My new 2.42 H&A 3 prong martini studs from GOG...

[bem3231]

Hi everyone -

Yesterday I received my new H&A studs from GOG. I''m struggling to resize photos so I''ll post some more if I''m able.

Stone 1 is 1.215 ct
Stone 2 is 1.205 ct

They are both H - I range and SI2 - I1 range. I was a little concerned about the clarity but Jon assured me that they were beauties, with no black and no inclusions under the table - just some white inclusions on the sides. I am SO glad that I went down in clarity in order to get the size that I wanted, because unless I am seriously scrutinizing them I cannot notice a thing! One of them is a little better clarity than the other but again, unless I have my loupe out I can''t tell.

Many thanks to Jon for, yet again, putting up with my endless questions. He really found me a pair of *gems* that I''m sure I''ll love more and more...

... and, if I ever decide to upgrade they are totally upgradeable. These really are the *perfect* size that I was after, so if I ever did decide to upgrade I suspect that it would be to go higher in color and / or clarity, although right now I can''t imagine that.

Here''s the first photo - in their box...

OK - that photo turned out pretty crappy - back I go to my photo resizing tutorial. Stay tuned...

Can you add some ear shots too

.... I can''t wait, even in the "crappy" you can see how white and sparkly they are!

Ha ha! I agree - I''ve never really wanted to see my ears as close up as on those photos! Those photos that I posted actually were taken further away but I cropped them in my newbie efforts at resizing. I''ll give it another go and try to give a sense of a more ''real life'' view...

 

[dani13]

And, more pics, please!!!!

 

[snlee]
