KittyTiger Cut Rock Total Posts: 395 Last Post: 11/22/2004 Member Since: 11/30/2003	Mara, since you'll be getting an ACA and I just got my 5 stone band today. And BOY! was it sparkly!!! Do you think the ACA will be more sparkle, fire, brilliance. I'm curious to know for when I get to search for a stone for myself. *changed my user name from Leota --> to KittyTiger*

aljdewey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,236 Last Post: 2/11/2008 Member Since: 11/25/2002	Well, as an ACA owner myself.....I'd say that I've never seen a ring sparkle like mine does. Of course, I'm sure others could perform equally.....but my stone has KILLER numbers and my appraiser said it had TOP TOP light return. Hard to imagine how another stone could top that. In fact, I'd say that I'm spoiled to the point that I'll likely be ordering my melee from WF, too. Once you've had chateaubriand, hamburgers don't quite taste the same! _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Leota Well I don't have the ACA yet So I don't really know. Since I don't have a superideal right now...it will be interesting to compare my stone to the new stone. From pictures though ...I think it will be an eye popper. Though I do have to say that in my opinion, ACA melee is such low cost for the quality that it makes it worth it to use them every time. For example, everything I have priced out via WF using their melee has pretty much been the same price or less than if I got regular random melee from somewhere else. Is the difference quantifiable? I don't know yet...I'll tell you when I place my new ACA melee eternity wedding band next to my existing random regular melee engagement ring on the day of the wedding. I have a feeling the new ring will be more sparkly, rendering my old one in desperate need of modifications! That said, when I create my 10 stone ring, it's going to be with ACA melee. Why? Because the price at the store is probably MORE using their pre-set stones than it will be to have ACA use their stones. Good enough reason for me! Diamonds sparkle, return fire and brilliance because of the cut. Not the color or the clarity, but the cut. If the stone is cut well, it doesn't matter what it's called or branded or labeled. It's going to sparkle like the dickens. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein
