Glad you didn't think the pics of my grandma were too much Sandycheeks-lol-I went a bit overboard there!

Yenny, don't you dare trade in your ring- your ring is so gorgeous-truly TDF!!! One of a kind masterpiece!! So you better not even think about it lol! But, if one day, you want to add to your collection, well, you have my biggest blessing!!!! I would love to help you in your search when that day comes-just give me a call!!

DiamondSeeker, you would rock a 2 carat AVR!!!! Looking forward to the day!!!

Kasey, pullleaaase, start a thread with your gorgeous beauty!! Please!!!!!

Awww, thank you goldfish! That is so lovely of you to say! About the MRB trade in-it was painless. I didn't expect to get near what we paid for the diamond since we didn't buy it from Adam but I felt that since what he gave me towards the trade in allowed me to get the ring of my dreams it was fair. If someone else would consider it fair I cannot say but what I can say is you have nothing to lose to ask him about it. He's a sweetheart, he really is. He made the process painless and fwiw I trust him.

Thank you so much Dreamer! That makes me happy that you think the faceting is perfect-I do too but you're the old cut expert and I appreciate your thoughts!!

 

[GoldFish8]

WAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! she is sooo beautiful!!... I know I posted before but...seriously your ring makes me want to cry! I am not quite sure why...but seriously that OEC really pulls on my heartstrings...then it makes me SMILE!

nope I dont think you overdid it at all!!! When you get a chance can you pose MORE PICTURES! in particular can we get a real life perspective one...


whhhy is she soooo beautfiul...WHHYYYYYY!? ( ok... step away from the computer ... do not think about beautiful BEA...lol )

 

[Enerchi]

just heavenly to see all those pics, Missy!! That is a gorgeous diamond and it has such beautiful facets and fires off the most incredible colours!! I'm loving your photo shoot!!

Enjoy Bea - she is a beauty and sounds as 'giving' with her sparkel as your grandmother was with hers!! I'm also someone who misses her grandmother soooo much. Mine was like yours - loved her 2 granddaughters so much, she made you always feel surrounded in warmth and joy.

 

[TaterTots]

HOT! HOT! HOT! This ring is really stunning. The facets are really mesmerizing.

 

[m-2-b]

Now I know what a large stone would look on a size 6 finger thanks to Bea! BTW, can you take a shot of a wedding band next to it also?! Thanks!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Love the new pictures, Missy! This reminds me of my dear grandmother, too! That setting is just the perfect style for that diamond. But I have probably already said that! Oh, and you have such pretty hands! I should have gotten my rings straightened out when I had younger hands!!!

 

[rosetta]

I feel hypnotised by the facets.......

 

[Rosebloom]

Wow. I am in love. The setting is so perfect and the diamond - no words! Personally I'd love another dozen pictures!

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Congratulations! That's quite a beauty!!

Thank you Enerchi for sharing that. Grandma's are special people, that's for sure. I miss her everyday and she died 21 years ago this coming March. Ofc, I have all the wonderful memories keeping her alive-and I know you do too. (((hugs))) to you.

Thank you so much DS-since I developed arthritis I never think of my hands as pretty but I appreciate your lovely compliment. And hugs to you too for your dear grandmother!

I feel hypnotised by the facets.......

Thanks Rosetta! They are pretty darn hypnotizing!

Thank you tatertots and madame bijoux!

Wow. I am in love. The setting is so perfect and the diamond - no words! Personally I'd love another dozen pictures!

Your wish is my command Rosebloom...it's the least I can do!

And also this is for you mom2boys. I tried some RL perspective and some with the WB. My WB doesn't work with this ring so I need another but I wanted to oblige your request.

First up, dh when he got home from work today. Poor man is sick with a bad cold but I got some shots of him holding the ring to help with perspective. And also because he got me the ring so wanted to get him in this thread haha.

