Bees!
I am officially a waiting bee!!!
It arrived a while ago (and I was allowed a bit of time with it before it was whisked away so of course first photo shoot!!) it’s sooo Super sparkly I am in love with it, but really no idea when I will see it again! I helped SO out with the picking of it (we bought online which was initially pretty scary) but it came good in the end 🙂
Obligatory shot on my (winter beaten) hand!! my ring finger is around the M-N size (UK) which I believe is 6.5-7 US ( basically shrek apparently-you bees seem to have tiny little fingers with all this 4.5 chat!!)
SO is going it alone now with the setting. I pretty much told him exactly what I wanted but he said he thought it was too simple (solitaire with pave diamonds in shank) so I really don’t know how it’ll turn out, but I guess I could always have it re-set! Haha joke 🙂
I know from my snooping of the boards during my ‘research’ phase that there are quite a few bees out there with yellows too! I love them all 🙂 feel free to post again at will!!
also anyone got any tips about how to actually photograph a diamond? I had a hell of a time trying to get the thing to NOT sparkle and then it just looked dull!! Haha
Happy to be on board 🙂

That’s so exciting! I’m sure whatever he picks out you will absolutely adore… Maybe he’s even being sneaky and he’s going to give you exactly what you like! Either way try not to stress too much while waiting! You can always PM me if you need to! Congrats again 🙂

@kendra389: haha I know! In the back of my mind I’m secretly hoping that but trying not to fixate on it just incase…! He has good taste so do I trust him to make it look amazing 🙂
I know I will have it this year (2013) but no idea when!!! loving the bee to take my mind off the wait 🙂

@EmilyJoy: thank you!! Its a lot more beautiful in person but I just couldn’t get the photo to depict that!! I cant wait to see it again 🙂
He’s been dragging his feet for a while now so I don’t underestimate his ability to put things off but I’m feeling positive that he won’t make me wait until December31st at least!!
