My E Ring arrived!! I want to share with all the PSers who were kind enough to give me helpful advice, Im so so grateful to you all, you really kept me on the right path with excellent advice..so stats first, then photo's , sorry I got totally carried away trying out the 'How to take good foto's' thread and messing around with the macro function...this website and bling is really addictive...
GOG AVC 0.97 VS2 M AGS Triple Ideal, 5.99 X 5.85
So I set out falling in love with the AVC's but being on quite a tight budget all we could afford is a warm colour, no bigger than carat, so I got an M VS2 AGS Triple Ideal AVC from GOG (Who are absolutely fantastic)..I melted my head for literally months as to how to set it, white metal, yellow metal, to halo or not..someone advised me to halo it under a carat and Im so glad I did as Im afraid Im finding one carat quite small!
I was scared of the 'halo; so went for the Tacori bloom as a compromise. then the wait began and I really began to worry on the M colour, would I just have a yellow stone? I must have read every single PS post on M stones and watched every single video I could find, most of them assured me and I began to really love those warm colours..
So after a prong re-work to make them shorter, I waited another 2 weeks ( 6 in total) and finally she is here!! First impressions, I really am blown away by the stone but Im afraid Im rather under-whelmed with the Tacori 2620 setting, I took the risk of buying without seeing IRL, as I live in Ireland and had no plans to go to London, well wish I had as to Be honest Im just finding the halo far too small and delicate..
I wiill live with it for few days but really think Im going to keep the stone and sell the setting if I can...but as for the colour Im really loving my M - It really is a chamelon just as everyone here has posted before, soo true, this baby totally sucks up surrounding colour - Im wearing pink and purple pajama's and stone is reflecting that in these photo's..Got a shock when I first opened the parcel as my lounge walls are yellow and the stone really did look completly champagne, to be honest I was kinda shocked, then I remembered what PSers has said about yellow walls so I dashed outside to look at her and was soo relieved to see she was totally white! Its very interesting this constant colour change, I really do love it...
So all in all Im really happy just already have Halo Shrinkage Syndrom and I want to reset this baby in a bigger halo - how much bigger will half pointers be or would one pointers overwhelm a one carat stone?
Anyway onto photos... first in the blue box...
