We went to buy a PC to replace our 4yo crappy one that has been needing 4-6 restarts before properly starting up. After choosing the items to go into the built-to-order PC, we had to wait for 2 hours and decided to walk to the shopping center nearby to look for some business shirts for DH. Along the way, guess where we walked into?

They just happened to have a new range of GIA cert pre-set stones and I just had to have a look at them. I saw the 0.36ct F/ SI1 (crystal) for SIN$1129 after a 40% discount; 4.54-4.58x2.78, 61% depth, 62% table, slightly thick to thick faceted girdle, no culet, Polish/ Sym: VG, no fluor, minimal light leakage with the IS, some nice arrows but nothing spectacular, the crystal is near one of the prongs and *I* cannot see it (though I havent had enough sleep so),

I have also placed a reservation for another stone (husband doesnt know I am buying it!!) . Another GIA, 0.3ct F/ VS1, 4.28-4.32 x 2.66, Depth 61.9%, Table 58%, Medium to slightly thick faceted girdle, no culet, polish/ sym: good, cloud & feather, no fluor, SIN$1307.40. My local expert said it was a really nice stone and it had kick-ass arrows!! I just *have* to buy it, if not I'd be kicking myself. They also recently came up with making really fine and thin pinky rings from white, rose and yellow gold. And so I also had to have one of those for SIN$19.90

I'll most prolly be making them into earrings, yeah they dont match in measurements but who's going to be able to tell when they are in my ears? And with all that bling going on!!!

Since the PC is new I cant upload my digicam pics and only have this lousy mobile phone one.

I do have earrings that are 0.67cttw that were a wedding present from my mum but they are poorly cut. She wants to make them into dangly ones for herself, so yeah these 2 new stones will become my new earrings

And i can''t help it if the diamond market here is hotting up at the moment with intense competition that enables me to get them at much lower prices.

The pendant is the more gorgeous stone, has well formed arrows of (infamous H&A
31.gif
) I will try to take a picture of it with the IS, H&a scope and on the neck of course. It is a nice size on mine even though it is prong set and "only" 0.3ct, the cut is good enough to make it look bigger for its weight

DF: These stones are terrible I tell you. They are constantly plotting and planning on devious new ways to trap us mere mortals into buying them!!

Tomatoe,

Neat pics! I liked the way you cut out the different letters and the star picture! Much better than the webphone (

)
 
Thanks Websailor, I didn''t have to cut out anything, too lazy for that too.

Our new webcam comes with a funky s/w that has those options and I decided to try it out.

Tomatoe, you''ve got the "eye" (and the "sickness" to go with it

) and have picked up some amazing beauties!

Hey, anything I can do to fuel another gal''s diamond madness is my pleasure!

I walked past the shop where I bought my channel set band and they had another channel set band on offer but with 10x 0.02ct each instead of the 8x 0.03ct in mine so it covers the finger span nicely to give the full eternity illusion......

I don''t need to say that I bought it though since they didnt have my teeny size, I ordered it and it will only be ready in a month when my bank account will hopefully be fatter!!!!

Oooo Tomatoe you''ve got it bad; I mean goooood!

I can''t wait to see the new band.
