Upgrading to ACA 3.01 VS1 F!

[MamaBee]

Yay! I was hoping you would say that because she is icy white and wintery cool. She's winter in all the best possible ways.

Thank you @missy! I love snow and winter..It’s calming to be in the house..safe and warm. She has the same quality as Libby...I stare into her and feel calm. That sounds so cheesy but it’s true...

She really is perfect on you!

 

[MamaBee]

She really is perfect on you!

@mrs-b Thank you! I miss my tapered baguette setting...I love the swoopy prongs on the Valoria...I don’t think I can mix the two..It may be two much going on..Thoughts?

So I know that I’m late bc you already finalized her name but, every time I come across your ring I think of the movie Frozen bc of the F and winter. And then I think of Elsa. So in my mind, winter will always be Elsa! lol

 

[Slickk]

Love the name Winter for her. She’s just stunning on you! I also understand missing the baguettes. I’m sure you could combine both swoopy prongs and bags with dk.

I like Elsa too! And winter. Doh. Got me thinking...

 

[Bonfire]

You know it’s Winter when you get frost on your window
Winter, Elsa, Frosty, Snow White, you’ve got some icy crystal @MamaBee!

ETA. We need a lot more pictures please!

It’s so cold out @Bonfire! The snow is deep on my deck and no sun! The sun will be out tomorrow so I plan on taking some crummy pics then!

I can’t wait to see more pictures of Winter! That’s really the perfect name! It evokes the feeling that comes with crystal clear ice. Lovely

Nice family shot! All gorgeous!

 

[MamaBee]

Thank you @caf..The Valoria setting gives me more opportunity to actually wear all the bands I have...I love the tapered baguette band setting I had..but I couldn’t wear a lot of the bands with it.

@MamaBee

She’s insured as of 12 midnight! I called them on Monday...It took so long to get her insured...I keep trying to take her pic...I stink! I love her though..

Hi MamaBee, congrats on your upgrade! It's gorgeous!!!! Did you end up getting USAA to insure your ACA? Do you know if they will replace an ACA stone and do they need a separate appraisal?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you @Cheriechewy! I called them on a Monday. It was insured on that Friday. It had to go through the underwriters review...My appraisal and AGS document say it’s A CUT ABOVE. The insurance description now describes it as a A CUT ABOVE super ideal hearts and arrows. They didn’t specify that it was purchased at Whiteflash. There‘s only a few places where they could get a diamond with that description. I think if it was lost or stolen they would try to meet those specs...I wouldn’t accept that unless it was one of the known super ideal vendors.

@MamaBee would you happen to have a photo from Whiteflash that they sent before shipping of your Valoria that shows the top and profile of the ring? I was hoping to send it to Michelle for setting height, if you don’t mind.

The three photos they sent doesn’t show anything. I wish they did a straight up side view..They sent just a face on one and two tilted ones. I never liked how they do that. You can’t tell what it really looks like. It also makes the prongs look like animal claws...They’re not realistic.
I had to cut off the Whiteflash logo because of PS rules..

 

[mochidiamonds]

@MamaBee thanks for the pics, this is helpful. I just noticed your prongs curve slightly more over the diamond than @Dmndsr4evr11. Wow the details you notice, wonder if it’s because the diamond sits lower or if it’s due to the diameter. I was thinking everyone got the same pics like @Dmndsr4evr11 with the grayish blue background.

I’m sure it’s the diameter @mochidiamonds It hugs the diamond so it takes on the shape.

I tried to take a photo..It looks so pretty but I can’t capture it!

Thank you so much @MamaBee. I am waiting for my ring and thought I could start my research on JM vs USAA. It's good to know that USAA included ACA super ideal hearts and arrows in the descriptions. I think we will go with USAA as well since JM is so expensive!!
