Funny you mention that..! When I see her, I almost always ask to try it on. I took pictures for all of you lovely ladies before, but they got deleted. So yesterday when I took MORE pictures she just laughed and said she had never met someone that loved jewels as much as I did! Then we chatted about why we like diamonds and the importance of keeping them clean. Her motto is, "If I have them, they are meant to be used!" so I told her that''s fine, but you might as well keep it sparkly and clean if you are going to do everything in them!

WOW! You are one lucky girl! Just wondering (and hoping I am not rude) but what age range is gma? It seems from her ring she is young? Congratulations on having such a WONDERFUL woman in your life!

That''s not rude She is 75.. but with her attitude and personality she seems much younger. I hope she is around to see her great grandkids in a few years (ya know, when I have some kiddies) She claims she is only going to live a few more years. She is the most stubborn woman I have ever met in my entire life. The older I get, I see we are so much a like personality wise (my mom and dad agree

) There are also times that I''m like

''OMG did she just say that?'' haha..

Okee dokee. I got some specs! I only got to glance at it for a moment, so I wrote down the stuff I knew.
I barely believe this because, like I said, it is WHITE WHITE.

Main stone: 3.18ct

Color: I
Clarity SI1

Side stones: 1.46ctw
Color: G
Clarity: SI1

For a total of 4.64! I thought it was around 5, but I think I would refer to it as a 4.5cttw just because its closer.

Oh, and it weighs 7.9 grams

I am AMAZED. I am not terribly color sensitive, but I absolutely cannot imagine what a D would look like if these stones are I. I mean WOW. You really need to see it for yourself to get what I''m saying. Also, si1?? I AM clarity sensitive (ever since a bad diamond purchase and finding pricescope) so I inspected that thing like crazy. I couldn''t find a flaw! There is no black carbon, or feathers, or clouds.. this diamond is clear as day. Perhaps I need to look at it longer?

LOL

I''m so glad you got the specs! It''s rare to find pics of someone who is an 8!!!

This ring is just fabulous, and I can''t wait to see the CLEAN pics! LOL!

I think I might need a 3 carat RB now!
