Congratulations hon!!!! I love the liquidy smooth look of it, like a Mark Morrell ring!

Hi Butterfly 17 ~

Oh Thank you!

You know, I was thinking it ... but didn''t dare want to say it ... but since you did ...

Yes, When I saw this pic ... {{{Gasp!}}}

I thought it had that same kind of smoothness ... same kind of liquid high polish feel to it like someone else ... {{{MM}}}.

Now, I''m not in anyway saying that it is just like MM, ... but in this one pic ...
WOW!

I am really impressed with the quality of the polish! Yowsa!

Here is my ering on one of the sweet lovely gals @ GOG ... it is ''not'' paired with my wedding ring ... but it does let you visualize what this lovely setting would look like with a curver rb diamond channel set band ... I like this look too.

I agree.. this is just beautiful. Your diamond is stunning.. !!!

Hi SanDiegoLady ~

Thank you ... my hometown gal!

I think your ring is stunning too!

Your big special day is comming right up!

How''z the butterflies coming along??? Hope everything ... Hope everyday will be "smooth sailing!"

 

[Lorelei]

Oh Wow, late to this thread, the ring is SUPERB!!!!

Plus I can''t think of anyone who deserves it more

Also I bet Jon and the gang had a blast creating this ring for such a special lady! Congrats!

PS I love basket settings too! I have one and use a little wooden cocktail stick when cleaning round the bottom of the diamond, it is safe and works well, little tip for you!

 

[Ellen]

MDJ, your ring is simplicity at its best. Beautiful, I love it!

 

[sevens one]

[Dee*Jay]

Oh Mrs. DJ I''m so happy for you!!! The ring is STUNNING and I can''t wait ''till you have the pleasure of having it on your hand!

 

[magpye]

your diamond is literally OFF THE CHARTS!!!!! It''s bee-yoo-tee-ful

and your setting is absolutely divine. like a tall drink of ice cold fluid water on a hot day. can you tell it''s hot in here? LOL
I bet your hand is getting a lot of stares!

 

[Scintillating]

Darlin, I've been waitin' *SO* long for you to get this ring! GOG's pics look great, but I can't wait to see *real life* pics - charge up your camera honey! (Can't wait to see it with your bands too.)

It totally does remind me of an Mark Morrell, it's so Smooth and sexy.

Yes, I said sexy.

It's also very Cartier classic, very cool - and not the slightest bit boring.
I love it! Congratulations!

*Oh* your kids sound adorable.

Hehehe. laser beams.

[Tacori E-ring]

How exciting, it is beautiful! I can''t wait to see it on your hand. The polish looks wonderful! Very fluid and classic.

 

[Miranda]

***That thing is crazy sparkly!!!*** I love it in the solitaire setting. Let the star shine! Congrats to you!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I have looked at Vatche rings twice in the last couple of weeks, and as soon as I touched them, I thought, these are like Mark Morrell! They are very perfectly finished. They feel as good as they look!

Hi Lorelei ~

Thank you so much for the comment, your sooo sweet!

Everyone at GOG who was involved from the very beginning of searching for the perfect diamond that we could realisticly afford, to endless emails of oh I like this setting, I like that one ... how wide ... how tall ... how much, Some telephone calls, and alot of patience ... Every single person was a pleasure to to correspond with! They are truely wonderful and giving people ... and must have the patience of

angels

to do what they do, and come across as if "I" was their only client! Their Top-notch customer service has been exemplary!

I really do love this ring! It was thin so I could accomodate two other diamond wedding bands and have enough finger space to wear them. I loved how that this particular setting was set just high enough so that my diamond bands could sit as near as flush as possible without the basket getting in the way ... and of course, I just love the smooth curving of the shoulders!

And Thankd you for the Tip!

Hi Dee*Jay ~

Thank you for sharing my happiness!

My walking steps have a little added bounce to them lately!

When I got those pic''s of my finished ring ... I could only think of "Oh my ... I wish this Doctors appt would just hurry up and get over with ... I''ve got some posting to do!"

To tell you the truth, I did like the manufacture''s picture of this setting. However, when Christen emailed me the pics that she took, I was like ... "Oh my gosh

!" I thought it was so

beautiful

... and then when I saw that one picture of it in the pinchy ring holder ... I gasped and thought "Holy cow ... look at that polish!"

I still love just going back and looking at that picture ... it''s just so smooth and shiny looking!

I think I am going to need some "chill" pills to get me through till my ring comes home!

Hi Magpye ~

Oh my ... Thank you!

Oh my gosh ... it does sound that your are very

hot

!

Speaking of

Hot

... Marie @ GOG was very kind to email me about my ring and it''s progress, and she told me that it was almost done, and it was at Vatche and was being polished, and of all days for these people to be without A/C! All I know is they did a magnificent job polishing my ring, and the poor dears ... in very hot weather, no a/c!

