So. Since being on a certain diamond site (not naming names) but I became OBSESSED with checking out diamonds. Settings. Diamonds AND settings. Gemstones, Settings. More diamonds. (And emailed all cool things to the BF) I think had I not found said website, I would be a little less educated on diamonds (ok, A LOT LESS EDUCATED) but I would maybe feel more sane.

So I totally did something crazy!

A few days ago I told the BF that I was going to release creative control (haha as I call it) and also not talk about rings for 2 months. He LAUGHED and said, "Honey, try for 2 weeks, something that might actually happen!" So far it''s been hmmmm a few days and it only came up once and I called it a MMMHMMM-Ring

The craziest part is that our AGREED timeline is only 53 days away. Woowee the last 4 months have flown by with me looking at everyones gorgeous bling on here! I am also going to stop bringing that "date" up. I told him I''m done. I''m not mentioning diamonds, I''m not emailing him diamonds, and I''m not telling him about settings I prefer. He knows by now. He actually knows everything by heart. I do know that I''m not getting the size I would ideally want for a diamond, but honestly, that is the least of my worries now. Being on here has helped me see that. (Not to mention in so many years I am inheiriting a 3 stone 5+ carat ring

which I took some pictures of for you lovely ladies.. but forgot to post!)

Anyways, I am super excited and might have to not post as much for a while so I can keep my head somewhere else. Like in a book

That''s my update! Oh, I also was an ass last night and ruined a surprise. I found this tanzanite ring that was on sale, and beautiful! I asked him for it (he actually promised me something Tiffany) and he said he''d think about it. Well, I asked him again and again, because it was such a good deal, i''d buy it myself if I had to! Turns out he was going to surprise me with it. I hate surprises. Drive me nuts

and I ruin them. Soooo yeah.

I told you these were bad! Here is the second pic. I believe the center is a 3+ and the two sides are (by my guess) .75 - under a carat. I don't know the exact numbers, but I did secretly look at the insurance coverage on the jewelry (in the system) and it was over 5 carats total and around $60k. (can you tell how excited I am?) I am a size 7, and need a tan in these pictures!

Holy cow!!! That''s a monster!! Congrats on your countdown being almost finished, yay!!
 
From what I can see that's quite a lovely ring you will be getting!

Congrats on reaching the final month and a half of your wait!
 
Thank you. It''s my grandmas.. we both love diamonds and jewels and pretty things ;) She lets me try it on all of the time and I just about drool! Is it bad that I have thought whenever I do get my diamond I''m thinking of setting it as a pendant??

WOW, now that''s a diamond ring!!! It is so beautiful as a ring, I don''t think I personally could make it into a pendant - but I am not a huge necklace person, so...
 
Oh, lol, I mean the smaller one I''ll be getting from BF! I had never thought about halos either until I found this place :D

I feel like a whiney brat today.

Oh I know what you mean! My blackberry is filled with things on HIS to do list... I put them on mine to remind him. Actually, 2 of the 4 active/ in progress ones right now are for him.
