Hi... ..
     I'm glad to finally find you guys...I know some of you from another forum..so nice to be here..all of you have been missed! I haven't been around in a while as we moved into a new home and been in and out of the hospital because of health issues.

    Anywhoo I hope to catch up with you all and share some of my new sparklies and hopefully  David and webmistress can help one of my sparklie dreams come true soon too... a heart diamond with two ruby pear sides in an antique or halo setting! Can't wait!! I just need to save save save! Oh and convience DH this is an investment ....lol 

Take care,
   Bila

LOL well I have started a diamond savings fund and depending on what David can get me and what price range I am thinking around the fall at this point unless I can convince my DH otherwise lol. Oh and I'm also planning on selling some jewelry I have not worn in over 5 yrs its just been sitting in my jewelry box. Loose gem stones too..I'm a gem stone nut too! LOL. Hopefully that will increase my diamond fund..

  Like Tea and so many others on this forum we just got a fixer of a house so some funds are caught up there too! Its a money pit really but its worth it! The house is only 10 yrs old but in pretty icky shape. The previous owners did not take good care of it so we just finshed replacing 2 large appliances and we have two more to go! Plus we have to redo the floor.

So basically I am  for a miracle!! SO I can get it sooner.  I'm hoping hubby will get a big bonus again this fall so I can go sparkly shopping. lol

I love love love your new cushion cut! SO SO SO sparkly!!

Bila

Hi bila!  Welcome to CDI!   

Hellloooooo back to you and WElcome!  I have no doubt that David will fulfill whatever you decide to do.   Have you seen some of the new heart shaped diamonds that he has just aquired?    Great prices too!   Also,  when you mentioned your dream ring, the first person I thought of was Foxy.   She just purchased another heart shaped diamond from David too and is having a gorgeous pink ring made.  Sure hope the DH will let you fulfill your wishes!!~Ronda

Hi Bila and welcome!  Your dream  sounds lovely and I'm sure David can help make it a reality! 

 

We love to help you find the ring of your dreams. Glad you found us!

Hi ya'll thanks so much for the  warm welcome!

CH: Yes I noticed...2 weeks wow..eek I can only dream that it may become a reality!! HEEHE..Of course we do have to get our taxes done and turned in so maybe with direct deposit....I just might be able to do it....heeh 

Anne1 and LJ: Yeap you girls hit it on the head!!  HEHE its going to be similar to Foxy's ring. My ultimate dream would be to get a 1.5-2.0 ct colorless or near colorless diamond with ruby sides with antique engraving..maybe a few diamonds about 3-5 melee going down each side and a surprise diamond on each side in the gallery of the ring. Ok now reality....lol. A heart shaped diamond from .5-1.25 in any color that is the most affordable for my budget so I can get the most for my money as long as it is very well cut and sparkles like crazy. TO keep cost down i would like a simple setting with ruby pear sides is possible in white gold or to optimize size I may just go with the simple 151.00 antique setting. It all depends on whats available.  And yes I have seen the fabulous new heart shaped diamonds David has come out with and I am floored and mind boggled..I want them ALL...lol.  


Tea: defiantly....I'll see if I can grab one of our digital camera to take a few pics of our kitchen in its current state...chaos..lol. And of course a few design ideas to bounce off you guys. 

You know, my husband made me direct deposit our tax refund into his account...now I wonder why he did that?!!!

Tea: yes I know he has an awesome upgrade policy, its one of the reasons why I choose him. Right now I am looking at the 1.0 VS U-V light yellow heart or G I1 1.16 heart. I would Love love love a cognac brown heart too...lol. But all of this weighs on how much we are getting back on taxes. And of course the house stuff we need to get a new water heater and dishwasher for the kitchen. So at this point it looks like the U-V heart would be the best value for the money but I have never seen a u-v heart and I don't know what it will look like in different lights. 

CH: when you do direct deposit for your tax refund you get your money back faster! Usually within two to three weeks from filing. Verses traditional paper filing takes about 6-8 weeks when you file in March. 

Diamondluvr: yeah....we cashed out some stock last year to finance some baby purchases, I'm hoping they won't tax us too much for it. It was only 1k, but who knows how much its going to be. I feel your pain! I hate it when the money for sparklies get spent on other things. 

Sam..

   Well I found the heart on the dbl site after some searching and it says no flour here's the link: http://rockdiamond.c...p;action=show_detail. I was hoping for a soft white like j k l or m. I have found some pictures of light yellow diamonds and I have found them fascinating. So i am not sure what to think or expect I guess I should try to find someone in WA who carries light yellow diamonds?? I just want to know what it will look like in natural light.

Hi Bila!  I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!  You ring idea sounds fabulous!!!

Thanks for the pic Sam it defiantly gives me a good idea about what to think...Oh..if you're free next week or the week after I will be in the DC area visiting my folks and it would be cool to meet you for lunch or something. Let me know if you are open to that. Plus I'd love to see some of your DBL pieces especially the u-v RHR in person!

KK: thanks hon...I hope so! I've wanted a heart diamond for about four years so...I think its time!

CH: yeap its the same one you bought and changed your mind about. I'm boggled though cuz it shows upon David database app as available but on the website its not?? I guess I should call him to find out.  I have naturally tan skin...so...I'm not surehow it the u-v would look on me...lol

I'll send her a message CH.
