My 2.29 ct AVR...Take 1!!!!!

[AnnaH]

Wow! Looks perfect.

 

[Elysian]

Hi Diamondseeker! You've been helping me out in Rocky Talk... I almost didn't recognize you with your new gorgeous avatar! I had to take a double triple take on your pics, your new AVR is amazing!!! Everything I would want in an 'antique' stone! And it looks perfect on your hand.

 

[Matata]

Happy to hear that you decided to keep the diamond. Beautiful stone for a beautiful woman.

 

[Mayk]

DS so excited for you! It's amazing and looks fabulous on you!! The size is perfect! Yeah! Home Sweet Home

 

[MissGotRocks]

I'm so glad to hear that you made a decision and you're happy with your new stone! It looks beautiful on your hand - it's a great size. Not too big at all but big enough that you can appreciate the faceting and that's about perfect!

Enjoy your new ring - I know it has been a long journey but now that it's over, I suspect it was well worth it to you!

 

[alisonia333]

I love it! The stone is beautiful and the size is perfect to see the faceting, but definitely not over the top. Just gorgeous, congratulations!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Congrats! It's stunning. I love the chunky facets and the colors popping out. More pics please, especially profile pics.

Thank you! For some reason the only profile shots I took came out really blurry, so this one is the only one I have and really doesn't show the crown very well. I'll see if I can get some better ones.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

DS,

It's stunning, really stunning. Thank goodness you finally decided to keep THIS stone. I thought for a moment there I was going to have to jump on a plane and fly all the way to the US to do an emergency intervention explaining that honestly it looks amazing on you and you don't need to go any smaller.....

Enablers the lot of us!!!!

Hahaha! So glad I was able to save you the trip! Now we just need to help you find your dream ring! Thanks so much!

congrats DS ...From day first I knew this beauty wasn't going back to GOG...

Well, DF, your predictions came true! Have any good investment advice? Thanks!!!

Love, love, LOVE IT!! The way it picks up the surrounding colors is just beautiful ... I'd seriously just walk around staring at it in different environments all day long . The folks at GOG really do an amazing job don't they, and I think it's great that they get as excited as we do while we're going through the decision-making process. PLEASE post more pics of your new stone , it really is breathtaking DS !!!

Thank you, Roxy!!! Truly, they do do a great job at GOG and definitely share the excitement! I'll see if I can get anymore pics. I am back at home with no great scenery, so I will have to think creatively about how to take some different pics!

I think you know how I feel about this stone!!

I am SO glad that you have decided to keep it. It is breathtaking and looks amazing on your hand! It was an honor to see it (and try it on!) in Vegas!!

Yay DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Yenny!!! I guess we're a mutual admiration society, because I ADORE your rings, both of them!!! Thanks so much about the diamond, and I enjoyed our time together so much!!!

WOW, DS, its SO AWESOME!!! Congratulations and wear it in the best of health & happiness!!! You deserve it!

Awww, thanks, Dani!!! I am sure it is not deserved, but I surely am thankful to have such a great diamond!

Well done, DS on making what has been a tough decision to make. Am so glad that you are really happy with the choice.

Enjoy everything that the AVR brings to you (and others) as it no doubt will cause some jealousy amongst peers with the wonderful sparkle n fire that it shows!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Thanks so much for all your support, Greg! I am glad to have finally settled on a stone for sure! And I am very hopeful that your new ring will be fixed to your satisfaction very soon, too!

Your diamond takes my breath away! Absolutely stunning; congratulations!

You're so sweet, kathley! I think we have very similar taste in diamonds!!! Thanks so much!

It's perfect DS, absolutely perfect! Congrats!

Can't wait for more photos

Thanks, GemFever!!!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

It's beautiful but there are no profile shots!!!!!!!!!! More angles!!

So pretty so pretty so pretty! I love the size on your hand. And... I think the Vatche really suits it. A rock like that doesn't need a fancy setting.

Oh, I will have to do something about some crown and profile shots! I am happy with it in this setting and I am not going to just change for the sake of changing. It will ONLY be if I am in love with some setting, and right now, I don't feel that kind of certainty. I also don't want to overdo the antique settings since I have the Beaudry right hand rings. Thanks, distracts!!!

