My 2.75 Leon Mege Antique Cushion!!!!!!

[Snooper]

YAY! It''s here!! About 7 weeks ago I purchased an antique cushion from Jewels by Erica and Grace. It was my 30th Birthday gift from my husband and cats. It''s a 2.75 carat and I believe the measurements are: 8.44 x 8.20 x 5.94.

It''s an Si1 stone. For now I''ll let you guys guess the color (if you know already, don''t say!!)

I just received the solitaire today!!! No fire shots or outdoors shots as I just got home and the sun is going down as I type...

Ring size: 7 *sigh*. After seeing Boston Jeff''s ring, I knew that was "the setting" for my new baby.

Oh, it''s GORGEOUS!

I don''t know the color, so I''ll guess! Hmmm, is it a ''K''?

Now, to give you an idea of the color, here''s my ring next to my 3.10 GIA G/VS1 princess (bags are F). The band is F as well. All three rings from LM

Both rings have no fluor

Profile. The pic shows way more tint than in real life. The stone is set "low as possible" too.

The happy family

I LOVE that diamond

, and of course, I am a bit partial to Leon solitaires! I am going to have to have one of those OEC/OMC''s or whatever they are!

Shank I believe is 1.7-1.8mm at the widest, and then it tappers a bit thinner on the bottom of the shank at 6:00.

Nope, but D''oh! I just posted a pic that had the color grade underneath LOL. Oh well

Here''s a pic of my G princess next to the cushion (not a good pic of my princess). The color of the cushion is by far whiter than my pictures are making it out to be.

The new diamond is beautiful, the old diamond is beautiful, and the band is beautiful!
I love them all

 

[Snooper]

iluvcarats : Thanks so much!

Kaleigh: Thanks! It was a great birthday gift indeed

joflier I was thinking at one time to have a white or pink halo around it, but again, Boston Jeff''s ring came to mind.

diamondseeker2006 Yeah I recently got into the older cuts. I''m told it''s not an OMC, but just an antique cushion.

MoonWater Thank you

february2003bride You were close, it''s a K/L. I''m guessing a high L/K? The profile is not as tinted as some older cuts I''ve seen.

luckystar112 Thanks!!!!

Snooper,

What kind of a demigod are you married to? That beauty of a ring is extraordinary. Seriously, is he a Libra--balanced and romantic? Congratulations (and your cats have great taste too!)!

 

[dreamer_dachsie]

Wowee I love it!

 

[mrssalvo]
