We bought the stone!

[AmberWaves]

Well, we went today and put the wire transfer through! So now this little baby is mine. All I need to do is wait for them to get my setting, and then voila!! Of course the wait for them to get the setting is killing me. Anyway, I have a diamond!!!!

Thanks Mara, I love that it has that little bowtie effect (I''m sure it''s a no-no), but I like it.

Very excited.. It''s a .70 carat, F SI1 blah blah blah..

Yay!

YAY!!! And now, a different kind of waiting begins....

CONGRATS!

 

[AmberWaves]

It''s bad enough waiting for the setting to get to WF, not just the wait to get it home, then wait to get it on my hand.. Last night my boyfriend asked, "Aren''t you excited since you''re going to have a ring to wear to Christine''s wedding?" In April. I was like, YES!!!

 

[GGLW]

OMG Amber, that is so exciting! Your stone is beautiful! I don''t know a ton about radiants, but just based on the photo yours looks amazing! I know how hard it was for you to find your perfect stone, so this must be so thrilling for you.

Plus the news about having a ring to wear at your friend''s wedding in April is great too! It is always nice to be able to show it off at a wedding, especially because weddings get everyone asking if you are getting married soon as well.

I have a wedding to attend in April as well, but sadly I don''t think I''ll have my ring my then...my guess is sometime around May or June. But who knows??? I''ll have to live vicariously through you and your ring!

Anyway, congrats!!!!

WOOHOO Amber!!!

After all that anxiety, your ring will SOON be ready!! And your boyfriend TOLD you you''ll be engaged in APRIL!!

That''s fantastic!! I''m so excited for you, it''s amazing!

I absolutely adore your radiant. It''s absolutely gorgeous, and I can''t wait to see handshots of that fabulous ring!

 

[sunkist]

Yay Amber!!!!!!!

Your stone looks GORGEOUS! Congratulations! I can''t wait to see your final ring, the thin band is going to make this stone look amazing. The stone looks like it''s rectanglish shaped. Which way are you having it set?

 

[AmberWaves]

Sunkist, I would like it North South, and not east west. Ron at WF said he''ll let me know when the setting gets there, but should I tell him that''s how I want it? Crud.

And thanks, everyone! Yeah, Anchor, after all the stress (From December? WOW!) of the car accident my BF got into, and the loss of the ring fund (moment of silence

...), plus everything else.. it''s finally the end.

Or near the end. Now I get to sit and wait (im)patiently until the time comes to get to wear it!!!!!!!

Amber,
How exciting! What a beautiful stone you picked!! I''m excited to see the final product, for my own reference

, as well as to admire your fabulous ring.
Also very exciting that you''ve only got about a month to go. Yay!

Sorry to hear about the difficult process you have gone through but so glad it''s working itself out.

 

[AmberWaves]

Girls, when I get it, I''m taking pictures of it right away. Even if my BF takes it from me. I told him last night I have to get my nails done first, so then I can take great pictures!! He just shook his head and laughed. What, it''s a weird request?

 

[Caribou]

WOHOO!!!!!

Very pretty!!!!!