 

[missy]

Next up some in a moving car on the way to Costco...
Don't worry, I'm not driving! And, next up, some great shots at Costco...awesome lighting there. I'll take pics anywhere for you guys lol.

 

[missy]

Still in moving car...darn, where are all the red lights when you need them lol.

 

[yssie]

I love threads like this. 4pages of deliciousness, tons and tons of pics do drool over

missy, it's spectacular!!!! But it's not like you need us to tell you that I feel special for having caught the sneak peek in RT but I gotta say the perspective shots on this page really put it in - well, perspective! That is a seriously Big Beautiful Boulder the faceting is lovely, and the setting is gorgeous!


The pics of your DH holding it are cute

 

[missy]

OK, next pic is last one in car and then some of Bea visiting Costco. Her very first trip!

Thank you Yssie!! He's sick and didn't want to be in the pics but he's a sweetie!

 

[Rosebloom]

Fantastic!!!

And your DH is absolutely adorable!

 

[missy]

There's something about Costco I gotta tell you. Bea is loving it!

Aww, thanks Rosebloom! I hope you know I'm posting these extra ones for you! Are you tired of them yet? I think I'm posting the most pics ever in one thread lol.

 

[missy]

I wonder if the people around me think I'm nuts taking pics of my ring with my phone at Costco haha. But I'll do anything for my fellow PSers! And last pic is in car ride home.

 

[Enerchi]

oh man, we can not get enough of beautiful BEA!!!! I love all your pics - the lighting in costco is amazing for diamonds, isn't it!!! and your DH is awesome!! What great pics of him holding your ring - quite the dapper dude!!
(you're not to shabby either, FYI!)

 

[yssie]

Ohh this is THE shot

 

[missy]

And finally, last picture when we got home in my dh's man room. You can see how rugged it is in there.

Awww, Enerchi, thank you for all your enabling! It means a lot to me!
And thanks for the compliment even with me looking sorta crappy sans makeup! I tried to cover my whole face but some of it got through darn it. I'm so not ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille!!!

Thanks Yssie! I was hoping in the midst of the billion I was posting one might be PS worthy! That was my plan anyway!

 

[Rosebloom]

Not tired at all - would happily drool over more! Gorgeous!

 

[Enerchi]

Missy, I hope when I get to NYC in April, you and I can meet and you'll bring Bea along --- and maybe a certain Canadian PSer may be lucky enough to try and wedge that beauty onto her chubby hands!!! My little OEC will seem so tiny next to Bea!!

so---"play date"??? Some time between April 14 - 18 - mark it on your calendar and we shall fine tune as we get closer!!!

 

[missy]

oops, almost forgot the shots for mom2boys! Here they are. The band doesn't look right with the ER. I wore it on my left hand today and the ER on my right hand but I need an antique wedding band that I can wear with my ER stat!!

Thanks again Rosebloom!

Absolutely Enerchi!! Date it is! And don't worry, I'll let you play with Bea if you let me play with your gorgeous jewels!!

 

[junebug17]

Gorgeous new pics!! I love the real life perspective shots - it's awesome when a stone looks big from a distance!

Oh, and your dh is really cute btw!

 

[MrsM]

Love and appreciate all the photos for use to drool over. That is one beautiful OEC! Enjoy... so cute that you husband wanted to get in the thread .

 

[Enerchi]

Tell me how you really feel Missy! I don't think I could ever sell my oval. I just love it too much. However, given our financial goals, I'll be about 60 before we *might* have the discretionary income to spend $50-60K on a stone....so, it's not likely to happen. And, while I love drooling over all of the stunning honkers around here, I just wouldn't be comfortable wearing one in my social circle....so no worries...the oval will definitely become a family heirloom....

I really wanna play with Bea though!!

 

[m-2-b]

Thanks for indulging me with all of the pics galore!!! I can't wait to see what wedding band you decide to wear with it, if at all!

Congrats again to you, Bliss and Sarahbear on "Jewels of the Week!" I hope to join you ladies in the 4+ct club one of these days!
