Yay BEG!

So..... tentatively shipping Nov 17th, a package from Houston will be completing my set! Bwah hah hah! And hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, you''re getting the bezel set Adwar band I take it??? That is going to look so gorgeous! I was browsing that site last night and found about 10 different bands that I would *love* as a w-ring. I can''t wait to see the finished product when you get your band from WF!

Me either! I get little bitty ACAs, LOL!

Hi ladies!!

Mochi-- I didn''t upgrade the diamonds and am ok with them, but deifintely would recommend upgrading them if it was for a more "special" or important ring. For what it is and what I paid they''re fine, but they''re not amazing by any means.

ILE--- UPDATES??? How did that ring turn out?? You know we all need to know!!! And thank you for the compliments on my ring! Although, it must have been set by the people who messed up yours LOL!! If you saw my thread you know it was set terribly. It''s now at a different jewelers being fixed. It''s pretty hard to find a decent jeweler in my little town.

BEG-- Thanks for saying that jeweler was out of line. I certainly thought so too and it''s nice to hear it from someone else! I can''t wait to see your next project

I''m looking froward to seeing everyone else''s new pretties too. Wishing you all a short wait

Hello! I''m now officially waiting on my recut/recert/reset from WF for my e-ring. FI just sent payment in today and they just put the order through. Although technically they have had my diamond/old mount since October 14th.....

I am anxious already!!!!!

Tentative date for ship is 12/4 but I don''t know how it will fare due to holidays in between.....

Welcome here ficklefaye!

Do you have any pictures of the ring you''re replicating? We''d love to see it.

In the meantime, here''s some chocolate to tide you over.

WOO-HOOOO it will be so fun to see someone else''s transformation now! I can''t wait for some pics!!! We need more details...

 

[Kelli]

Can''t wait to see your pics Ficklefaye.

WHERE THE HECK IS ILE???? Girl I''ve been waiting a while for those pics now!! I sure hope it came out alright!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

First, where is ILE??? I''m dying to see how the ring turned out!

Dani, I''m so excited for you!

Crossing my fingers that the days leading to Nov. 17 fly by!

LostSapphire, exciting! Who is setting it?

Kelli, no problem. The jeweler was in the wrong, but in the end, you have gorgeous rings anyway, right? Too bad for him they''re not from his store!

Princess, that is so great! What does it look like now, and what''s it going to look like when it''s done?

FickleFaye, good luck! I can''t wait to see your ring!

Update: Jeff has finished my pink tourmaline!!! Hopefully I''ll have some pictures tomorrow - yay!!!

And I bought a setting on ebay for my green tourmaline from Barry Bridgestock - here it is!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

And here is the green tourmaline

 

[Kelli]

YUM!!!!!!

 

[T L]

ooooooooo!! Yummy green tourmaline - is that a chrome tourmaline? We should start a thread on "stones in waiting." I''m dying on waiting for stones - even before I start on ring projects!!

 

[ficklefaye]

hi ladies, i think the setting is called a ritani endless love without halo on PS, i was thinking of getting the knox milano instead, but i decided to try the custom route for my reset seeing as both seem to be beyond my budget

my FI''s friend works in the jewelry district and he''s been hunting down similar rings for me, i really like the thin micropave but am open to variations on the rest of the ring, i''m excited to see what FI''s friend comes up with, he will be sending pics this weekend, i''m excited!

in the meantime, i have been trying to hunt down a 0.5ish ct pink sapphire pear as a size project. i always wanted a pear diamond, but i wasn''t sure i wanted it for my engagement ring. sapphire is my birthstone, so i thought, what the heck, why not a sapphire pear ring? i found a few i liked on africagems.com. it was on the list of colored stone sites. have any of you bought through them?

thanks and i can''t wait to see photos of all your rings! i love this site!

Green tourm is here! It''s so pretty and deep green - and so bittersweet, because this HAS to be my last gem purchase for the year 2008

Pictures to come soon!

 

[dancingflame]

Well, since both my setting and stone are in but I have no idea when FF''s going to have it set or when I''ll actually have the finished ring on my finger I''m officially joining this thread. FYI, I''m buying stock in Ben and Jerry''s.
