I am seriously still in shock that this is real, but now that payments have been made I wanted to share with PS folks.

drumroll please.....

I finally bought an Octavia!!!

I've been selling stuff I no longer wear in an attempt to save the 12-14k needed to purchase one, but have simultaneously been checking all of the vendors that used to sell them just in case.

Yesterday I was looking on Good Old Gold's website and THEY ACTUALLY HAD ONE! I immediately called and asked if it was real or a website error. The sales associate initially told me it had to be an error, as they didn't have any Octavias. But then he looked and said "oh wow, there is one! It was a trade up!" I immediately asked him to put it on hold for 24H while I got funds together, and today it's officially MINE!

Website pics attached since it won't ship until funds clear/wire transfer completes. Here's the link, which includes a video: https://www.goodoldgold.com/diamonds/id/4021898

I cannot wait to see it in person. I have wanted an Octavia for YEARS, and cannot believe I finally found one, especially for under 10k. I still can't believe it, and am a bit in shock. BUT ALSO SOOOO EXCITED!

EDIT. Tagging @Simple and Sparkly because she knows how long I've wanted one of these, and @Karl_K and @diagem to thank them for making such a perfect cut.
 
Congrats! What a stunner!
 
Congratulations! So exciting. Do you know how you will set it?

Not entirely sure, but I'd theoretically like to set it in the 4-prong, compass style 2-tone ring that my current asscher from Distinctive Gems is in. But it might not be possible to go all the way from a 6.8 to a 5.6 stone (even though it's a plain setting). I'll see once it gets here, but I'd like to keep the setting simple so that the stone can be the "star".
 
It's a beauty for sure!
 
Awesome!!!! Congrates!!!
 
This is awesome and what a fabulous price
 
Omg that is gorgeous!! Congratulations!!!
