Re: My Leon 5 Stone E-ring

Hi: This is going to sound funny - but that is my original center stone! I traded it in with Leon. I am soooo happy that someone has it that loves it. I was having major remorse about giving it up and we even talked about buying it back. I will let you know that there is GREAT karma with it. I have ...

Re: Old cut pricing

Hi- Thank you again for trying to help me. I understand what you are saying and it makes sense. DreamerD - I did see those two that you put up but didn't think the 3.5ct (GIA J) was a good comp bc this was a 3.2 EGL J (so probably a L/M)??? ..The second one that was a GIA "M" which would m...

Old cut pricing

I know it's very difficult to do a "cost compare analysis" on old cuts, so I'm asking all of you for your expertise/experience. Can you give me an idea of what a GIA 3ct L/SI1 would cost or a EGL 3ct J/Vs2 or a GIA 3 ct I/SI1 or any other examples? (preferably over 3ct's if you know). Also...

Re: Choosing between these 2 large OECs - more pics

Hi Anne_H: I appreciate all your information and help! I'm just not sure what to do. That stone is killing me but when I look around and see the size of some other stones and how beautiful they are and the range mentioned they are looking to spend.. I can't see doing it. I know that I will now be th...

Re: Choosing between these 2 large OECs - more pics

Hi Anne! Thank you so much for your response. Okay - I am thinking that the OEC you posted is from OWD's? I am on the hunt and I am happily working with someone and they are great but, of-course, the OCD in me is looking as well to help them =) -and to perhaps suggest it to them:) In any event, the ...

Re: Would YOU spend $50k for a diamond?

Hi: Bellamezzo! Love that Lang! I do love it and there are a lot of goodies out there - but I am a bargain shopper - so the Tiffany is out b/c I think it's worth more b/c of the name and the other Lang is too big for me BUT you had me at the "Sapphire" :sun: PintoBean: You are right! Sooo ...

Christina:

I think you said it best. It's only a conversation - if you can afford it and without consequences - SAY YES!!! With that being said - it was just a question - if you had the extra money - would you. Thanks so much for your input.

Re: OEC/Holloway Cut Advisor??

Hi Mara and Natascha: I don't know why some of my posts are not going thru! :cry: In any event, Mara - No - no need to buy right away. I'm open to looking a bit more since it is so much. I do like the higher color though.. does not have to be super white but on the white side. I just really loved th...

Thanks so much MC, HotPozzum and DIamond*Diana: I appreciate all of your opinions. Diamond*Diana: I guess you hit it for me when you said that you would need to be comfortable for something you would wear everyday - That's kind of my point. I would rather spend a lot on one piece that I would wear '...

Hi N: Thanks so much. I hate to say that money is not an issue - b/c if you do care about a "dollar" then you will never quite feel that way... That being said - I would say that in all honesty - it's a matter of "want", "principle" and "common sense".... and ...

Re: OEC/Holloway Cut Advisor??

Armywife: Okay - I am struggling here... Would you spend that on that? I would in a heart beat if I wasn't conservative. Also, while I in NO WAY need bigger - I am thinking for that amount of money - that I should have a 6ct~ LOL - although I would not wear that. So if money was no object - would yo...

Would YOU spend $50k for a diamond?

Hi: This is a very frivolous questionI know but realistically, $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000. is a lot for a stone..... When does it ever end? What's the lowest you would settle for and what realistically would you want/expect for that $50k?? Would you pick size over color? Would you pick F...

Re: Choosing between these 2 large OECs - more pics

Hi Anne: I'm not sure how to contact you separately but I am on the hunt for an OEC and I saw this and see that you picked your beautiful OEC! It is truly magnificent!

Re: OEC/Holloway Cut Advisor??

I do too! I just don't know if it's worth the money for a higher color. So many others have the warmer ones and they still look white and sooo beautiful! But I love that patter that is going oN!!! I wish I could also make the other one bigger. It's a lot warmer though and may look slightly yellow......
