Never a Good Idea to Bet With CatMom

[Catmom]

I have to stipulate up front that this bet was all hubby''s idea! It was a sucker bet for me.....I couldn''t lose either way. If I won I got something I wanted and if I lost I got something else that I wanted. No brainer for me! I made the bet and ...................................................

I actually went *Gasp* when I saw that!!! Its

Hubby lost the bet. I really hoped that he would win but that''s another story. This wasn''t a bad consolation prize. It''s the sapphire and diamond bracelet I have been eyeing for over a year. 1.97 ctw of G VS2 diamonds and 7.20 cts of round sapphires. I''m really sad though because hubby is now stating to everyone that will hear that he will never make a bet with me again.

Just look at those tiny claw prongs! They are amazing.

It is lovely Catmom! What a sweet hubby you have! Wrist shots please..

[geckodani]

Holy Moly! That''s stunning!

No - what was the bet?

 

[Catmom]

Thanks guys! I''m trying with more pics but nothing is going through.

 

[bee*]

That is absolutely stunning. One of the nicest pieces I''ve seen!

 

[Catmom]

I hope this doesn''t get eaten too!

Here''s my set. It fits in pretty well don''t you think?

 

[Catmom]

Wow, you guys are quick!! I love it too. SS, here's a wrist shot.

ETA: This shows the clasp too. It's really hard to find and has 2 small saftey catches that fit underneath that stone.

 

[Dee*Jay]

All I can say is, next time I go to Vegas I''m going with you Michelle!

LOVELY!!!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Congrats to you on winning the bet! That bracelet is stunning!!!!

 

[Lorelei]

Thats a set fit for a queen Michelle!!!

 

[tyty333]

"Wow" came out of my mouth. It went straight from my eyes to my mouth without even having to think! So pretty!
Your blue collection is just beautiful!

EDIT - why doesnt my DH make me those kind of bets

 

[Catmom]

geko, the bet was if we got the house we submitted an offer on down in FL he could get a 52" LCD TV for it and if we didn''t get the house I could get this bracelet. I couldn''t lose. I would have been very happy had he won the bet. I really wanted that house.....sigh but this ain''t a bad consolation prize. We''ll be back on the house hunt in the fall. We only put an offer in now on this one because it was such a great house and location.

I am so sorry you lost the house, I know how much you wanted it, but another and better one will be right around the corner.

Your bracelet looks so beautiful on your wrist. I just adore it and the color of the sapphires are fantastic.
