Whoa...is me...Whoa...

[LE]

DKS, I''m so sorry! There is a funny reason that the ring disappeared, though.

My now-fiance and I both spoke with Leon about the design, but the final product (and timing of the proposal) was to be a surprise for me. Before Leon sent the ring to my fiance, he immediately posted it on his website. Well, I always, ALWAYS browse Leon''s website for future RHR''s, earrings, etc. I found the pic of the ring on the website (not knowing it was mine) and told my then-BF that I had found my dream ring on Leon''s website. I honestly figured that I would get the typical Leon solitaire with a cathedral shank instead of the flat shank like I originally wanted. The next day, I went to Leon''s website to look for the ring and it was gone. After I told then-BF about the ring, fiance had called Leon to ask him to remove the pics until after the proposal.

The whole situation was a little more complicated. I didn''t think to look at the caption under the pic to see the size of the stone because I was in a hurry that day. When talking to fiance about it, I casually remarked that I thought the stone looked smaller than mine... maybe .75 ct. and that the prongs looked bigger than I would like. This made fiance VERY nervous, but I love the ring. I''m so happy and flattered that you love it, too!

Am I the only donkey that can''t find that thread

I kinda felt sick when I figured it out though, you would just have to kill him though lol. But seriously, maybe some things were meant to be and it''s the universe telling you that the perfect stone is still yet to be found! I hope it finds you soon.

Honey22 -- Here''s the link to DKS''s story post ....

 

[BlingItOn]

I've just joined PS recently and after going through this thread of yours, I went back to search for your old thread.

I think you are an admirable, AMAZING lady for handling your loss the way you did. I felt my stomach sink when I came to the end of your story, and I highly doubt I'd be able to climb of out the pit I'd have created for myself if I was placed in the same predicament.
Your thread did shed some light as to how much I still have to learn when it came to overcoming grievances that life sometimes throws at one, and it also helped illustrate the sort of kindness that many PSers here were so generous to share, which made me feel very heartwarming indeed!

And as requested......

 

[Gypsy]

Hi honey,

Just wanted to say...

 

[honey22]

Thanks sparkalicious - reading that was like a bad card accident, you don''t want to watch but you can''t stop yourself.

DKS - I am floored, speachless, stunned. I must say though, that post had the "hysterical humour just before going off the deepend" kind of tone. You poor poor thing.

I have to add, although he lost what was probably the most precious possession you could have trusted him with and he couldn''t locate it(kids aside), I bet he knew exactly where the TV remote control was in the aftermath! Men - you can''t live with them, and you can''t bury them

ETA: I authored this before lunch just submitted it and see now that there have been many other posts. Oops.

Honey...if you have the interest and a WHOLE lot of time you can go here and read the post The Whopper Story. Pack a lunch...it is lengthy. The top post has the details in a nutshell...a really big nut shell. I tend to yack too much.

Crown Jewel..too funny...that was me as I was writing it!!

LE...NO WAY! GET OUT!!!! You mean you saw the ring come and go too? And it WAS YOUR RING? That is too cool! Your fella must have freaked...that is too funny. So how do the prongs look in relation to real scale on your hand? I know you said you love them. But how did it change? I mean is it a drastic size difference than you thought in that huge photo? Please tell your fella that not only did seeing the ring mess you up...but it sent me in frizzy. Arghhhh! I should have just called Leon's office and asked the size of the stone...like fingerprints they are all different. But part of me wanted not to know. I was convinced it WAS MY HUBBY that had it removed from the site...never would I have imagined it was YOURS!! I love that we share that ring disappearing anguish. We are twins in that respect. Only you walked away with the prize...poor me!

Ellen your sincerity didn't get lost in scale. Honest. It is obvious that Kim just loves me more. Ha ha. Just kidding. §

 

[door knob solitaire]

Bling...wow you sure spent some time sending me a whole slew of smiles. Thanks. Your kind words are most appreciated. I really don''t deserve the honor or respect. Sometimes you have to make some lemonaide when you are thirsty. That isn''t the way the quote goes...but you get my intention.

Hi Gyp! Thanks sweetie. That is one great smiley. Reminds me of that old follow the bouncing ball thing they used to do at the theaters...I think that was where it was. Anyway, it was fun, thanks. I heart you!

Now lets all enjoy LE''s new ring. I hate to take all the spotlight from her. Leave it to me to make it ALL ABOUT ME!!! Marsha Marsha Marsha!!!

 

[snlee]

DKS, I''m sorry about your dissapointment. I hope you get the ring of your dreams soon!

 

[nebe]

I give you... the rolling panda, to ease your suffering, of course.

I couldn''t feel worse if the same thing had happened to me, DKS. Like a couple of others, I had hoped beyond hope that Leon had gifted the ring to you

.

The only things that made me smile at all were all the happy faces, big and small, showing how much we feel your pain. The rolling panda that nebe sent made me chuckle out loud; I hope it makes you giggle too.

Since I''m no genius with all these cuties others have posted, I''ll send send a few more easy ones and wish with all my heart that a big beautiful diamond ring is in your near future.

See how smart DKS is, Ellen! She knows you mean well, you just can''t compete with me.

I lost my diamond/saphire wedding band about 7 years ago and I STILL have dreams that I''m searching for it or have found it! I can understand.

Oh boy, just read your old thread...I''M SO SORRY!

I hope this virtual balloon bouquet makes you feel better!

 

[door knob solitaire]

Ellen and Kim...stop your bickering! Ellen tisk tisk tisk...a hammer? Shame on you! That is it! You two need to be separated! I don''t care who started it!

Snlee thanks for your concern. But isn''t LE a happy girl? Nebe thanks for the darling panda. He is smile making for sure! Sorry to get you in the madness design chica. Isabel...the masters'' bench will get my project one day. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Thanks butter bean---I stand in agreement with you!! MOtown...I am so sorry about your loss. 7 years...ouch. Some things really stick/sting don''t they? I hope your dream finally ends on a happy note someday. Angel7...thanks for the balloon bouquet. I just saw a piece on the scarcity of helium. Macy''s parade actually had to recapture the helium as it is so expensive now. The balloon bouquet industry is going to be squashed as the price will be unbelievable. Who knew? So I will enjoy that bouquet...odds are I won''t get another real one! Thanks gang!!

Oh man. I just read your original post about your lost diamond. *Sick to my stomach for you*. But everything happens for a reason. Not sure what that reason was in this case but it will all work out in the end.
