Irony of never wanting to change (new stone)

[allycat0303]

Mat! That would be really great if you could manage. Since I''m probably going to be looking for a new stone, I might want to consider a J. I really loved my H color, but have never seen a J in person. Maybe the best thing for me to do is to have one shipped to me and take a look, but you seem pleased with it.

Keep us updated. It sure looks beautiful to me!

I know what you mean Miss Belle, it is so exciting!!! What a beauty!

i could cry i am so happy for you!!! i am soooo happy you & V are loving this stone!!

it looks like a firecracker!!

we are nearly diamond twins!!

Oh we are diamond twins!!!!

How exciting!

Now where can I get super cute delicate fingers?

 

[Sundial]

This is so thrilling! That diamond looks absolutely amazing and it''s HUGE!!! Maybe you should take a shot of the diamond with the adorable Miss Ava.

 

[jcrow]

i guess that''s why i am uber exited for you- cause i love my ACA 2.13 J- and now you have one to love (although a bit bigger and cleaner perhaps) too!!

yea!! it''s one heck of a happy friday for you too!

 

[MissAva]

Belle- I am smiling at an inanimate object…isn’t that silly? Really I am just amazed at the way it sparkles so much like my stone, that is so comforting and makes me like it even more.

Allycat- I know how ya feel! I really adored my I and this J is really lovely! I am now a member of the J’s fan club! As soon as the sun come out I will be there with camera in hand.

Lorelei-Thank you!

Sundial- I am on it!

Jcrow- I love your ring! It is classic and lovely and your stone is an EYE POPPER!

And my Friday just got a bit better because I found out I have got a job!!! Yea! I will be employed and working full time immediately after graduation! Yippee!

I cannot tell the difference in size from my stone but that could be because this one is loose and they are not near each other.

i think once it''s set you will notice the difference. when i went to WF i had 2 cts. lined all in a row along with the 2.13. the 2.13 looked miles bigger than all of the others. and that kickin'' 2.162 is bigger than that!

 

[jcrow]

ok- now i could really cry happy tears for you Mattie!!

a Fabulously Gorgeous Diamond AND a JOB??? big kudos to you!!!

 

[KristyDarling]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! It is so gorgeous, those H&As are sheer perfection. And sooooooo WHITE!

Congratulations on your job, too! What a wonderful Friday this has become!!

 

[dani13]

WOW, that stone is a beauty, Mat! I hope everything works out for you!
Congrats on the job too!

 

[Lorelei]

Your cup runneth over AND a job!!!!!!!!!!!! What a great day!

 

[MissAva]

In protest of being ignored Ava is giving me dirty looks...I am interrupting her mid-morning nap.

 

[Mara]

Thank you!

The finger thing is a tricky question, today it appears to be a size six.
Sometime it can be a 5 3/4 or 7/8...in the winter it is a 5.5. I have broken my fingers a few times so my knuckles are kind of odd. Lord I am rambling on again. Sorry!

I think she definitely prefers to wear it as a tiara!

Oh Thanks you I am feeling soo blessed right now! I am going to be all sunny and goofy for the rest of the day!

 

[allycat0303]

I love it on Ava. So is it official? Is it a keeper or do you have to wait for your honey''s approval? On top of Ava''s head, it looks quite white next to her stripe

He he, I think it was official on Wednesday when I sent Whiteflash the check.

(For more on that read my long post on page 7).

Really Whiteflash has been top notch and I cannot wait to get this thing set and back on my finger!

 

[Sundial]

Love those Ava pics!!! She is such a cutie and obviously has a lot of personality. She wants her own big, beautiful diamond!

 

[Jelly]

YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I''m glad you love it. It is definitely a beauty!!!! Aren''t those ACA''s just amazing?!

Now onto the setting.....

(i had to check PS at work just to see the pics and your reaction to this new stone)

 

[fire&ice]

OMG - how did I miss this? I guess I thought it was another pie thread.

How terrible & then how great! That new stone looks HUGE & really firey! Pardon if this has already been asked - will you use your original setting?

 

[february2003bride]

It''s HUGE!!!

Is it going in your current setting or are you getting a new one? If you are, what kind?

Congratulations!!

 

[Mara]

PIE...

 

[sunkist]

Oh Mata! This stone is lovely!!! I hope you love it

Can''t wait to see sun pictures

 

[MissAva]

Sundial- she is something...

Jelly- I do love it! ACA’s are just WOW! The setting….well ya. Working on that even as I type.

F&I- It is such a bummer to have had the first stone get hurt. But I am really happy with this stone, I never wanted to upgrade but I really like this one and I think it was worth it.

Feb2003- I will not be reusing the original setting because I am superstitious and it spent more time away from my then with me. I want to be able to wear my ring all day every day, so I am going to get something that will allow me to do just that!

Mara- Thank you!

Sunkist- I am getting to adore it, we will work on love. I think that will happen after it has been set and seems more “real”.

Oh and these are the pictures taken outside so far, they were taken on the inside of a WF necklace box, so the background is white leather. Hopefully the sun will be out soon so I can take some decent shots. I am posting the ones which show the most warmth...for some reason I keep thinking of marshmellows...
