Freke''s NEW blue e-bling!

[FrekeChild]

Ok, ok! Since I teased a few of you with that blurry pic...

First of all a disclaimer: I totally suck at taking pictures today. Seriously. I took a bajillion more, and they came out horribly. Blurry, out of focus (although sometimes THAT was on purpose) and generally NOT GOOD.

So as a result there will be more pictures in coming days (probably after next week. I hate finals!).

Engagement story thread

SMTR thread--where I finally came out and said I didn''t like the setting.... Around page 5 is where I figured it out.

The inspiration pics/vendor pics of stones and my awful photoshopping job.

My wax thread

The 22 page stone search thread

Pictures of my pink ering and the cast that was made of my ring...in two pieces.

It has been a long LONG process. September to May!

And now for pics...

My picture from the "Big Blue Debuts" thread. I am one naughty monkey.

Dogs are attacking, so this may take longer than normal.

Now I''d ordinarily post a picture of a box, but apparently some people don''t like that...

Side profiles of both--showing the main reason for the reset--that almost 4mm shank--the new one is about 2mm (I haven''t measured yet).
