Diamond studs! YAY!

[Independent Gal]

How long have I longed for a pair of diamond studs?! A loooong time! Well, I told myself that when my book was finally done, under contract with the publisher, and with all corrections finished (which will be in about an hour from now) that I would get myself some diamond earrings. On Thursday, I'm going to NYC to meet up with my dad and sister, and I'm going to take the manuscript by hand and bring it to the publisher. The contract is signed and sealed. All we're waiting for is for me to deliver.

When I get back to the town where I live, guess what will be waiting for me?

AGS000 diamond studs, 0.9ct total weight in platinum, 3 prong martini settings.

I just saw those diamond studs on SP''s website this morning and thought that''s a really good deal! I am so excited for you! Can''t wait to see them! Congratulations on getting your book published too! You totally deserve it Indy! So happy for you!

Congratulations, Indy, on the book and the earrings! I cannot wait to see some earshots!

Indy, Woooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooo on the book, how exciting!!!

That is so awesome, you rock!!!!!!!!!

What a great treat, you totally deserve them!!!!! Great size too; I am ecstatic for you, honey!!!!

 

[Independent Gal]

Thanks guys!

SNLEE, it certainly was an amazing deal. I wasn't actually planning on buying them quite yet, or spending that much! But when I saw that deal, I jumped at it. So far, no buyers' remorse... but thankfully the 30 day return policy is insurance against possible buyers remorse!

I hope the I colour doesn't bug me. My e-ring is an E and I like it that way. But then, I won't be the one looking at these while they're on, and no one will be that close to my ears! Except DH?

I would have jumped at it too if I didn''t already have a pair! I''m sure you''ll love them! They sound fabulous! I love the 3 prong martini settings too! I''m sure the color won''t bother you. I have an F color ering and I color studs and I don''t notice any color at all. On the ears all you see are white sparkles. I am really glad you bought them so we get to see lots of pictures and ear shots!

Ditto!

 

[MissGotRocks]

What a beautiful gift to celebrate your book! That''s two big accomplishments at once - enjoy the sparklies and best of luck with the book!

 

[miraclesrule]

First, major props on the book deal!! That''s awesome news

Second, you better stay so far away from me with those studs, cause I covet them already.

They look and sound amazing and I can''t wait to see an ear picture. Video is actually better, so we can see the movement.

Congratulations on finishing your book! Nice earrings too.

 

[Independent Gal]

Thanks guys!

Hey, I have a question: I thought that AGS000 meant excellent cut/symmetry/polish... but suddenly I wonder whether it means D/IF/excellent cut? In which case these are obviously not AGS000!

Just curious. All my other bling is GIA. I''m an AGS newbie.
