To Keep or Not to Keep... that is the question!

[Gypsy]

I ADORE your stone. And could live happily with it for the rest of my natural life.

Honestly.

BUT if your mind STILL isn''t set on it. It''s not the right diamond for you, sadly. And should go on to grace the life of someone who is head over heels in love with it.

YAY congrats on making a decision I can''t wait to see the baby set it is truly magnificant

Thanks everyone -- I couldn''t of gone through this whole process without your advice and comments. This site is so wonderful, and the people on it extremely helpful!

I''ve never owned just a loose stone, but seeing it a setting made a world of difference. I started looking at a few stones when I was contemplating not keeping it, and none of them held a candle to this one... some, were worse in #''s and 2x the price!!!!

Thanks again everyone for your help -- Happy Holidays!

Congrats love!!!

THANKS ELLEN!!! .... I really appreciate all your help with this HUGE decision!! Don''t worry, there will be TONS of
pics on the way! Now, I''m biting my nails about the setting, since it''s handmade I have no clue what the final will look like!!!

I think that that is the most gorgeous asscher I have ever seen in my life!!! If I had had that stoen, I don''t think I would have ever swapped it for a bigger asscher or RB! THAT is the type of asscher that you are never going to get disappointed with. Not only is it HUGE, but the patterns, color & windmills are flawless. Can''t wait to see the finished project - you are going to love it!

Well, in a strange twist of fate.... I KEPT IT !

That''s great! I can''t wait to see the finished piece!

 

[lovewhitediamonds]

Thanks again for all your comments everyone!!

The jeweler called this am -- so maybe he''s ready for the stone!!!

Now, my concern is that my rb eternity band isn''t going to match with the tapered bag / and asscher center!!!
Might need your help finding a new wedding band!!!!

.... the problem is, my ring size is 2-3/4... I know, almost freakishly small.... it''s easy for rings to look to heavy... we''ll see!!!

WOW vesper .. just noticed you new avatar!!! IT''S AMAZING!!!! wow, Wow, WOW!!!!

Your asscher is astonishing! The most beautiful I''ve seen. So glad you are keeping it! An asscher with tapered baguettes is one of my all time favorite settings. Can''t wait to see your pictures!

 

[:)]

That stone is utterly stunning! I am so glad you decided to keep it. I love Asschers in larger sizes b/c it allows you to appreciate the beauty of the shape. Congrats!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Thank goodness! That stone is amazing and HUGE!!! I think I actually said that before! Lol! I just couldn''t see how you could do better than that one. And the setting you have chosen would be my #1 pick! I can''t wait to see it! (Where is the former Cartier guy who is making your setting? Inquiring minds need to know!)

 

[lovewhitediamonds]

Picked up my ring last night -- stay tuned for pics soon in the "Show Me the Ring" section!!!!
