Hi all,
Crap, I got the ring. Now what? Am I actually going to go through with it... spooky new territory, baby... i''m pondering now...
0.81 ACA H&A AGS ideal cut H SI1
Laureato knife edge setting...
The fluorescence is negligible, but dang if the little thing didn''t look blue in the sun the other day driving home from getting it checked by a jeweler friend. Frack it, I want a diamond now... one with major fluor too! stupid unequal sexes crap- too bad guy''s can''t wear a big fat diamond unless its in their ear. and then you can''t even see it yourself. This diamond seems to flicker a lot in certain lighting. At first I was rather disappointed since it was bright, but didn''t fire like I''ve seen others do- of course, i''m looking at it in my room with crappy overhead diffused lighting and holding it 5 inches from my face. but lo and behold, take it to a jewelry store and it rocks! and in sunlight it was all sparkly and flickery too. and my bathroom with stronger lights.
Pretty much eye clean from the top- very difficult to see even knowing where the big fat inclusion is unless I got tons and tons of light around. Inclusion is at the edge though and not in the table. but I can see the inclusion easily from the side when the diamond is between me and a light source. At least i can tell if the diamond is swapped or not. The other set of inclusions is under a prong, so no can see. Diamond looks colorless in the plat setting to me. No color, but not icey.
Anyhoo, since I''ve only seen on these forums one person w/ a Laureato setting (curved shank though) other than the stock WF pics, I thought I''d post some real life pics I took of it. The stock WF pics do not do the setting much justice, you need see it in real life (its a bit different, probably due to lighting). Hope the GF will ike it... Anyways, happy eye candy!... and forgive the blurry...
dang hard to get that arrows shot through that H&A viewer:
some setting pics
Since this is the first time i have a diamond this up close to me, I didn''t realize how much you can see the table at times- mirror effect w/ the lights. Not sure I like that, but I guess it comes with the territory...I''m just glad its not a 60 table.. even bigger!
Now for some funky pics!
kryptonite baby!
