Longtime lurker here :wavey: , was wondering if anyone had pictures of or (purchase)links to any antique cut diamonds (mine,euro,etc.) that were 7 carats or over. I'm fiddling around with an idea for a ring and would like to see some honkers!


Thanks!

It makes me happy to look deep into that diamond, that's for sure! :bigsmile:

But all the halo's surrounding it - they are too OTT for me. It's perfect for the right person somewhere. :halo:

The stone is gorgeous but the setting is insane, and not in a good way.

We did have one member who lived in India I believe who had a 9 carat H OEC. I have no idea how to find their post though, I've tried before.

Oh LOOK!

It also comes with a clock that's correct twice a day.
Or, maybe it's a calendar that's correct once a year.

you could try browsing Lang Antiques-sometimes they have large stones.

That thing is huge. :-o Love seeing diamonds of all sizes but some look better to wear than others.

Agreed. I think to depends on the quality of the diamond(who wants a huge chunk of dull diamond with carbon spots?) and finger size. For example, I am getting a 3.62 ct oec...but I also have chunky size 8.5 finger, so my ring will look similar to a lot of 1.5-2 cts on all the gorgeous tiny fingers on PS.

I think that is a great size for a larger old cut, armywife. We've seen some beautiful examples such as Brightice's new beauty and yenny's, Zahra's, etc.

Thank DS. I can't wait to get my hands on the diamond...only a few months yet! Then I will have something to take up the enormous real estate on my finger. Lol.

People with diamonds that big should automatically receive amazing cameras with those diamonds so they can share their bling a little better.

Enerchi - That's not it,but good lord look at the spread of that sucker! :o

kenny - This comment almost made me wet myself (Perhaps it's the date from when the original owner lost use of their ring finger due to the spread of the ring-or a chronological timeline of how many fingers they retained while wearing it) :lol: :D

slg47 - I have (and boy are there some lovelies!), but as always, I'm still looking *sigh*...

DandiAndi - My goodness, what a beaut of a rock!! :love:
