my new diamond!

[kcoursolle]

Hi all, we recently purchased the diamond that will be in my e-ring eventually. Unfortunately, my digital camara is not getting good close up pictures. They are all blury. However, I will try to update this with pictures once I have my setting. I purchased a signature radiant from Dirt Cheap Diamonds. The percentages

are a little off from ideal, but Josh assured me that I would be happy with the diamond and he was right! I would definitely recommend purchasing them and especially their signature series. It is gorgeous and has no brilliancy issues what so ever! I can''t stop staring at it. Dirt Cheap Diamonds was also great to work with, very friendly and knowledgeable...so thanks Josh and the group!

My only small gripe is that if you decide to go with their custom design services there is little feedback or viewing before purchase, but he was honest about this and I''ll probably design something from a local vendor out here in LA. Anyone have any suggestions for someone that is good and reasonably priced out here? I am taking the diamond to an appraiser next week and I will let you know what he says then.

Here are the specs:

.74 carat
Rectangular Modified Brilliant (Radiant unbranded)
6.25 * 4.97 * 2.97
Color F
Clarity VVS2
Polish VG/ Symmetry VG
Depth 59.8
Table 65%
Girdle Thin to Med.
Culet None
Flour. None

Congraulations!!! I don't know anyone out there, maybe cause im on the other side of the country

But you sound thrilled about your new E-ring and it sounds awesome

I am definitely thrilled with my future e-ring! I love the diamond. It''s petite, but it looks supurb...and on my small fingers I think it will look large enough. I posted my blury pics. To give you a reference on size, my fingers are a 4.5. You can''t see the diamond that well, but you can tell that it sparkles.

Oh yeah! I can picture it perfectly because I just got a .77 ct. myself, and i can see how brilliant it is too--its a stunner

is your .77 carat also a radiant? I debated what shape to get for a long time, but I think that radiants are lovely and unique.
