Not for the squeamish at heart! My semi upgrade!

I traded in my 2.20 mrb K VS2 very good cut for a 2.20 K SI with an excellent cut. I should know better than to buy a diamond without a certificate, and I took a leap of faith. Last week, I stopped by my jeweler because I had been contemplating an upgrade in terms of color and cut. He happened to have one that he was about to certify, (and will still certify for me when I'm ready to part with it), and being the impulsive jewelry addict that I am, I couldn't resist. The price hit my sweet spot, and I have spent all week scrutinizing this baby in every possible light. Today, I finally decided that it was a keeper, so I'd like to share it with you all. I realize that I didn't upgrade the color (hence the semi upgrade) but I am OK with that now.

Here's a picture next to a cocktail ring that I was contemplating.

That first picture took my breath away!!! Your new diamond looks very white and well cut. The setting you chose is so pretty and really shows off this gorgeous stone. You don't have to be squeamish on Pricescope and there is nothing "semi" about this lovely upgrade if it makes you happy.

nala,
You new diamond is gorgeous! I love the setting also. This ring really faces up white for a K diamond so its an excellent cut!
Can you tell me if this diamond has flourescence? I looked at a diamond last week that was a K diamond triple excellent and has some flouresence and it was a beautiful color nice and sparkly like yours and my heart went pitter-patter, it was love :love:

Asscherhalo lover, retogamer, thecat,arkieb1, jenncent, Acinom, m-2-b, Mayk, luv2sparkle, Sarahb Thank you so much! These compliments mean a lot coming from you guys!
Jenncent: Am I missing your thread on your avatar? Where can I find more pictures? It looks stunning!
Madison2 The ring does NOT have flourescence, and it doesn't always face up as white as in the sun. Most of the pictures were taken indoors, however, to give a good sense of the warmth.
Sundial Thanks for your comforting words! I will keep that in mind!

Your ring is beautiful! Just looking at your photos I thought it was a D color and was amazed to read that it is a K color, incredible!

Gorgeous - totally not a semi upgrade - it's a total upgrade for the excellent cut, and it looks perfect on you!
