Hallo!!!!!
I posted pics in Show Me the Bling but you guys in CS are my family so I've got to start a thread for you guys!
It all started when I randomly sat around and decided I wanted a ruby. No idea why. I'm not really even into red gems. It was a super random notion.
Enquired about a lovely 2 carat ruby, showed it to hubby.
Response: Why are we paying so much for something the size of a piece of snot?
Me (gets all defensive): What the heck is that supposed to mean.
Hubby: It's tiny! I would be one of those women who wear small petite rings because I'm not flamboyant like you but even I think it's tiny.
I grizzled at him and stormed off but it did make me think.
Do I want a small tasteful ring?
No
I want to be fabulous and flamboyant damnit!!!
Can I afford a giant ruby?
Hell no!!!
What looks kinda red and is affordable?
Ooooh Rubellite
And off I went!!!
I randomly loaded Starlanka's page, messaged the lovely gentleman about some stones. He was so helpful and nice. No hard sell, just very matter of fact advice. I originally fell in love with all sorts of random stuff but he said they were very included and some would be black in poor lighting.
I told him I had a fear of black/brown stones and will cry if I get a black or brown stone that dies. We found this stone which he assured me would keep it's red color in most lights, poor or otherwise. And he was correct!!!!!! It is fabulously red!!!!!!
My camera is not doing it justice though!!!
Anyways after I selected a stone, I told him my vision and he made it happen!!! I tend to know exactly what I want so I was done with my design after about three days, obtaining a quote and a cad.
I wanted something that would do the stone justice and I wanted some marquis diamonds. Just because!!!!
So after all that ranting .....
Ta da!!!!
