Does this mean you are buying the paraiba then???
welll....... it could be that I bought it, yes
It will be continuing to live with Yvonne until I decide on a setting. I didn't want to keep it in my hotel room or pack it somewhere in my luggage for the return flight since I can't insure it for that - much better that it stays with her and if I decide on one of her settings that's easy and if I decide on a setting from someone else it can be shipped insured. I theoretically have a few days as a return period but unless I magically find something of this size/quality or better at a better price, that won't be happening... the stone alone is more than what I spent on any other single piece in my collection though - including my engagement ring - so I am kind of stressing about it and when I first posted I was a bit in shock that I actually bought it and couldn't handle saying so straight out, lol.
But the way I thought of it was this - if I pass on this paraiba that has a color I LOVE at a great size, even if it is included, and then I never find one I can afford again, I would be kicking myself tremendously. Forever. Every time I saw another I'd probably be bitter. BUT if I buy this paraiba and within the next couple of weeks to years find one that is better at a better price, I will probably just shrug and say "c'est la vie, I made the decision that seemed good at the time and I have a thing I like."
