I am yet another new proud owner of a GOG signature chunky cushion! My fiance and I decided to upgrade from my sapphire ering and, after watching all the videos and seeing all the pics I KNEW I had to have one of these babies :)

After deciding on my stone, I went to Charles Alexander in MD to look for a setting (since I just couldn''t bear to buy a setting that I hadn''t tried on first). The saleswoman was really sweet but kept laughing at me the whole time for buying this stone since it''s an "L"!!!! I showed her the video that GOG made for me (http://vimeo.com/5610925 - mine is on the left) and she said "Is that a real diamond?!?" HAHAHA! She then proceeded to show me about 5 different stones in an attempt to change my mind and buy from them but there is no way anything she brought out could compare with what I knew I was buying. Anyway, I ended up buying this setting in platinum that was designed by the owner of the store. I then had GOG send the stone to the store to be set. However, I told the saleswoman that I wanted to look at the stone after it arrived and before they set it just to make sure...

On the day I went to look at the stone, the saleswoman said she wanted to "play a game" with me. She brought out 3 different stones in grabbers and set them all in front of me and asked me to pick out my stone. I knew RIGHT away which was mine! It was sooo obvious! The cut is just TO DIE for! She also brought out the rapaport price list to show me that I''d been "overcharged." I honestly couldn''t care less. This is the stone of my dreams and I think that GOG does such an amazing job and, while the price may be a little inflated for the "on paper" specs of the stone, it is worth every penny that I paid...especially since I will be enjoying this little ball of fiery rainbow for the rest of my life :) At the end, the saleswoman was really sweet and kept telling me she thought it was beautiful and was really surprised at how light it faces up for an L. The best part: when she took me outside to look at the stone, she told me that their "really snobby" stockroom girl that "used to work at Tiffany''s" just "couldn''t believe how beautiful" the stone is. How perfect.

It's gorgeous!

It's interesting that the SA decided to play a little game with you. Seems pretty ball-sy.

That is an amazing stone - I love the top view of the facets -- yummy. And what a beautiful setting! I love the contrast of the simple, classic setting with the vintage look of the stone. Very eye-catching. I would get no work done if that was on my finger!

Congrats on snapping up that beauty - I had my eye on that one for ages!

that SA is a ding-bat - we all know how decent these prices are on the GOG
chunkies. She was just jealous she doesn''t stock L''s she can pass off as H''s, lol..
I''m glad she was polite in the end.

Gorgeous rock, and very elegant setting, congrats!
