you're very welcome!  enjoy her!

Wear her in good health

Thanks for the compliments.
 
Eve IS a beautiful ring, but look at how she fades right into my skin; nothing special about that.

I went to dinner with two girlfriends Friday night; neither noticed my ring.  Sunday, I went to breakfast with three other girlfriends and no one noticed the ring.   Eventhough these ladies know that I am a jewelry junkie and check out my jewelry on a regular basis, not a single one noticed this ring.  And the breakfast group was together from 10 AM until 3:00PM!  During both occasions, I wore it on my right hand, I am right handed, and I 'talk with my hands'.  I even wore pink gold earrings and a pink gold heart with diamonds on a pink gold chain.  So how could Eve not be noticed? 
 
Beautiful Eve is is returning to the folds of DBL.  I appreciate the opportunity to see the pink gold and DBL's fantastic quality work.  I do plan to own a halo, but it will be white gold.

If I buy a ring with larger stones like Trinkette's Glarkler that would cover the top of my finger and have two browns on the side, then I would consider using pink gold.  I will use pink gold for the heads to set the browns I just purchased, but the bail on the pendant and the shank of the ring will be white gold.

Thanks for everyone's input; you certainly gave me plenty to think about.

Don't worry; somebody will.  It's just a preference issue as to whether you like the metal and the stone to stand out, or just the stone.  Myself, I would prefer the metal to take a back seat.  Nothing wrong with either preference!  After all, we don't all want to wear the same style of ring.  Variety is good!

Eve is a beautiful diamond and I too am sure that she will find a great home!

Yay Sparkly! I am glad that you were able to try out DBL pink gold and figure out what you like!

Now I will wait patiently for your set of browns to leave the factory...

  I want pictures!

 

Actually, this was a very positive experience. 
My friends' reactions confirmed that pink gold is not the best choice for me.
I had the opportunity to inspect the  exacting and precision setting of DBL jewelers.
I had the opportunity to wear the Legacy Halo and to determine if that style worked for me.
I had fun looking at a multiple personality diamond; wish I could have a diamond that was the light/medium green seen under fluorescent lighting.  I wish I could convince David to pull the diamond and reset it into a pink bezel white gold halo.

The two downside issues are returning a new sparkly    and going to UPS.  Giving strangers a valuable item gives me the hee-bee-jeebies.

I know how you feel OCD.  I had a pink gold ring and it literally blended totally into my skin.  It was like I wasn't even wearing anything.  My partner at work put it on and it looked like $1Million bucks. 

Wow, that's quite some change of heart!  Is it the whole ring that's obvious now, or just the center?

I've really got to get my nails done!

lol, good news indeed!

Here you are.  Somehow the contrast makes the ring become dimensional; the halo and diamond become very obvious.

The polish looks a lot more orangy in the sunlight.

I think the last two shots best represent what I see.  Weird. yes.

David, I have much greater appreciation for your photos.

Thanks WM.

The real reason that I still have Eve is because of UPS.  I checked with 4 UPS Stores requesting the boxes that David uses to ship our jewelry; no luck.  So, I went to the UPS Distribution Center thinking certainly they would have everything I needed.  WRONG!  And they wanted to charge me $95.67 to ship the ring overnight and deliver by 4:30PM.

I returned home with the sealed boxes, 12" X 12" X12", and emailed David.

I opened the boxes and tried on the ring one more time..... ....... I was floored.  What did I not like about this ring?!?! 

Some may say,"Well, I wouldn't want a ring that I could only wear when my nails are polished."  Remember, I am a collector; I also have a ring that I can only wear with natural nails or clear polish.  To each their own.

To prevent anyone else reading this from having such problems- here's some tips.
1) Use a new UPS shipping box. NEVER re-use a box as tampering won;t be evident if you re-seal the package. NEVER use a 1 foot square box to ship a piece of jewelry.

2) NEVER go anywhere BUT a "UPS CUSTOMER CENTER" if you are going to buy insurance to send something of value. A "UPS STORE" oddly enough, is not owned by UPS- they don't have to give you a box- and they can charge anything they want for high value insurance
To find the closest "UPS CUSTOMER CENTER" go to this page and uncheck all the boxes except, "UPS CUSTOMER CENTER".
Put your zip code in, and you'll have the closest location. The "UPS CUSTOMER CENTER" will provide the proper shipping boxes ( you can use a "Medium") and they abide by UPS high value insurance rates ( .06 per $10 value....$10k insurance cost $60)

A $2500 shipment should cost about $30.


If you don;t follow these guidelines- as we see- a $30 shipment cost can easily turn into a $100 shipment cost...