It will be another 1 - 1/2 weeks before I get to see my "Precious". It''s gonna be hard waiting.

Hi Scintillating ~

Thank you for your comments!

Gosh ... you guys ... Gee, could I smile any bigger?

Yes, I need to get those batteries charging and ready! I am so nervous ... I hope I can do a good job capturing the charm and sparkle of this ring!

You all are sooo good at taking pictures! I actually had this crazy dream last night. I had GOG print out a map of the United States, and instructions on who to send my ring to and then that person would take all these awesome

''s and then send it to the next person, and so on until it was done being thouroughly photographed by all, and the map had these round dot''s every place it went, by the time I got my ring, the map was covered with red round dots to mark it''s scenic voyage and was accompanied by a

portfolio!

Hehehe ... Sexy! {{{Blushing}}}

My ring is going to get a complex! Well, I will not disagree with you ... I really do love how this ring is very similar to the Vatche Royal Crown ... it''s has the same kind of "Sexy" curving lines ... it''s just way thinner.

And the cartier solitaire is so very classic

... I have always

it ... & when I think of it ... I think of fine chocolate ... Oh so yummy

! Actually at one point I was considering having a Cartier reproduction made, but didn''t. BTW, they actually have a spit shank on their website that I think is "Out of this World!"

And my teenagers

... they are great kids! My son especially can be quite the teaser, and oh so funny. He can be so graphically detailed and dramatic! He with his changing crackling voice doing stand up comedy, will definately have most people ROFL! Last night I had to tell him to stop ... my side was starting to hurt from laughing too much!]

Hi Miranda ~

Thank you!

I hear it''s a sparkler ... and I really can''t wait to see it for myself!

Oh the anticipation!!!

I already have my list going ...

I wonder what it looks like:

1. Inside: Bathroom lighting, hallway lighting, livingroom lighting during the day!

2. Outside: Direct sunlight, Sunlight w/shade under my huge Maple tree, patio (Day) & Patio at night via candles or / or with the hanging strands of grape lights.

3. Car: Day

... driving

/ not driving! And of course, I will have to plan a trip thru a drive thru at

night

, and I will have to make sure that someone will be behind me with their lights on

!

4. Work: I have "

sun

lights" installed in the department I work. "Great Boss" she thinks they help combat "moodiness" and worth the extra $$ compared to reg. flour. lighting!

5: We don''t have a "Tower Records" but I will have to venture out to the mall and see what lighting they have there too!

Anticipation ... Butterflies ...

Hi Diamondseeker ~

You are so lucky to be able to see Vatche in person!

Oh I can''t wait to be able to touch the metal myself!

Christen told me in an email, that if I was happy & liked the pics ... then I will love the ring! She said it came out "Amazing!"

I think I am going to need to get one of those jewelry polishing cloths so I can keep the finger prints off!

*And I know that you will find a gorgeous setting soon

... It''s hard to take the plunge on a setting you can''t see in person first.

Hi Wifey2b ~

Yes, how about that ... what excellent timing!

As soon as my new "Precious Baby Girl" comes home ... I am sure there will be all the typicall "OOOuuuing & AAAhhhing" and "Passing the Precious new Baby around like a football"!

I being a responsible parent thou, will have to step in, and take the Precious new Baby and simply explain that the "Baby" is brand new, and can't take all the fussing and passing around, and needs a little privacy with Momma!

It's funny, I am already thinking about what am I going to need when the "Baby" comes home! I need a super soft cloth for polishing, baby toothbrush and gentle cleanser to keep it clean and sparkly, I need to make sure the locks are working properly ... make sure no Boogie-men can just come in the middle of the night and snatch the new "Baby" up!

Pic's will definately be posted upon her anxiously awaited impending arrival!

I am sure the drama will be over the top when my "Baby" arrives!

Hi Diamondsrock ~

Thank you for your comment!

It was a very hard decision trying to narrow it down based just on the on-line pic''s ... and I am so glad that I took the chance and went with this setting.

I really think that the diamond looks pretty in this Vatche setting from the pic''s, so I think when I get it, I am going to be a little "ga

-

ga" when I actually see it for the first time! I will be anxiously await it''s arrival!

Hi Monarch ~

Your not late at all! Just in time to start handing me the "chill" pills!

I was finally able to get my diamond ... a real one! This is the one that I got in January. And, it has taken so long to get it in a setting.

No smacky-smacky! If you hold out your wrists ... I might just have to let you wear one of my bracelets!

Thanks for sharing in my happiness!

I am really happy ... I am really excited ... and I can't wait to set eyes on my new diamond ering!
