I get it because my original ER is now a pendant. But it was 1993 uncertified and not anywhere near heats and arrows and probably a 60/60. Since it was .75 I kept it and started over with the .64 I CBI.
Well, I started over with a .37k which I quickly traded back in next day for a .56G. I always forget about that little one because once I saw a CBI I was like “bigger and whiter please lol. I bought another one around that size (I’m on painkillers— getting 2 new knees on 12/16 so my brain is not sharp) and they are now side stones in my sapphire and CBI 3 stone ring.
Thank you.
So I hate to “be a pricescopper” but lol
I’m sitting on it for 24 hours because I’m starting to come around to the idea that I might want to see what they have in 2 months when all that new inventory is listed. I might be able to get in the 1.3s / over 7 mm club. That would be fun.
Plus I’m on pain meds and Benadryl (the pain meds make me itchy) so my thinking isn’t clear right now.
I think I would be much happier if I could get into an even larger size.
I’ll keep you all posted; I may have jumped the gun here. Lol. Bigger is better, right?
For me yes, If you lay the stones side by side in front of me.
Yes, definitely! Sadly, my current funds are tied up into my current car and my next car. My lease is up soon and I have to pay a disposition fee among other things just to return it plus down payment for my new car. Ouch. So I need those couple of months as a cushion to start saving again since my upgrade will be from scratch.
Thank you.

After wasting a lot of money on settings that were beautiful but not really my style, I've finally found "my" setting -- who knew it would be the Sholdt half-bezel. Unfortunately, that means I'll need to get a new Sholdt when I upgrade my stone. So I'm being much more thoughtful about where I want to end up size-wise and color-wise. I agree that with CBIs, clarity is a non-issue. I do think you will see a difference between your current stone and a 1.30 (7 mm) stone. My last upgrade was from 6.50 to 7 mm and I could clearly see the difference. I am an incremental upgrader as well. Sure, it costs more to upgrade more frequently and in smaller increments. I'm just more comfortable with making smaller jumps in size, especially because in "real life," my current diamond is larger than most of my colleagues', friends', and family members' stones. Because of the cut, people perceive it as larger than it is as well. I'm also a bit color sensitive so I need to balance color/size. I do need to clear out my jewelry box over the holidays -- more for my mental health than anything else (it makes me anxious to own so much stuff that no one in my family will want or know what to do with when I'm gone). After that's done, it's off to the upgrade races Best of luck with your knee surgery -- you'll deserve a bling reward after that!
@whitewave - If you can hang on until Spring, my 1.30 F SI1 may be available...I was just emailing Wink about a Spring upgrade
