My yellow is ready to ship!

I´m begging David for a few pictures before she leaves, so I hope to post some soon.    This might be a bit of a wait but as soon as she´s on my hand i´ll post some pics!

I´m so very excited! This is my first DBL ring!  (My first FCD, my first split shank, my first double bezel...)

Yay!!

That's so exciting PtyMom... I can't wait to hear how much you like it!  

How long until you get to see the beauty in person?

This is a a beauty!
I love how she came out.

That has to be the sleekest-looking ring I have ever seen!  Bravo!!

Well, that's a very cool ring!!!  You will love wearing it PtyMom... Wear her in good health!  
  Now waiting for this beauty will not be easy...so try to keep busy, but remember, we'll be waiting for your pictures... 

Thanks guys!! Camera is charged and ready to go.

.... and now I wait....

 

I thought the wait would be easier with a few pics to keep me company... NOT.

This is sooooo exciting!!! 

I´m prepping myself for the full 7 days. Although I do have a plan in place....
First there´s a lot of air travel. Then when the package arrives in Panama it sits in the Customs Office until the customs officials are off their coffee and emapanada break which can occur between 2 and 3 times a day and last up to an hour. I´m not even joking here. Customs only works weekdays, about 9 to 3pm...
When the cargo is eventually released, Fedex loads the parcels into its truck and drives them around the city for 3 days in a row. Not delivering, mind you, but pretending they showed up to deliver and claiming you either weren´t there or didint´have the customs fees that were owed... then they call you to tell you it´s up to you to retrieve the parcel at their offices because "they tried" and failed to deliver. SOOOOO.... this time as soon as the cargo is released from Customs I´m calling in to put a hold on it at their storage facility that way I can drive over in a jifffy and get my RING!! I figure atleast I´ll save myself the grief of having to talk to everyone and their mother each time they claim to come by and really don´t.
Mango Country, -I tell you. You have to love it here to live here.

Thanks lovecolor, I´m really excited about this one... and honestly, I don´t know what I´m going to do with all my other RHR! I see a lot of dust collection in the future. I get the feeling this one´s going to be in rotation for years to come!!

Isn´t it?? i just looooove the look of metal. -I love halos and melees and all that, but yellow gold makes me drool  

Oh you are so smart to try to intercept the package.  I hope that means you can get it a few days earlier.  I know it will be worth the wait though.  That ring is sooo pretty.  I love that you already have it as your avatar

It seems I´m going to have to wait a bit longer to see my yellow beauty in person. 
The logistics of getting high value stuff shipped to Panama are kind of a nightmare. I checked the packing slips for a piece I imported last year and the duties for that were about 23%. When I called to enquire with the cargo agency my company uses, my contact there told me gold was being processed separately and I could be looking at 43% taxes!!!!! I almost had a little heart attack.
Long story short, I´m having the ring shipped to my room mate from college and she´s bringing it with her next time she´s in town on business. That should be before the end of the month.
So I wait. But atleast I know my pretty travels safely and I won´t have to bite a quadriple digit bullet. Sometimes I think they make the taxes so high so that people will abandon their merchandise rather than pay the taxes on it. I remember eons ago my Mom sent out laptop to the states for a repair. When it was sent back to her, the taxes on it were so high that buying a new one was a better deal.

SIgh. I´ll post pictures before Halloween I hope!!

Awww such a shame that you will have to wait so long  I know she will definitely be worth the wait though!!!
