I got a new stone/ring last Friday, it got shipped from the states well over a week ago, I watched FedEx online tracking a few times every day until it flew from L.A to Sydney, then I rang them and paid the fees. Then I had to wait some more for it to ship overnight to Brisbane. I was so tragic I got them to hold it at the depot and drove 40 mins each way to get it in case I missed the delivery van on Friday (they don't deliver on the weekends here so if I was doing school runs or missed them it would not get here until Monday). So I know what it was like, waiting a week was......

I will be doing the happy dance with you when it arrives!!!! Octavia's are freakin amazing!!!

Ummm... You need to SHARE ARKIE!!!

Kenny, your Octavia is SPECTACULAR. It makes my heart go pitter patter. Great setting. So stylish and simple.

Thank you everyone for sharing my excitement.
Tonight we took it for a test drive in Costco since they have some of the best lighting for diamond fire and scintillation.

Now I can do this thing my SO's been doing to me … we hold our ring-hand up on our forehead and exclaim we have a headache … it's only to get the other person to look at us so we can show off our Octavias.
He's been doing this to me for 3 years and finally it's pay-back time.

Though the ring is from Boonerings, it is not made from titanium.
I chose their new cobalt-chrome alloy, mostly because it is whiter alloy than titanium.
(My partner's titanium ring is quite dark now … I'll get some pics up after the holiday. Maybe it needs polishing.)
Cobalt-chrome is also 1 to 2 steps harder on the Mohs scale than titanium so it's more scratch-resistant.

This bright white metal, especially with its polished finish in the grooves next to the diamond, reflect bright white light and sort of blend into the brightness of this diamond.
I recommend this alloy.
I asked Bruce to modify the 'prongs', which are normally square on top, to be triangles so they blend into Octavia's vibrating pattern.

I really wish more people could see this cut live.

I'm going to have to get used to this large diamond.
I've worn a 0.83 carat round for a year and a half.

I bought a plain sterling silver band for times at work when I'm in locations where I should not look too blingie because this diamond is a quite the attention-getter.
Already two people in Costco commented on it and I caught others staring ……… to Karl.

There are no words.

I just wish they weren't so expensive (I understand *why* they are-just sad that I'll never own one in my lifetime!)

STUNNING design on the ring Kenny. Wow. Wow. WOW!
