chicagohills Rough Rock Total Posts: 46 Last Post: 1/3/2009 Member Since: 2/27/2004	My darling SO and I are looking at two diamonds. The first is a regent that we have from GOG. He (darling SO) photographed it earlier tonight and the second is a H&A round which we are getting today @ 10:30am. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.goodoldgold.com/regent_0_82_f_vs2.htm These are the specs on the first diamond. It's beautiful, super white, and has fantastic sparkle. <---blingbling* I'll post the H&A tomorrow night after we get it in. Here are the specs on that diamond: http://www.goodoldgold.com/0_90ct_f_si1_h%26a1.htm GOG promises that it is eye clean and gorgeous. Check out the BrillianceScope Analysis. More pix to come...

chicagohills Rough Rock Total Posts: 46 Last Post: 1/3/2009 Member Since: 2/27/2004	So we got the .90 HA.......... and it ROCKS!! It has so much fire and really deserves the 9.7 score GOG gave it. Normally I'm not a round fan, but the setting that I fell in love with has a gallery of micro pave diamonds around it and would look best with a round stone. I adore cushions and love this regent but I'm torn. It's wonderful that we have both diamonds here to compare them together. This process of diamond hunting is fun, but I'm ready to have the finshed product. <------- SO, did you catch that? He (SO) thinks I'm crazy because I'm addicted to this site. heh! tune in tonight for more pictures!!

Nicrez Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,230 Last Post: 10/21/2009 Member Since: 1/21/2004	YAY! ChicagoHills that's great! I LOVE the regent it's such a classic shape!!! I almost went for one, as a compromise for a square stone that almost never materialized...It is such a lovely stone, and the uniqueness of it is my main reason for loving it so!!! So should you get BORED of it, you can always apss it along to me... DO take pictures...I need to stop visiting Tomatoe's Show me the Ring pics of her Regent... DROOL....

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	So... can we see both stones in the same pic? Too abd there is no way to actually show what you see Also, I woudl not worry too much about the setting: one can always be made as you wish. And one wouls have a very hard time to find any cushio cut with the optics of that regent Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,911 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	I'm so glad you chose the round...If your SO is who I think...then I have seen pictures of the setting. I highly recommend the round in that setting vs the Regent...Yay! Regents should be set where light can enter as much as possible from all angles, its the nature of the cut. To cover up the entire pavilion and girdle with a bezel type setting would hide so much of the beauty of the Regent. Can you post pictures of the H&A and the Regent side by side? Very curious. I bet the round appears bigger too? Please do post pictures of the H&A you chose and the finished product when it's done. Can't wait to see! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,911 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Oops!! I just assumed when you mentioned the setting having the micro pave that you had seen it and chosen the stone partially because of the setting (which is partially what I advised!!). Damn, next time tell your man to PM people he's already clued in warnings before you post..hehe. Well...the setting is beautiful? Does that help? in a very small voice Can I still see pictures? ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Rhino Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,865 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/29/2001	Hi chicagohills! Neat having those 2 side by side huh? Regents do kick optical mojo. Of H&A rounds however that particular stone has what I would consider the rarest set of optics to be found within H&A diamonds. It's proportions, variances & minor facet cutting are such that it exhibits some of the most extreme light output possible even within H&A's under both direct and diffuse lighting. I am glad you are able to see one of my handpicked cherries up close for yourself. I've been out of the loop since both stones were delivered to you as you know my assistant Christen handles all post sale activity so I don't even know yet which stone has been chosen yet either. :-P hehe BTW your pics are great and I personally thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you and "SO" during this chapter of your life. We at GOG are honored to be of assistance. Best regards, Jonathan aka... Rhino Good Old Gold
