My Grail arrived today,… the unveiling !!!

Just taken delivery & savouring the moment as I’ve waited oh so long for it to materialise.
I feel like the cat that got the cream

Many thanks to Andrea Auxilia for your great emails & a silky smooth transaction

Here’s the pics to share with you guys,
hope you enjoy

The lighting is tricky, is it yellow gold or white gold?
