Holy crap LS that is stunning! Looking forward to hand shots! I''m having my diamond recut, well hoping to anyway, if Brian approves it. Ours will probably be getting out of there around the same time.

Hello Kelli!

Maybe our stones will become friends while in Houston...they can be pen pals!

It''s hard to wait though, isnt'' it? Though I must say, WF makes it a bit easier because I''m part of some sort of "process" every week or so. Not a lot of blank wait times in between stuff happening.

They are amazing.

Good luck with your recut...that must be a bit nerve wracking? or no??

Oy...I''m really bored and tempted to call my jeweler. Someone divert my attention...anyone need something photoshopped?

Can you photoshop my head onto Eva Longoria''s body please??

LS

 

[misspinky]

LOL!!!!! It''s funny that you say that--one of my friends missed a photo op with Albert Pujols (baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals) and he had me photoshop him into the picture.

Things I did today to make the waiting easier:

-designed our save the dates (which are going out miserably late, but oh well)
-designed our invitations
-looked for undergarments for the wedding
-found flowers for the bouquets

No Star Sapphires for me today. I went in to get them - and was NOT happy. They were supposed to take my old solitaire setting and swap out the 6 prong head for one more suitable for a cabachon stone. Supposed to be 4 prong to match the earrings....

They just took the sapphire and dropped it into the 6 prong setting. The profile was awful.

They''re fixing it.... but.....

h

They just called - I''m going in to look at the head they want to use on lunch. Hope and pray that it doesn''t suck! And that it''s not going to cost me an arm and a leg.

No camera... I know, bad girl me!

Hmm - think I should ask them to North/South the prongs for me? I mean, since they haven''t done it yet....

Then again, it''s the same gal as last time, and she puts me in a fighting mood, LOL.

Do it MY WAY!

Do it MY WAY!

Do you think that setting it N/S when it''s a star sapphire, would look like too much going on? I dunno, a part of me would always then be looking to see if the top of the star was in perfect alignment with the N/S prongs....

...bad LS

stop being so anal!

LS

 

[MonkeyPie]

geckodani, I hope it works out! I''m with LS about the N-S idea though...I think it would be weird any other way with the points of the star/prongs.

Even though I''m waiting on a stone, not a ring, can I join you ladies? I am about to DIE waiting for my asscher.

[geckodani]

Hmm. Well, they''re doing it N/S. I think it''ll be fun, LOL. And I don''t care if the star is perfectly aligned, LOL!

I - yeah. I''m a little nervous about the whole thing now. *sigh*


Hi MonkeyPie!

 

[geckodani]

Now you guys have me all freaked out about the prongs.

ETA: I can NOT call her back and change it again!!!!

 

[geckodani]

Misspinky - Can you photshop my star into a N/S 4 prong?

 

[geckodani]

I rotated the earrings and they look okay!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

OK, so I''m on the waiting list with my Grossular Garnet - Jeff needs to find some rough first, but he said it would be "no problem" to get it cut by October.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh, and I mentioned how much love he gets on PS, and he said he truly appreciates all of the kind words about him here.

Such a nice guy!

Yay yay yay!!

I really think it will be okay, and kind of funky. And since the band is just a 2mm plain, I was trying to add some interest. But now I'm nervous, LOL!

ETA: If you're going to do it, would you make the star NOT line up, so I can see how it will look? LOL!
You have all corrupted me.

 

[MonkeyPie]

I''ll try to do both

Hi MonkeyPie!

I dunno Dani, I always feel discombobulated when my stars are out of alignmehnt!!

You''re probably not as anal as I am! And THAT''s a good thing!

Seriously. I wasn''t worried about asking you all to help calm my insanity, LOL! Yay for Coloured Stones! (I spelled that all Canadian/Aussie/European for you and everything).
