Re: Love the setting but, oh, the diamond...
Check the measurements of the smaller stones. With the measurements & depth of the 1.5 you posted (7.21 - 7.24), odds are good that the smaller stones are very close in width. With 64% depth you are paying for diamond you can't see. If the smaller stones are close as close in face up size as I s... |

Re: Mega bling - 23.86ct diamond
The rock has been completed, the final weight of the primary diamond from the rough came in at 7.30ct. You can see in the first photo the sister rough that has yet to be polished. It will yield another diamond but for now looks good next to the big brother. http://www.pricescope.com/files/images/fin... |

Mega bling - 23.86ct diamond
Here are a few photos of a rough diamond, 23.86ct. It is not exactly mega bling yet, but it will be when the cutting is finished. http://www.pricescope.com/files/images/Rough_23_86.jpg http://www.pricescope.com/files/images/2386.jpg The rock is undergoing cutting now... will post more photos later a... |

The problem I have is that I can acutally see the feather with the naked eye (When I look at it closely from the side view of the pavilion. Looks like a tiny black dot). When I turn it around, the dot is reflected on more than one facet of the pavilion. (sorry if my terminology is not correct) I am... |

Author: Rhino I had read in Rappaport (I believe sometime mid last year) that many Japanese Laboratories were also adopting the GIA Cut Grading system as their standard as well. If many labs already adopt their clarity/color grading system I would think there shouldn''t be a problem introducing GIA... |

I was at the postoffice a couple of months ago sending a package. As I quickly counted my change (as he handed it to me) I thought something was wrong. I was either short changed, or had too much... after a quick calculation I found the error was his. He had given me $1.00 too much change. I handed ... |

It is for certain that NOT all stones that are considered ideal cut would contain the H&A pattern. In order for a stone to be considered H&A the arrows and points must be 'perfect'. While a lot of ideal cut stones will display at least some resemblance of the H&A pattern, in order for it to be consi... |

Yep, quite disgusting! You walk into the shop to purchase a ring, and what you are actually buying is the store, employees, insurance & marketing. The actual item you walk out with is worth less than the non-tangibles. I much prefer to spend my money with the low overhead Internet sources (for most ... |

AGS will not release the criteria they use to the public, drop them an email or give them a call... they will not release the specs to you unless you are a member of the trade. Not something I personally agree with, but from personal experience I know this to be the case. Robert Gunther |

Your post is interesting, I've often wondered if submitted multiple times if the reports would come back different. A diamond can not change in respect to additional crystal inclusions, they do not develop after the fact. The only way the diamond would change after being cut is damange either to the... |

I will not guess at the color, but I guess a few other parametser: Table is about 58% or so... Crown angle about 35 degrees... Pavilion depth 44.5%... If you have any of these measurements, do tell... I do like the photo, difficult to take photos like that I find. Robert Gunther |

I always use Michaels Jewelry Studio, they have an excellent setter on staff. Their speciality is custom pieces, and I've had several done there always with excellent results. They are located in Pikesville, MD just on the North side of the Baltimore beltway. They have a website with the address her... |

Grading with a micoscope is also much different (much better I find). It is easier to see, things are not moving around (like your hand, or the loupe) AND you can crank up the power to 50x or 60x and take a good look at things. While a diamond grade is set with 10x, I always look at much higher powe... |

Hi TooMuchInformation, Here is a tip for using the loupe, keep both eyes open. It is a little difficult at first, but if you are closing one eye you can't practice looking through the loupe for long as your eyes get tired. It will not help you spot things, but it keeps your eyes from getting tired o... |

You can see color flashes anywhere the filler has been added, not just the edges. If a large feather has been filled, you will be able to see flashes of color all over where the filler has taken effect in the feather. I'm not sure if I read your message correctly, but I don't think the companies who... |

If you can't find a pre made setting that you like - due to height - your only alternative would be to have one made. Find the style of setting you like, and have someone make one for you. What you would end up with is some modified version of what you see in the shops, it would probably have a hole... |

I agree with the others, your mind is making it appear more yellow. An H color diamond will not appear as yellow as you say. Also, the material it is set in can make it appear a little different. If it is in yellow gold the diamond will pickup some of that yellow (your going to say it is in Plat. no... |
