Insomniac Wins Brian Gavin Pendant

OK, so the last couple of days have also been really difficult, as family dynamics - not all of them healthy - continue to roll despite the situation, so that sometimes compounds things. This has been a difficult visit, as indeed all six of my trips and visits with my parents have been since the re-diagnosis 12 months ago. I guess that's what happens with serious illness. They go home on Monday and although I'll miss my mum terribly, part of me is also looking forward to getting back to normal. It's pretty intense when they're here, quite a lot of work looking after them, since they're both in their seventies and they do tend to cling to me when they come, requiring a lot of laundry/cooking/accompanying out placed and general handholding.

But through the ups and downs of the trip, I've been able to remember my fantastic BGD purchase! Yay!!
 
Aww, hugs Smith.

Good job on the pendant purchase! I hope it will bring you lots of happiness.
 
Smith - I'm very sorry to hear about your mum and the not-so-sweet parts of your visit home.

But - :appl: on your necklace purchase and on getting to use one of the big coupons. Well done!

Congrats! Nice choice! I looked at that stone last weeks when I was picking out earrings. I went with a pair of F-SI2's that are about a point smaller, but that stone sure had me looking.

I just gave into temptation and got 7% off this stone. http://www.briangavindiamonds.com/diamonds/diamond-details/0.518-h-si2-round-diamond-ags-c-104067360003 BTW, I'm going to blame you! :naughty: :naughty: :lol: As for insomnia, it's 2AM, and I just got off the chat with Jamie, she looked at a couple of the stones for me. I need to ZZZZzzzzZZzzZzZzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Haaaa! ROFL! Sorry, Andelain! :lol:

You know, if you felt terribly guilty, you could always give your pendant to me! :D The stone looks really beautiful, and so nice and large, you badass! If I remember from your thread, you're in the sandbox? Is BGD going to ship it to you there? ETA: Which style of pendant did you get?

I read your other thread, and although I commented there, just want to say again how much I feel for you, with everything you've gone through. Glad to see you doing something joyfully naughty like buying diamonds! Do stay safe. Thank you for the fine service, ma'am!

Sorry, my eye! I know better! :lol: :lol: :lol: BTW, when I bought this, I was pulling an Andelain. I already had a pair of earrings on order. :lol: :lol:

Yes, they're shipping it all here, just like they and Whiteflash have before. I'm in Afghanistan, and thank you for the kind words and good thoughts. I picked out the basic 4-prong pendant in YG. The stone is a near perfect match to another I bought loose, that was done intentionally. That way if I don't wear the pendant I can have more options for re-purposing the stone. Plus, with the discount the pendant itself was free. I just paid for the stone at 7% off. Kind of hard to beat that.

I'm just glad WF didn't also put up some kind of Black Friday deal. :lol: :lol: :rodent:

Here's a sneak peek at the inbound earrings...

Congrats on the great deals, Smith and Andelain! :appl:

(Andelain, we have missed you and are glad to see you back in action!)
 
Congratulations. The pendant sounds lovely.

I am very sorry to hear about your mom. Hugs to you.

Thanks Marcy. xxx
 
OK, I am waiting NOT so patiently!!

Pendant, Pendant, where art thou? Wherefore stayest thou in Houston, when I pine for thee in Boston? I will care not if thee are damaged in the shipping, grow old, or get chipp't. Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. Especially because thou savest me from yon wicked Tiffany prices. :lol:
 
Ah but parting is such sweet sorrow Smith and think on this - oh gorgeous SI2 diamond that lookest so clean to the naked eye (and magnification nay by one but by full ten fold) will maketh for no Lady Macbeth "out, out, out damned spot", moment.
 
Yes, Polished, that's true! I've got a image in my mind now of people desperately trying to wash their diamonds clean of the offending spots in non-eyeclean diamonds, a la Lady MacBeth and the blood on her hands!
 
Brian Gavin just called! My pendant is shipping tomorrow, a week early! Am so excited - yayyy! It'll be here Thursday but I should have glamour shots before then! :appl:
