I agree with jcent, turks and flash.

although 1000 is a lot of money, if its going to cost those figures to modify it, go for an SK, and get what your heart desires, and it will be completely yours.

Oh, I would be all over him! No jewelry needed...

Of course, sparklies are always a nice bonus...

first of all hubba hubba, hes a hottie, and a jeweler to boot!! how dreamy!!! hehe

and second its very sweet of him to be willing to work on the ring, but imho pay the extra 1k to have it made for your stone and in your size

hahahahaha

What is the name of this Adonis with the "come hither" eyes? He could turn me into a peeping Thomasina.

As magnificent as he undoubtedly is; I have to be honest and say that I would take that tray of sparklies and run.

eleanor uve got me laughing out loud

I like that SK one too, although the asschers give a very different look than the frenchies.

I'd go custom from scratch. $1000 isn't much in the grand scheme of things to get perfection vs modifications.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that Leon junk. I almost want to call him and ask about modifying one of his pieces just so I can tell him what an a$$ he is! I'm angry for you!

I'm not a hard core grudge holder but I don't ever forget. You can have a second chance but screw me again and you won't know what hit you!

HAHA you guys are so crazy going gaga over SK's pic!

Well--looks like the diamond deal is no more for me... bummer there...but it's for the best.

Thank you EVERYONE for all of your input, suggestions, and support during this rollercoaster of a day!

I had given up on the ring, but, now that the diamond deal is no more, I've decided I'm going to try to make the ring work. Again it's for the best, no hard feelings about the diamond.

SK is so awesome, I'm so happy he is willing to do the project, he has a customer for life in me!

But, after staring at several pics of the ring tonight, I've decided I'm not going to alter it other than size it. Just put a cushion in it.

But now I'm getting conflicting information on the ring's size. GOG told me it was a size 5, and I thought that sounded about right because I thought she was a 4.75 when she had it made, then I read on PS it was a 6. If it's a size 5, like SK said he can take it down to a 4.5 with a sizing bar. That wasn't going to work out, so I was going to ask him to push it to atleast a 4 3/8 with sizing beads, whatever is possible though I'll deal with it. But a 6 I don't think can work out.

I have an e-mail in to GOG and waiting for the response. If it's a size 5 I'm getting it, if not, I'm going to have to let this fishy go.

I had to run in and say...he is a DOLL!!
What a cutie patootie!!
