Hi everyone,
I was wondering what people hope to acquire. Doesn't have to be any time soon... just some time. For me, I have 2 things that I hope (plan) on getting over the next several years. I want a baby sister version of DJ's e-ring with either a FLY or FY radiant. I also want a white asscher... not sure how to set it yet...

Of course, my are always changing but at this point, these are serious enough to go from dreaming about to planning...

I plan to aquire a wedding band pretty gosh darn soon!  I really need to start thinking about it, so ideas are welcome

I have nothing new planned now that I decided to go for that cushion, but I do have 2 at the shop - my RB being set with a halo and my new faint brown cushion being set with baguettes. 

I was planning to upgrade my FBY, but I really do love it, so I may hold off.  If I decide to stick with it and David starts making those bands in different colors, I may get a FBY one. 

I also would love to find a necklace, but I am so finicky with them that I tend not to spend a lot of money on them, as I get bored of them quickly.  Necklaces are the only piece of jewelry I tend to buy fakes of, as I know that I will not wear them long. 

It is sort of funny because I think that trills are my favorite side stones, but I don't own any now!  My first yellow diamond was cushion (not from DBL) the same shape as my new one with trills and I loved it, but sold it when my husband and I were buying a home. 

I thought about trills for the new cushion, but a) I think if they are too white next to the faint brown it would look bad and b) it is an expensive setting for an inexpensive stone.  I am actually considering resetting my FBY cushion E/W with trills, but not sure if it is worth it.

Okay, no-one tell my DH about this thread.....!! 

Here's my plans for 2007

1.  Complete remount of pear shape
2.  Upgrade cushion pendant
3.  Start saving for final ER upgrade in 2 years (or so)

Other than that, I am going to TRY to be a good girl - not that David will make it easy......

oooops!  Should've added a big THANK YOU to tea for adding the pics of my ring!  I remember how you have been smitten with every ring in that style and I hope your wish comes true - soon!

You're very welcome DJ! I do so still love that style. I "visit" your ring (or the pics I saved on my computer)) every so often. It'll be a while until I can even THINK of getting another major purchase. I'm on "good behavior" since I just got my ring... I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys... and save....

I can tell being a member of this community is bad for one's net worth.  You guys egg each other on, in a very sweet way, of course.  Jewelry co-dependents!  I am kind of hoping to stay strong and not order anything before I get the pair of earrings I just ordered, lol!

So, my asscher earrings are 1.44 tcw - the stones are still up on DBL - #R1281.  I asked David to hang them on french back wires because I don't like to wear studs (wires are more comfortable to me).  I asked David to put a halo around them with no space between the halo and asscher.  The border will have diamonds on the sides (sides were his suggestion).  Then I asked him to cover the wire from the top of where it goes into the ear to the top of the border with pave (my suggestion).  After I get them, I may decide to hang a briolette from the bottom, but I'll have to see if that's overkill.  So I have no idea what the tcw will be after completion - we'll have to ask David.

Can I ask you another question, but this is probably not the right place to ask it?  Since I'm such a newbie here, I am having a hard time with the acronyms and terms you all use.  Is there a place where I can learn them or should I just ask if I cannot figure them out?  If I read, most of the time I can figure it out, but not always.   For example:  DH.  I get that the H means husband, but the D?  Dear, Darling, Devastating, Designated?  What do you call him if he's not being a "D"?   

Cheers!
Michi

Ask away Michi!  I realize we have gotten used to using abbreviations.  In fact, this may be worthy of it's own thread.........I'll start one!

The earrings sound FABULOUS!  Absolutely can't wait to see them all done!  I'll add the 1.44cttw to your total in the owners thread and you can update us on the total later.

Wow Michi - those earrings sound amazing!  I can't wait to see them.

Those earrings are going to be spectacular Michi!  Not only did you get the asschers but it sounds like you are really doing them up to the max!
Are you have the corners set North-South/EAST-west?    For some reason, I imagine that in my head..................but if not,  I don't want to add to your confustion!!    They are going to be some really amazing sparklers.  You must post ear shots when they are done.     DH is for Dear Husband...but when your mad it him, it may stand for  Dumb, Dork, Dic*h^%d...you fill in the blank.....   LOL!!    ~Ronda

Hi Snooper. Take a look at reply no. 3....... Time does fly......

Oh I didn't see that. Thats so funny Jewellk. This is a dangerous place to be for sure. I got all sorts of plans. Now I am waiting for David to come up a "special something". That drives us all nuts....in a good way...
