one.
