Aw, thanks Ronda.  Yeah I'm fine.  My DH is supposed to be coming home tonight but he's been delayed.  I'm waiting up for him......and I'm dog tired!  I think I need to call his cell phone and just go to bed!

LOL!  Thanks Ace!  I really do need to go to bed - I'm beat!

Yep DJ, it's the square cushion.  I love it love it!!!

And Ronda, I just now saw a picture of those beautiful earrings!!!  Prostitution you say?  Hmmmm...amazing what lengths Davids diamonds will drive a girl to.  You know, I'm thinking we could probably take shifts....

Well, whatever gets the funds, girl!! LOL  We have to be hardcore about this!!!



Sure WebMistress didn't have that kind of "work" in mind when she posted this smiley for us to use... Did she?  Hehee!!

Yes, I forgot to comment on that! What? you sold your asscher?    Are you working on getting that cushion for sure?  See how nosy I am!   

Long story behind the story of the asscher's departure...  Had a very rocky marital period, ended up getting divorced in January... I know, I know, we'd only been married 1 1/2 years...but....  So I sold the asscher with intention of using the money to buy myself a DBL yellow.

Anywho... looks like things are on the mend.  We went out on our second 1st date a few nights ago.  So what's the first thing I do?  Well, being a true CDI infautated freak of nature, I start looking for my second ER from Kurt, "just in case".  A girl can never be too prepared, you know.  I'm sure you'll agree...

I truly loved my asscher, and went through some serious withdrawals, but found that one thing I didn't love about it was the small spread you got for even a stone that was almost 1.5 carats.  Now if I had an asscher the size of Michi's, that wouldn't be an issue. 

I've always loved jewelry that had a vintage look, and what better opportunity to try a new "flavor" of diamond???  I even showed it to my ex-DH probable future-DH last night, and he gave the seal of approval.  Guess we'll have to see how things progress.

Now see, I knew there be some advantage to going through that whole divorce mess.  Maybe that was my plan all along...      OK, so I'm kidding about that part, but if it means a new diamond.....

I think that sounds like the best plan yet!! Thanks for the kind words Tea!!

I think CH just bought this diamond... and she is setting it in a halo 

Tea, I'm glad things are on the mend.  At worst, I hope that you two become closer friends.  You have history with Kurt you know.

Hmmmm yes, BUSTED!! I knew it!! You had ulterior motives!! LOL nah... I still have your ER saved on file--I loved the simplicity of a solitaire.  It's so sad that an asscher faces up small you know? And yes, Michi's asscher would fix that problem!!!!!!

Many times those who have divorced and then remarried the same person realize how important they are to each other. Glad to hear that you two decided to give it one more try.  I sure hope that the second time around for you and Kurt will last forever!   I think a diamond double the size of your asscher is appropriate.   3 carats!    ..........Just kidding......... Yes, David is turning out some incredible Cushion cuts................I think you will find something that will be perfect for the second time around.

Awww...Pandora, I'm sorry about you going through the divorce, but am glad to hear that things are on the mend.  My DH and I actually have been through what y'all are going through.  Long story short: We were married for 10 years, got divorced for 6 years, and have been re-married for 7 years.  And, you should know that you aren't the only one who gets new diamonds on these occasions.  In our case, what luvnjewelry said is true...we appreciate each other much more this time around.  I wish only the best for you two.

Thank you, Amy.   

Hi Farside,

Thank you for the suggestion.  I really like that setting alot! 

I'm actually hoping to change the setting before the end of the year and this one is definitely at the top of my list.  I'll have to save a little more $$ first though.
