I was passing WF''s office yesterday and thought about you guys. Sounds like you had a great time here.
Where did you guys go for fun?

All these gorgeous RB''s are seriously making me rethink a fancy cut.

More pic''s, hurry!

 

[orangevixen]

CONGRATS Mara! it''s absolutely stunning. you''ll have to plan a bay area gtg so you can show it off when you get back home

Seeing all of that PS bling on one finger made my heart skip a beat. WOW

 

[Sundial]

How fun for you guys!!! Mara your new diamond just took my breath away! And I love that shot of all the rings on Appletini''s finger. What a beautiful bunch of bling!

[Kaleigh]

Mara your ring is amazing, love it!! Thanks for the shot of everyone''s rings on Apple''s finger. Glad you all had fun. Now come home and post tons of pics!!!

 

[MissAva]

Now that is a finger full of bling!

 

[allycat0303]

I made my boyfriend drive me home Saturday afternoon just to see if there were pictures from the Houston get together.

Appletini: That''s a money shot on your finger if I''ve ever seen one. Were you tempted to just make a run for it??? I would have

Mara: Your ring looks incredible. There had better be at least 30-40 pics posted ASAP when you get back. We''ve been starving for the bling.

 

[tracys126]

Fun fun fun! Can''t wait for more pictures!

 

[sanfranciscoellen]

Yowza! What fun.

Can''t wait for the bay area get together. Between Mara and Kristydarling''s new bling, we''d better bring bibs for the drool.

Mara checking in here!! It cracked me up when I saw the title of this post and all the hungry PS gals ready for some eye-candy. I thought of you guys numerous times this trip!!

Anyway, we head back tomorrow afternoon after a fabulous brunch at a supposedly amazing place in Houston. The time here has been awesome, it''s so great to see everyone again and see the new facilities at WF and the new baubles in the vault...especially that big ole 5c. Trust me that is sooo a future upgrade!!!

So, it''s late and I just wanted to post two pictures for you gals til we get home and can post a BARRAGE of photos because we took probably about 500 or so between us two. Insane I know. We love it!!


Here is a shot that WF''s photo guy (who is AWESOME by the way!) Mark got with my own Canon after I was having problems focusing in on the rings. I love this shot!! This is my new 2.32 J SI1 in my setting!

To quote you when you first saw my upgrade: Holyeverlovin CRAP! That thing is aboslutely gorgeous and huge and magnificent. Congrats! I can''t wait for MORE pics!!!!!

 

[LizzieC]

That pic turned out great! Imagine how crazy we must have looked to everyone else in the restaurant! Taking picture after picture of our jewelry and trying to figure out how to best light the bling! But it was worth it!

Pics do not do Mara''s ring justice (or anyone else''s for that matter). That sucker is a monster! A beautiful, sparkling, monster!

It was great meeting Mara and AlJ, seeing Appletini and Strawdermangrl again, and meeting the crew from WF! Playing with diamonds is SO much fun!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Awww, I LOVE the pics you guys!!! I was so sad that I missed the stuff yesterday...I''m FINALLY feeling like a normal person today after being sick (with 100-102 fever EVERY DAY) since Monday night! Yes, a whole entire week....I was starting to go stir crazy after being on my couch for that long!

Mara, the new stone is HEAVENLY! I can''t wait to see all your handshots once you get home!

Anyway, I''m so glad you guys had fun!! Mara and AlJ: I''ll just have to see you guys next time when Mara comes down to get that 5 ct.

 

[divergrrl]

Oh what a fabulous field trip!!! Oh Mara, your ring is delicioso!! More more more!!!

And I want to be Apple''s finger.....or I want all the rings on Apples finger...either works just fine!

 

[Mara]

Hi ladies! Well my flight home is delayed two hours

and Alj just went off to catch her own flight, so I managed to wrangle some internet access through the airport wifi and read up on PS in the meantime. I also figured I'd tease you all with another picture...this is of my rings on my finger with the new stone...and can I just say that I finally feel like I have a REALLY BIG STONE??? It looks huge on my hand and the light return and fire in this thing is just awesome. I was kind of sentimental about letting the 'original J' go but after I saw this stone it was like OJ what? The new head is great, I adore it...they did a great job working with what my existing setting would allow. I have caught numerous people checking out my new bling which is kind of cool...hee hee. Anyway I will see if I can upload more pictures to my laptop while I am sitting here but my camera died earlier today so not sure if it will be accommodating. If not, you girls will get alot more eye-candy tomorrow.

 

[FireGoddess]

Beautiful - and it IS a honkin huge stone so you should feel like it''s ''big''. LOL. Never thought I''d see you go to six prongs though...hehehe. They are pretty dainty though, which I really like. Just boo-ti-ful!!

 

[Mara]

FG, I am still getting used to the 6 prongs and the different look of the head but it looks great with the stone and it definitely feels more secure. I think I would do 4 prongs again if I was doing something like a basket setting or similar but with a head like this I figured 6 prongs would feel safer and also give me that beautiful scoopy buttercup look. Worked out on all counts!

and LOL re: apple having all the rings on the hand...she had a look on her face like ''Should I make a break for it?''....hehehe. But she''s way too sweet to make us all chase her down in the parking lot.
