HOT Martini's!!!!!

[hawaiianorangetree]

After nearly 6 hours of phonecalls and emails to fedex on Friday I was finally able to pic up my babies!!! I have now had the first hand experience that is customs / fedex that so many of us Aussies have, but i was just happy in the end to get them before the weekend so all is good!

A big shout out to Denise and Lesley at BGD who were very helpful every step of the way and rushed out my order so i could get them on friday for a reunion I had on Saturday. Thank you again ladies.

So i purchased the first stone a few months ago and the specs are:

AGSO 0.615cts I SI1
5.47x5.50 - 3.37
T 55.2% D 61.5%
CA 34.8 PA 40.7

Then I waited it out patiently till denise found a match:

AGS0 0.608cts I SI1
5.42x5.46 - 3.35
T 54.8 D 61.7%
CA 34.3 PA 40.7

Once I gave the ok on the second stone I had to wait a couple of weeks for it to be called in so Brian could give it his stamp of approval and then have it sent to AGS for grading.

Once the stone came back it all happened very quickly and i am the proud new mumma to a pair of 1.223ctw martinis! Yay!!

So first for the vendor shots.. (did the same earring shot twice, sorry!)

My camera was blue and there was a lot of blue reflection so i put the flowers in front to see if i could get something different.

[Supers]

They look great - and you wear them well

 

[Natylad]

Beautiful studs and they make a great collection with your rings

 

[cachia85]

Stunning! And they look huge on your ears! Seeing your photos makes me think I am color insensitive, why the F and I look the same to me - so white!

 

[lknvrb4]

Very pretty!

 

[oranges]

[rosetta]

Nice nice! Everyone needs a gorgeous pair of studs right?

Congrats!

 

[MissGotRocks]

They look perfect on your ears! What a great pair you found - enjoy!

 

[yennyfire]

They're gorgeous! Congrats on the new addition to your "family"!

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

Thanks to Marquiseluv, DandiAndi, Frenchgirl, Supers, natyLad, lknvrb4, oranges, MissGotRocks and yennyfire!! Thank you thank you thank you

cachia85, i don't see the colour difference outside in the diffused light either! It is quite amazing. I guess that is the difference with ideal cuts. I can see it when i am inside and comparing them with my ering side by side. I don't notice it so much when they are in my ears though! Tricky little things they are

rosetta, oh you are so right about that! I feel like i have finally grown up!

I took this one this afternoon and now i am wanting a 3 stone when will this obsession end?...... Never!

 

[dani13]
