[MissGotRocks]

I knew you would love it! The color difference is substantial for sure but look at the cut of that ACA! Cut is king - so happy for you and so glad it worked out for you to have it before the wedding! I love happy endings and this one did not disappoint! Congrats!

Thank you guys so much! I just checked fed ex tracking and its being delivered tomorrow (friday)!!! i thought it would come today. Oh well!

Super excited for this ending and amazed how things played out.

With first thinking i would get the gsi1, then thinking putting it off to December/January, and being OK with that if that is what we needed to do, to then having a change in our circumstances to allow me to do it now and YES before the wedding.

I hadn't even really thought of that part, the wedding and having the updated ring for that day and pictures, its just so amazing!

Super excited to see the stone, to see how my 'new' ering looks, see the wedding band, try them together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG

i hope you guys don't get sick of me because i am going to be posting a lot.

Feeling so thankful for this site and all of you who helped me along this journey. Those who helped convince me to speak openly with fiance about it as i was truly just so worried to offend/hurt him. But YOU WERE RIGHT and being 100% transparent is always the way to go and he too is anxiously waiting the new rings arrival. He is also so thankful our situation changed and he was able now to help me make this change.

I'll post more tomorrow, Thank you guys. So very much.

And you surely can. Stick around with us as time permits for you. We all came as newbies and there is nothing like a good word from a satisfied consumer. It is hard at times to buy from a vendor, sight unseen, hoping that the ones guiding you are correct. There is always truth in numbers so those that have gone through the experience, like yourself, can be a great help to others.

Awesome pictures and videos!

This has been the most awesome thread! Congrats to you, @freedom2016 ! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride!

Your rings are just BEAUTIFUL and suit your hand perfectly. That ACA is just phenomenal and the sidestones really look fantastic next to it.

I am so glad your fiance loves it, too! Cheers all around!

 

[lulu_ma]

I love a happy ending!!! The ring is stunning. So happy that both you and your fiancé love it!!

 

[MissGotRocks]

@freedom2016 just curious if any of your friends or coworkers noticed a difference in your ring or do they assume it is the same ring?

Hi there
They all assume it’s the same and I’m not going to point it out to anyone! So no one has said anything.
But
I’m sooo happy and amazed at how incredible the aca is.

Also super thankful of the timing of it all.

Oh, question, I’m going to try and sell my K at some point. I wonder if I could sell it here.
I wonder if anyone with a lower budget that wants a 1 ct would be interested.
Is there an information section somewhere on here on how to sell preloved items?
I would know where to begin?

Here are some more pics although I’ve realized I’m terrible at taking them
I think my video really shows it’s true self

 

[lulu_ma]

Try Abe Mor to see how much they will give you for the K.

 

[MissGotRocks]

Your pictures are fine - sparkles are notorious for being hard to photograph! Your friends probably don’t remember it being so sparkly but they probably will never guess it is a new diamond. The good news about that is that it alleviates your fear of having to explain it all. Win-win!

There is the preloved forum here on PS. You would need to list it somewhere like LoupeTroop or eBay so that when you do a listing here, you can provide a link to the ring. Provide pictures and as much detail that you can - pic of the cert too will help! Decide on your asking price and you are set to go. @lulu_ma’s suggestion might very well be a good one too! Good luck!
