I wanted to share my new sparkly! I have wanted an chunky, lower color, OMC for about as long for several years now and last weekend I stumbled upon the makings of a great deal on ebay. The seller was just someone selling some things they didn't want anymore and the photo wasn't super clear, I asked about inclusions or any flaw that could be seen with the naked eye and was told there were none. So I bid and won. Next to how gorgeous this stone turned out to be the best thing about it was the price... I won this little gem for $305.00!

I was a little nervous this week waiting for it to arrive, but once I opened up the package my apprehensions quickly died away. Inside was a wonderful, sparkly diamond. When I turned it over I was surprised to see how dirty the back was, it looked as though it had been taken out of a ring that hadn't cleaned in years (or decades) but even through the gunk it sparkled. When I cleaned it with some dish soap and water it really came to life. This is hands down one of the best purchases I have made :appl:

Thank you everyone! Sorry for the delay in response, its been a hectic few days. I am not 100% sure what I want to do with it, probably a simple four prong or bezel necklace in the near future but long term I would love to do smaller version of this ring with demantoid and diamond halo.

Amys Bling I havent set it yet, I am a bit of a stone junkie and horrible at saving for settings... but at some point it will get done :)

sapphirering- thank you, I really love it, I was looking for something like this for a few years!
