just looking......

Ok I did it...I told Niki about 1st Quarter 2010 and we both got so excited that she decided to take me browsing for rings....I was hesitant at first. After  years of wondering when I was going to find "the one" I would never partake in this type of activity. But finally, I accepted and boy I'm sure glad I did. We started our journey off at Tiffany's. The mecca of diamonds and that gorgeous little blue box. It was a lovely experience and I was able to try on several rings.I had no idea what I was looking for but i started with some basic styles: Solitaire, Cushion cut, Princess cut, legacy, etc. There are so many I couldn't keep track. Niki said it was important to try on a ring that was too big for my hand just so that I could see what would fit me perfectly. After Tiffany, we moved onto Michael C Fina. We found a Stu Schwartz look a like and he started to show us different rings. I began to find that while I love the solitaire shape, my heart belongs to a ring with a "halo." This gives the appearance of a square shape but it has either a round or square shaped diamond within. The next day we ventured out to Cartier and Harry Winston. Yes, I said Harry Winston. Obviously, I'm not getting a Harry Winston ring, but its ok to look and its not harming anyone so just calm down out there. Ever since we went to Michael C Fina, I have been dreaming about this ring.

It has everything I have ever wanted and the setting is just divine. It has small diamonds all around it and has the halo that I'm looking for. It's just me. Unlike the other stores, Michael C Fina didn't have different carat sizes, so I was teased by the 2.5 carat ring that they had on display. This ring is so gorgeous that I seriously don't care what size it comes in, I just want to stare at it all day long....In the end, it was just for fun. Niki and I had such a good time and after all, we were just looking.........
