My experience thus far

[Mara]

I believe their little picture of the diamond is 10x and then if you Zoom it's 40x mag or something like that.

Do not rule out a stone based upon the 10x or 40x mag...my SI2 had visible inclusions in the 40x mag but it's 99.9999% eye clean and I can only ever pick out the small black spec at the right angle which is almost never.

Definitely taught me a thing or two...in the past I'd only consider extra clean looking mags but those mags really do blow up the inclusions which are miniscule in person for the most part!

--Still lovin' that 1.27 H with med blue fluor!!

mrssalvo, if ya want it, put it on HOLD!!!

i always tell people to put a diamond on hold if you are considering it (vendors usually will for a day or two)...otherwise you just never know! esp around here with all the diamond nuts like us.

OHMIGOSH -- that 1.27 w/ the med flourescence looks GORGEOUS! SOMEBODY-- ANYBODY!

GIVE IT A HAPPY HOME, PLEASE! Cause if you don't, I might have to -- and I don't need it and can't afford it right now, either!!!

But oh man, it looks like SUCH a killer!

Also, my 2 cents regarding # of prongs. I'm with Mara there, too. I LOVE 4 prongs on RBs. (On all sizes of stones. Period!)

I downloaded them from the Robbins Bros. Website. I don''t have the SKU numbers anymore, but if you go to "Engagement Rings" and then to Search, you''ll see parameters...I chose the pull-down menus:

Round
Platinum
Unique

And there''s about 72 pages wrth of selection! It''ll be somewhere in the middle pages...

Hehehe - give *me* his email address and I''ll email him for ya!

Seriously, wouldn''t worry about the inclusions on this one. As mara noted, the front page pic is 10x mag. Now hold your hand up to your computer screen and look how ENORMOUS that is compared to your hand. Now imagine that diamond shrunk down to fit your finger. You''d likely NEVER see the inclusions.

Again, WF can vouch for its eyecleanliness or not, but I''d consider that stone a *primary* contender.
