Panic!

[Lauren8211]

one more!

 

[Rhea]

Wow! That''s a stone! Mind if I ask what it''s stats are?

 

[Lauren8211]

I don''t know too much about the stone, unfortunately.

I''ll be getting it appraised tomorrow to insure it. (I''m a bit paranoid since the bank fiasco!) Then I''ll know more!

For now, I know it''s just under 2.5 ct and J, VS2.

 

[Dreamgirl]

Woweeeeeee that's a very LARGE stone!!!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

WOW GORGEOUS stone!!!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessDijon]

WOW elle! Crazy story! Glad it all worked out!

 

[FrekeChild]

YAY!!!!! I think we need about 50 more where that came from...

[Dreamgirl]

[FrekeChild]

Lol Elle. I think it looks like a door knob.

(Shhhh....don''t tell DKS I said that! ALthough she''d probably agree.)

Any more pics???

 

[Lauren8211]

FF and I are trying to take a good handshot. It''s freaking hard!

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

Oh my goodness that thing is HUGE!! It looks fabulous on your finger!

 

[Dreamgirl]

[Bia]

[Hudson_Hawk]

Wowza! That''s some ring!!

I''m so glad you got everything worked out. What a fabulous stone!

 

[FrekeChild]

So Elle, what is the story with the ring? You''ve said something about it before, but I can''t remember. Was it your grandmothers or something?

Pimp away, I don''t mind...

[AmberGretchen]

I''m so sorry about the fiasco with the bank, but so glad it worked out OK in the end - your diamond looks like a (huge) stunner!

 

[wishinpink]

YES!! DIAMOND! What a lovely end to a panic thread

Elledizzy:

Thank you for the update, and I am thrilled that it turned out ok.

This thread has been on my mind since you first posted. So scary.

JEEZ ELLE!! I wouldve had a heartattack if the bank even suggested to me that there was ANY POSSIBILITY we couldnt get that stone out of our safe deposit box!! Its gorgeous!! I'm surprised you and SO didnt start figuring out the logistics of breaking into a bank vault - 007 style.

If you look really close you can see where the titanic hit it

HOLY MAMA!

 

[BlueSki231]

HOLEY MOLEY what a gorgeous stone!!

you are one lucky lady to have inherited that!!

 

[Lauren8211]

Thanks you guys for the compliments! That''s so nice of you!

Just glad it''s safe and sound where it belongs!!

Dayum girl. I can''t wait to see that sucker in whatever setting you choose and ON YOUR FINGER! Wow!!! Lucky girl you are!

So glad you could get it back safe and sound from BofA.

Ok, we just left the bank.


WITH THE RING!!

We were at the bank for nearly 2 hours this morning while she tried to sort this mess out. As it turns out, there is no record AT ALL within the bank of us owning this safe deposit box. The rental agreement has disappeared from the planet, and we never received a copy, obviously. There are THREE ways that this rental should have been recorded. The computer, a written rental agreement, and a log that the bank is required to keep for 7 years, of who enters the safe deposit box area. You have to sign in to do so, and somehow us signing in 9 months ago simply disappeared.


Corporate left it up to her discretion to let us in. So she, the branch manager, the assistant manager, and me and FF had to go in together to open the box and verify the contents of it. The diamond was in there safe and sound, and now it''s with me. We''re going to get it appraised and insured today.


I am so, so, so relieved. Thank you again everyone for your advice, support, and supportive rage!

I can''t believe this happened!


Lesson learned. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get documentation of EVERYTHING. Trust no one!

THANK GOODNESS!! I couldn''t log in yesterday on my phone so i was wondering...
I am so glad it worked out!

I''m so glad the bank fiasco worked out for you, Elle! Your diamond is beyond gorgeous. Lucky girl! I can''t wait to see how you set it.

Whoops, missed this question.

Yes, it was my grandmother''s ring. She died while my mom was pregnant with me, and told my mom to make sure I got the ring when I was old enough. So it really has a lot of sentimental value more than anything.
