Dreamer''s upgrade is on the way!

[Dreamer_D]

I will get it on Tuesday

Introducing my new 1.17ct K SI1 ACA from Whiteflash! Hard to tell from these pics but it looks really big to me!

 

[Dreamer_D]

This was my previous ring, .80ct J VS2

 

[Dreamer_D]

I sized them the same and created a side-by-side comparison. Granted, this isn''t the most accurate comparison

but I had hoped my new stone would *look* a lot bigger then my old, and they look pretty similar in these pics...

 

[onvacation]

Hmm, it looks pretty big to me! I had to rub my tired eyes to make sure it was 1.17ct, because from the pics I thought it was 1.71ct, before I scrolled down to read the rest.

I looove the clean look. I''m sure you''ll notice the size difference once it is on your hand!

 

[Cind11]

I think your new stone definitely looks bigger! Good choice!

 

[Imdanny]

I know you from the thread Harriet started about me! I thought you looked familiar. Congrats on the upgrade! I lurve K. Lucky to be you!

 

[blingmyring]

There''s a HUGE difference

Can''t wait to see hand shots - Congratulations !

 

[dani13]

Thanks! I think you are right, it looks bigger!

I suspect that it looked so much larger to you in the first shot because the band is so slim on the legato sleek line. It really does make diamonds POP!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Thanks Cind, SDL, Imdanny,Blingmyring, Dani and Feb! I am excited too!

 

[geckodani]

I can definitely tell the size difference!!! Just wait until you get that beauty on your hand!!!

 

[tyty333]

I think you will be significantly happier with your new stone...not just the size but the quality is so much better!
Congrats!

 

[gemgirl]

A .37 pt difference will be noticable. I think you''re going to love it. Hey, next stop.......... a carat and a half! LOL!

Tuesday..... road trip! Take your ID, your passport, bottles and binkies and go baby go! You''re going to have enough adrenaline running through your body to light a small town

but it''s such a good feeling!

tee hee tyty... you are a true PSer now! The "quality" of the cut is indeed better, but I went down in *both* color and clarity! I think most people would think I was loopy

I must admit I am a little nervous about the color. Although I am not typically one to care what others think, it would still be a little embarassing if people could see too much tint and thought my diamond was the evil **yellow**... I''m sure it won''t look much different than my J, which was plenty white in the vast majority of situations, but I still worry a little.

Its funny, I like the warmth of the lower colored stones, but it is still hard not to think about how it will be seen by the public who don''t appreciate those colors generally.

I know it should be totally noticable right?

Yup, road trip tomorrow! In my case it will be "ID, passport, b**bies and binkies and go baby go!" LOL! I am super excited. My MIL is actually coming with me, she volunteered. Any chance to see her first grandchild and she is all over it!

 

[Ellen]

Look at the bottom pics of the comparison shot, you can really tell the difference there.

Looks just loverly Miss dd!

Oh gosh, I think its significantly larger looking. What a beautiful ring

Ditto. it looks fantastic

 

[JSM]

Gorgeous ring! The stone looks just beautiful, and definitely bigger!

 

[motownmama]

OH it''s bigger alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can''t wait!!

 

[steph72276]

I think it will be much bigger. Is it in the same setting? Did they have to make a new head? That is one of my favorite settings ever! Can''t wait to see handshots!

 

[swimmer]

DD, it looks huge, and you know how any absence/vacation from a stone makes it appear larger, this is a real change.

So...did you do anything with your original ER sapphire? Yes, I am still attached to your old old ER

hugs!

 

[Lorelei]

I think you will be pleased with the size difference and the K colour won''t be evil yellow LOL! No worries!!

 

[MMT]

Definitely looks bigger! I will be on the watch for handshots

 

[soocool]

Looks absolutely gorgeous!

I needed this to make me smile today.

Maybe when mine finally comes it will make me feel better.

 

[Burk]

So exciting! I think it looks considerably larger! Can''t wait to see hand shots to confirm!

 

[tigian]

I can definitely see that the new stone is a lot bigger. Can''t wait to see it on your hand. So exciting!

 

[Dreamer_D]

Thanks Dani, tyty,ellen, D&T, jsm, motownmama, & MMT! I can''t wait to get it tomorrow!

They were able to use the same setting by changing out the head to accommodate the larger diamond. The diamond went from a diameter of 6.06 to a diameter of 6.78 so they needed to remake the whole basket. It only cost $125 so much better than getting a new setting! This will be the last upgrade in this setting though

Any larger and I will have to get a new one altogether!

I am attached to it too! The three stone was actually an upgrade from my original e-ring anyway. So my sapphire has gone back into my original engagement ring setting, which is a WG split shank. It is being sized now so I will post some pictures when I get it back!
