2.11ct triple whammy!!!

[mommy2iz]

hi everyone! thank you all so much for the many lessons learned from this site! i felt so ready to go find the ring of my dreams for my 10 yr anniversary upgrade thanks to you all! my original e-ring was a round 0.65 H/VS2. and here is my brand new 2.11 round, passion flower cut, D/SI3 in custom 1/2 eternity band. i love it!!!
i''ve read so much about the various feelings on trendier cuts, and EGL certs. my hands were a bit tied as i needed to utilize my upgrade credit from the original jeweler. i ended up with this stone as a total fluke, but could not be happier. i had never heard of this cut. i was looking for an OEC/OMC in vintage setting. my jeweler recommended this stone, and viola! it''s amazing!!!!
it does have a white inclusion at 1:00 or 7:00 (depending on which way i wear it), that is visible at certain angles. hence,the SI3. it bothered me at first, but i''ve grown to love it. i''ll always know it''s my ring. it is such a fire-ball, and makes me smile every time i catch a glimpse of it! i hope you all enjoy it as much as i do!
and best part is that i still have my original baguette setting - so now i have a new project!

It looks lovely! Tell us more about the "passion flower cut?" I''ve never heard of it either.

You sound so happy! That makes your ring even more beautiful, you know?

It looks lovely, but you MUST post more pics. I''ve got to see what this cut looks like.

Congrats again!

That''s a whole lotta sparkle! Beautiful!

 

[mommy2iz]

awwww. thank you guys! it was a completely blind project as i''m on the west coast, and the jeweler''s are back east. i was so worried! but it turned out even better than i''d hoped! from what i understand, the passion cut has 80+facets vs. 57-58 for round brilliant. i wasn''t sure i''d care for it; i tend to have more traditional taste. it absolutely surpasses the majority of stones i looked at, including those specialty rodeo drive shops! i''m having technical difficulties with my lap-top.

i''ll try again after my husband comes home; i need his technical skills!

Very nice, I like that cut it looks amazing

 

[mommy2iz]

hi icekid! i have such a great IRL photo of the cut; i can''t wait to get it uploaded. my camera won''t transfer the pics for some reason, and i''m technically inept with these things. my poor husband has no idea i''m about to bombard him as soon as we walks thru the door! haha!

 

[vespergirl]

OMG, GORGEOUS!!! We need more pics! Congrats on your upgrade!

 

[LaurenThePartier]
