"Diamondholic"

[didiamond]

Hi everyone!

I thought I would share with you my jewelry collection. This is a pic of my rings. I know...I'm spoiled rotten (greatful but spoiled). I just can't get enough of diamonds!

To answer a few questions from the other thread....

moremoremore..I have been married for almost 19 years. I've always loved diamonds but I guess in the last 10 years or so I've REALLY been starting my "collection". I have tried many different shapes over the years and these are the ones that I think suit me best. (Although there are still changes to be made...I'll talk about that later!!

) Luckily I have a hubby that doesn't go bonkers on my every whim! I didn't say that he was "happy" about it...mostly he ignores me until I wear him down!!!

sevens one...Can you point out which one you remember?

Thanks for letting me share!!


Oh BTW, the opal and the tanzanite were my MIL's rings. They are a little "large" for my taste!

 

[MelissaSue]

ooooh.. yummy!! I loove all your diamonds!! Esp. all those 3 stones..

You are a lucky girl..

 

[marriahlyn]

All your rings are gorgeous. I especially love the pear wrap around ring, how cool!!

My dh is a banker and we gotta keep that money in our savings account

 

[Jennifer5973]

I would like the pear and the fancy yellow, please. Just FedEx to "J.Flo." Thanks.

Wow, I'm not showing my wife this picture :. I love the ring to the bottom left hand corner..the 2 leaves. My wife would love that ring.

 

[sevens one]

OH DIDI- I would wear that everyday too. Did hubby pick it out all by himself? I love that one......

Hey which ring from the ring finger selections do you like to wear the most?

Those radiants are hot- hell, they're all hot.

Yea and all I got was a letter and a crappy tshirt.

Really though, gorgeous gorgeous rings...*leaves this page up for fiancee*

didiamond, I've admired your rings on DT; it's good to see you posting here! You have exquisite taste and beautiful hands.

 

[reena]

you and j-flo are my idols!

 

[Carmel]

Holy Toledo!! You have more rings than the Medusa has serpents! I don’t know what that really means . . . it just sounded exotic. Nice collection, though. I think I might want to go trick-or-treating at your house.

 

[lindsal]

Okay. A) Your husband should give lessons on how to deal with purchasing, buying process, debate, consternation and and distriution of genuine smiles and smiles of satisfaction that those rings give you ( and vicariously all of us). I am sure you all could charge a pretty penny, therefore enabling more smile-icious rings and pictures of them.

B) Beautfiful collect, and I agree with Carmel, I'm coming trick or treating at your house.

C) I especially love the pear shaped ring, and until today, I was never a big fan of pears.

Thanks for sharing these great droolworthy smile-icious rings with us.

 

[k8]

Your rings are absolutely beautiful! Two quick questions, what is your ring size and which one is your original engagement ring?

thanks for sharing!

 

[KBerly]

DiDi-absolutely drool worthy

thanks so much for sharing these gorgeous pics with us. and i will be right behind carmel trickortreating at your house...

 

[yellowfan]

Diane,

Your collection is my dream! I love your yellow diamond! You are one lucky lady!


Best,
Lori

Jenn you have such a refreshing sense of humor. Too funny.

Didiamond, many compliments on your stunning ring collection. I have seen your rings' pics on DT from links here, but have been unable to comment as I no longer post there. I have also admire your great sense of humility through your posts.

Welcome to Pricescope. I haven't been able to be here much lately but have enjoyed reading your posts.

vtigger you are so funny. How can you be sure your wife does not frequent here?

Indeed I also meant to add how pretty your hands are. They are incredibly very young looking, didiamond.

[didiamond]

Thank you everybody for the kind words! I can see that I'm going to love hanging out here as long as you'll have me!

Now, please be patient with me as I try to reply to everyone...

swan song..The bypass ring your talking about was passed down from my hubby's grandmother. They are RBs but they look like pears. It's a very pretty ring but I have to say that I am in AWE of your wife's ring!!!!

I've had different ideas of how to reset my RB but after seeing your posts and pics, I think I'm in love with your wife's ring the best. Just breathtaking!! I might just have to steal the idea if you don't mind?!?!

sevens one..Did hubby pick it out himself? Nope. We were at the jeweler's for something else and it caught my eye! Luckily Valentine's Day was around the corner and my jeweler said he give it to us for COST. Can't say no to that!

ame..Those darn Fed Ex guys steal everything!

reena..I love J.flo's baubles too!

carmel..trick or treating! LOL

lindsal..A) I think I have a great hubby! B)

C) I guess you won't want to hear that I plan on trading the pear, huh?!

K8..My ring size is a 6 1/2 on my left hand and a 7 on my right hand. The original engagement ring was traded in a long time ago. It was my MIL's and she encouraged me to "go bigger" with her blessing. It was a 1.01 RB (no lab report).

Kberly..Looks like I'm going to have a lot of trick or treaters! I better go get more candy! I'm thinking of those lollipop finger rings! LOL

Kamuelamom...Thank you. Sorry to hear that you're no longer at DT (I think?) but I've done ALOT of reading both here and there and I believe I remember your posts. I can tell you that I am in AWE over several pieces that I've seen here and everyone is so nice. I hope to stick around for a long while.

vtigger...What is your wife's e-mail addy? LOL Yes, it's true. Hubby and I are going on 19 years in January. I just turned 40 in July (blah!!!) but thanks for the compliments on my hands! (Using those Playtex gloves really does pay off

!)

Thanks again everyone!
