The 5ct ACA is mine - I''m rather excited

[sparkles]

And of course nervous................

A Big Big Thankyou to Traci and Whiteflash.

TRACI, a personal thankyou for your integrity and unparalleled level of service through this whole process.

Thankyou to Brian and the time he spent "showing me the ropes" on both visits. I have never met anyone who lives, breathes, eats and exists for diamonds. I thought I was possessed until I met Brian!

Traci is excited and somewhat relieved to see me finally happy with a stone.

I only have positive things to say about my experience with Whiteflash.

The doors of my house will always be open to you guys.

So here''s the ICE

 

[Dee*Jay]

WHAT?!? You are now the proud owner of the 5 ct ACA?! WOO HOO -- I''m THRILLED for you! Please accept this request for one gazillion pictures PRONTO please!

 

[mommybuss]

How exciting!! Congratulations. Can I ask what the "specs" are on the diamond? I almost got that setting, it''s very beautiful in person!!

 

[LadyAmythyst69]

Yowza!!! I''m so excited for you.

(And for us because now we get to drool over it endlessly!)

 

[lyra]

WOW!!!

Congrats!!

 

[ringster]

OH MY GOSH!!!! That is just sooo awesome!!!

Gosh I love enabling FIVE CARAT stone purchases.

Seriously, this is so exciting for me. That 5c has been at WF for a while now, because really there aren't that many people who plunk down $100k or whatever for a stone...I wish I could be one of them but alas I am but a mere mortal...hehee. So it's really exciting for me to see someone on PS end up with such an amazing, rare find!! Esp since I had it on my grubby hand and was halfheartedly contemplating a wee little heist along with my partners in crime!

Oh and honestly, we had no idea that this was the I SI stone when we had it on. Last year I think they had a G SI or something as well as this stone (if I recall correctly) and we thought that literally this was that 5c. This stone is WHITE.

YAY! I cannot wait to see pictures of this on your new ring (and of course I love the idea of the ring itself, sheer simplicity)...and the big bling. Congrats lady!!

I think it was the 7.5 ct that was the G.....to my recollection.

 

[Kaleigh]

OMG YAY for you!!!!!! Positively thrilled for you sparkles, had an idea you were going to get it. WOOHOO!!!!

 

[butterfly 17]

Holy crap that thing is huge. congrats!!!

 

[sparkles]

Couldn''t help myself.

It was really close. The 4ct is such a beautiful stone.....but a 5ct ACA, thats a different story. I will be sorry to see the 4ct go back to the vendor....I wish I could take home both of them......haha

 

[tberube]

good God. I''m speechless......and completely jealous.

Can''t wait to see it set...!

Sparkles, you made the right choice. That stone is CRAZY alive! I have a TON of pictures of it, and the COLORS it throws off and the 'dancing arrows'......yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yep - you done good!

Congrats....I'm insanely jealous, and insanely happy to know that it's going to someone who understands what it is and how to appreciate it. It found the right home - yay!

 

[bebe]

Oh my GOSH!!
It''s gorgeous!!

You lucky girl! Please post more pics!

(I''ve tried on that 7ct., it was stunning)

 

[KtIceRN]

CONGRATS Sparkles!!!!

Believe me I definitely thought about a heist more than once while it was on my finger!!!
I could have put that stone right in the bucket of my tractor and rode off into the sunset and no one would have noticed.......... Ahhhh to dream LOL!

 

[Ninama]

*gulp*​

 

[door knob solitaire]

Ok then. The game for me is officially over. I hereby relinquish all rights to my moniker (yes I was holding on to a shred of hope). That IS THE stone that could be used to open all kinds of doors. Really big, heavy doors.

Rather excited you say. I see. Define rather. Well Webster offered this...

in some degree : somewhat —often used as a mild intensive spent rather a lot of money

Hmmmm....Funny they should mention the sum of money. Apparently Webster inserted rather to describe your excitement over obtaining a FIVE CARAT DIAMOND. Hello? Rather excited myself. My heart is palpitating...My brow is moist...and I am shaking...this is what your reaction should be. Hello are you breathing? I'm not.

Unbelievable. Incredible. Absolute mind blowing excited. I am just a rambling babbling idiot over your newest acquisition. OK, I've always been one...but never frothing at the mouth to this extent.

I am thrilled beyond containment for you...no that is rather thrilled beyond containment I should say!

[DiamanteBlu]

Congratulations! It is a gorgeous stone. Can''t wait to see the finished piece! Good for you!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Wow!!

That is incredible! I can''t wait to see it set!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

WOW! I cannot imagine ever spending that much or ever owning a diamond that large so I will have to live the experience through you. Seriously, congratulations! I can''t wait to see it set.

Ummm. *raises hand* I would have noticed. Yeah. Fat chance pulling that one over on me woman!!! Nice try though! I know you are *FAST* but not THAT fast (contrary to what certain Brits may have heard).

 

[angeline]

Speechless. Amazed. Want to see more!!! pleeeeease...... from all angles, in all lights.

Cannot wait to see it set and on your hand.

Congratulations