It's perfection DS! I'm so happy you two found each other!!

Thank you, rosetta, I do think it is the perfect one for me!

 

[ClassyRocks]

Awesome! I love it on you! Your pictures in the mountains are wonderful too. Thank you for sharing with us!

 

[bright ice]

So happy for you DS, it's a perfect diamond and suits you well. The photos are gorgeous. Enjoy!

 

[Enerchi]

INCREDIBLE!!! Its just amazing, DS!! I can't believe I did not clue in when I was admiring it in LV!! Geesh - I was so enthralled with the U113 setting, that I completely overlooked the diamond!! Duh - epic "FAIL", Enerchi! (hangs head in shame....)

Its just perfect on you!! As Billy Crystal would say - "MAH-velous, simply MAH-velous, dahling" Enjoy this perfect diamond for years and years to come!!! ( and heaven forbid DSS sets in !!)

 

[diamondseeker2006]

What a truly magnificent stone DS. You must be over the moon with joy. I know I would be staring at it all day if it was on my hand. I just the personality of this stone and the exquisite pastel colours it shows. Your photos are fabulous and I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in real life. And wow, great size too!

Oh, thank you so much, FM! I really am staring at it a lot at this point! I am glad I finally took the leap to a larger stone, too. I think it took the chunky facets to tempt me to do it!

It's beyond gorgeous!!!!! I just love this stone!!! It looks perfect on you!

I know you must be over the moon; I would be.

Cachette

Thank you so much, Cachette! I am excited to FINALLY find the right stone!

I am so glad you decided to keep this gorgeous stone...and more importantly that you are feeling comfortable wearing it! I can't wait to see how you decide to set it when and if you go the antique route.

Thank you, valmanin! I am getting great ideas from all of you who are ahead of me for settings, but I am having trouble choosing just one! As long as it takes me to choose a diamond, it takes me longer to decide on a setting! But you know what it's like, I am sure!

Wow! Looks perfect.

Thank you, Anna!!!

Hi, Elysian! I know it really confuses people when we change avatar pictures! It is my sincere hope that I can make myself never change this stone and never change the avatar again!!! Good luck to you in finding what you're looking for!

Happy to hear that you decided to keep the diamond. Beautiful stone for a beautiful woman.

Aww, thank you, Matata! I had such a great time with you in LV! And you have two magnificent rings, yourself! I especially love your AVC ring!

DS so excited for you! It's amazing and looks fabulous on you!! The size is perfect! Yeah! Home Sweet Home

Hey, Mary!!! Thank you SO much!!! Loved our time together as well and enjoyed seeing your gorgeous rings, too!

I'm so glad to hear that you made a decision and you're happy with your new stone! It looks beautiful on your hand - it's a great size. Not too big at all but big enough that you can appreciate the faceting and that's about perfect!

Enjoy your new ring - I know it has been a long journey but now that it's over, I suspect it was well worth it to you!

MGR, you have been one of the voices of reason for me many times! I FINALLY did it!!! Not sure why it took me so long, but I am content with the size and love the stone! Thanks so much!!!

I love it! The stone is beautiful and the size is perfect to see the faceting, but definitely not over the top. Just gorgeous, congratulations!

Thanks, alisonia!!! I do think you make a good point about it being a good size to enjoy the faceting but not so big that I couldn't wear it in my world. I struggled a long time to find that balance, but I think I finally figured it out!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Awesome! I love it on you! Your pictures in the mountains are wonderful too. Thank you for sharing with us!

Classy!!! Thank you so much!!!! I have appreciated your support and encouragement!

So happy for you DS, it's a perfect diamond and suits you well. The photos are gorgeous. Enjoy!

Bright ice, I so enjoyed meeting you and seeing your gorgeous, gorgeous rings! Thank you so much!

Enerchi, truly, there was SO much bling there, I'll bet we didn't see half of it! That means we have to get together again soon! Thank you so much for your kind words! And do NOT let me get DSS! I CAN'T!!! (I have thought of you and hope you get your issues resolved with one of your items! So nice meeting you!!!)
