rainydaze Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,498 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 5/1/2007	Wow! thank you Allison, LV, packrat, AmberG, mrsS, Burk, and grapegravity! i have sent it off to james meyer, to be set in a design like Coati's, all platinum (HUGE, HUGE props to coati for having such amazing taste, for sharing it with all of us and for being such a gracious poster!!). i am pairing it with the band WED-G from JM as well (pic below, but mine will be all platinum). i was originally going to go with mark morrell's new design, the nested crown, but when i put this OEC in 6-prong soitaires on my hand, it didn't wow me. i felt it needed something more, something to compliment the antique nature of it. plus this OEC has a very thin-thin girdle and i want the extra protection of a bezel. soooo.... i just kept going back to Coati's thread and back to JM's site until finally i emailed him for a quote. when his price came back the same as the MWM nested crown, i levitated and my arms when numb. i took that as a sign.

rainydaze Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,498 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 5/1/2007	i should also mention that i had a great experience with Adam at Old World Diamonds. he sent me four diamonds (free overnight shipping!) before I decided upon this one. he believes in needing to see them in person, and he was great about letting me take the time i needed (10 day return policy, but was willing to give me more time if i needed it). he has a great eye as i told him the most important thing to me was light performance - i wanted amazing fire and some great brilliance and pattern. all four that he sent were beauties. i definitely recommend them. also i was looking to trade in my princess and was thrilled to no end when i found out he is willing to take trades, even on modern stones. i initially assumed that because he specializes in antique diamonds, he would have no interest. i also took this OEC to jeff averbook (metro jewelry appraisers) and he was instrumental in helping me make my decision about this diamond. he also graded it as a G and upheld the VS1 clarity, and he said this was a rarer find for an antique given the color and condition. he also was impressed with its brilliance, especially for an old cut, which was also very important to me as i did not have the time or access to see a ton of these before purchasing. i was so glad to have a professional, who was unbiased, and who has seen many, many diamonds, confirm what my eyes were telling me.

mrssalvo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,856 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/3/2005	ooo, I think a setting like Coati's will be perfect for that stone. Honestly, if I still had my OEC I'd probably reset it the same way. congrats on your soon to be new ring.. ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Coati- I just wanted to say that you are such an incredibly kind person to be so gracious about the multitudes of rings that are being made after seeing yours. I don't think any ring has gotten this much attention in a few years around here. The last one that this type of following reminds me of was the Ritani endless love, no halo when it seemed there were a whole bunch of ladies in a row to get that ring. anyway, kudos to you and your divine inspiration! i think a show me your JM would be fabulous ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.
