LOVEEEEEEEEE.

Thank you MARA!

Alene, stargurl78, purplesilk, irisheyes9, travelinggal, and autumnovember- thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it!

Congrats it's a fireball!

Thank you Amys Bling!

I just took this picture under a tree. I think this is my most FAVORITE picture of all. It doesn't have to best quality since it was taken with my iPhone but the colors coming out of this rock are so amazing!

ETA: huh... on my Iphone and my computer the colors are so strong, all the blues and pinks and yellows... but on PS it looks dull... wonder why?

WOW YT!!!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous ring!! I also love the ps9 photo of the unset stone, love seeing the facet pattern on that one! Also I am so glad that your warm color antique cut doesn't stand out too much against the tacori melee, since I am hoping to score a tacori sometime in the future. Keep taking those pictures!!

GORGEOUS

Lucky you!!!

Which Tacori do you have your eye on? And for what! RHR? Upgrade?
And the L does stand out against the G/H melee but not in a bad way. When it does stand out, and become warmer, the extreme pastels come out and it's sooo worth it! But when I first received the diamond, I couldn't even believe it was an L! How low in color were you planning on going?

Thank you jeweln. How's your OEC search going? I was contemplating whether or not to change my avatar. Have you seen madagascar, especially Madagascar 2? The squirrel in my avatar was Mort. I have a crush on Mort But, I decided it was about time to change to avatar. Permanently hopefully

I like the 2638 but I would like to try and get it modified with split prongs. This would be for my e ring but SO and I are still a ways away financially so it wouldn't be for another year at least. Just looking now! There is a gorgeous L 1.7ish AVC now that I'm liking but doubtful it'll still be there next year. I'm not sure how low I can go because I haven't seem many warm colors IRL! I like the low colors and would prefer lower color over smaller size but at the same time I don't want it there to be too much contrast. From what I've read about the J-M range it seems like you mostly only see color from the side and with the basket on these tacoris, I doubt anyone will be noticingthe color of the stone! What advice do you have?

The 2638 sounds great with split prongs. I think that since the 2638 doesn't have a halo, I don't think you have too worry to much about the contrast as much as if there was a halo.
But about the low color thing, you won't know if something looks good to you until you see it IRL. And, I realized that even tho diamonds are graded a certain color, some face up white and some face up warmer than others. My L, I think, faces up much whiter than it is graded, most of the time. I saw a J color stone and I actually think that it faced up warmer than my L now.

Wow! The new picture you posted is AMAZING!!!! I absolutely adore your ring!

Awesome thanks for your thoughts! I hope to make a trip to visit GOG someday but if not I'll have to settle for his awesome videos. I keep coming back just to oogle at your pictures!!!

Thanks! I saw this thread got bumped and I was like hmmm... this title looks familiar! hahaha!
Last weekend, my friends and I were sitting underneath some trees eating some cupcakes and the pastels on the stone were amazing! I dunno why I didn't take a pic!
