You'd think...but what can I say...I'm told by this loooongggg Indian astrology thingy my MOM had done that I'll marry late in life and have 2 kids...just hope late in life don't mean one foot in grave and making the Guiness book for oldest woman to give birth...lol...hmmm..although I've always wanted my own Guiness book record....which makes me think we whould havea Guiness book record for longest thread ever created...think this one qulaifies...have we reached the length of the last one....lol

Available. Not cheap. Very few sources nowadays.
(Most of the stuff out there is overly treated, full of rutillation, and plain ****.)

If you're looking for traditional "Florida Priced" stone calls like this no longer apply. Am I trying to fill a hole, or balance the price of what you've already seen?

EDIT> That was a "good luck post": just sold a 2.01 ct F,SI1 RB Ideal, with (2) 6mm Natural Fancy Intense Yellow Trilliant Diamonds on the side, platinum setting $40,000 !!!!! THANK YOU, SHARON!

Re: Vasili's New Avatar

good for you General sir!! Keep those women in jewelry and the world will be a happy place!

The heat is killer!!! not sure...think we are at about 45 consecutive (sp) days at over 100 degrees and no measurable rain! it's like a slow moving earthquake---everything cracking, shifting, falling down! Even the ants are rebelling!!!!LOL

But as long as there is Corona and ice cream....there is hope! LOL

Re: Vasili's New Avatar

Too funny!

I imagine you fighting the ice cream drips on your laptop in the shade as you debate whether to count more ants or optimize yet another page.....LOL

What used to be around $1000-2000/ct retail is now around $2200-3400/ct, and pretty scarce for the good stuff.
I would be cautious about buying in Asia.....too many opportunities to be taken!

(Really nice stones -4 to choose from- about $4900 best price for the stone...and since I have my corp. offices in FL, were I to send one out youd have to pay tax...Sorry!)

Re: Vasili's New Avatar

With this post, I'll probably be promoted (whether I deserve it or not).

I have decided to let this avatar stay for a while, as testament to how were it not for VodaHost, I would have had the tools nor drive to find my way to success online.

I cannot express the simple amazement, and wholehearted gratitude I feel for the very special opportunity VodaHost has so freely provided to me and those who comprise my enterprise. As Preferred Provider to me and my companies, VodaHost remains in a singular position as the leading entity on the Web that is referred countless times as the peerless resource from which all can rely upon without fail or hestitation. I hope my peers may someday relate to this and have the chance to also be proud to relate their experiences when asked, as I have repeatedly.

Amidst the ups and downs, the laughter and gnashing of teeth, much has been accomplished in this Forum.....these many threads, and with many special individuals who truly are the VodaHOST. To those who I have had the privilege of influencing and supporting, I say go forth and continue to strive to the excellence that will constantly be redefined with every step you take! To those who have come to regard me as less than contributing (or worse), I can only offer condolances, as my intents have never been less than honorable and good-spirited. I am sorry such occasion arose to cause any discomfort or frustration, but often it is not easy to keep a pace set by others or to be always cognizant of every perspective and every nuance possible.....be at peace, and be worthy of your own efforts!

As General MacArthur (and later the famous General VodaHost) noted, old soldiers never die, they just fade away.....hopefully the attainments and ambitions I have been so fortunate to participate in will continue to be driven higher and wider, yet never so transparent as to forget those who contributed from the heart, for the benefit of all.

Carry On...
