Marquise diamond from James Allen

[Niel]

Rings all paid for $5465 and it has started production apparently

So did you opt for the diff head?

Did you opt to have them engrave it??

I'm so excited for you this really is a truly beautiful ring

Yes I have had the different head and the engagement date engraved. Just got the dreaded vat bill to come. Does all FedEx parcels get hit with it? I know I have had stuff in the past from China and places that has escaped it but can't remember if that's due to them using a false value on the declaration

Mike

I believe it's every package and the only way people avoid it is when they fudge a bit on the labeling.

I got this Gia report before

 

[Niel]

Great numbers. I bet is very fiery

It's going to be a long wait although they have said it should leave the U.S. on the 6th July which is sooner than I thought.

Are the comments about twinning wisps etc anything to be worried about?

What does it mean by surfaces graining are not shown

Surface graining isn't shown on the plot, is what that means. As for the twinning wisps, I wouldnt worry. As for inclusions, twinning wisps are a nice one to have as they are less noticeable than say, a lot of black crystals or something. It's a VS2, you've seen what it looks like magnified, and the gemologist says its eye clean, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

[classmaz]

They did I can tell they put the vs at the ends. It's 6 prongs not 4 I'm sure because its a cathedral setting so the prongs hand to be on either side of the cathedral.

I think it looks great!

 

[classmaz]

Turned out awesome...congrats on your engagement!

 

[classmaz]

I have had it valued for insurance purposes and they have said £8,950 ($13,967) seems very high compared to the James Allen $7,700

Also how would I know if my centre stone has been inscribed with the GIA Number.

Thanks
