A very very BIG thank you to the PS mods for holding such a generous Holiday giveaway!! I had to read Andrey's email three times through to believe what I was seeing 
And then... the waffling began!! I had a couple of projects in the queue and my first thought was to get them finished but... it felt like such an unexpected gift should go toward a splurge on something equally unexpected...
These were first on the list: http://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/yellow-diamond-earrings-48cts-w-x-vs1-round-brilliant-bezel-set-dangle-earrings-r4436 but having acknowledged that I already have too many earrings to appreciate just a couple of weeks earlier, that got tossed and I went fishing. I narrowed it down to either the Honey eternity or 1ct shared prong bangle from WF, ruminated for a week, and finally made DH go through my stash of pics and vote. He voted bangle so bangle it was!
Sadly, turns out the shared prong bangle is 2.5" in diameter and they can't make it any smaller. My late grandmother's bangles are a hair under 2.2" so I was pretty sure 2.5" would be too big and the sample sizer I tried on locally confirmed that, but (fortunately for me!) WF then told me that they'd be able to get another cast that's a bit smaller - a plain bangle with no latch - and that was all I needed to hear
My beautiful new bangle is ~1ct ACA melee in 14k wg and it's a line of glitter!!! I didn't expect 1pointers to have this much presence - the bangle is delicate but SO sparkly!! It's still a bit bigger than the others but that actually works nicely for stacking
