It is a .45 ct round brilliant ideal cut J color SI1. It is a solitare setting. I will post real pictures of the ring when I get a chance here is a picture from their website. This may be rambling on a bit, but I am excited.

It was an H color and we didnt like the clarity. So I has a ring made myself on blue nile. I am selling this ring if anyone is intrested. I put it up on ebay. I am so happy with the Blue nile ring, and I dont even get to wear it.

sumi Ideal Rock Total Posts: 565 Last Post: 1/3/2006 Member Since: 1/6/2004	I'm a little confused. Which is your GF's ring? The .45ct pictured in the first post, or the 1+ct listed above? So, are you keeping one and selling one on ebay? They are both very pretty rings, by the way.

Joe M Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 3/30/2004 Member Since: 3/25/2004	The Blue Nile ring pictured in the first post is my girlfriends engagement ring, as soon as I purpose. The second ring is the one I am looking to sell. Thanks you for your comments.

Joe M Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 3/30/2004 Member Since: 3/25/2004	Thanks everyone. I love the second ring, I cant wait for work to be over so I can take pics. A little OT but do you guys know anywhere I can sell that ring, besides Ebay?

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,927 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Joe...run a search on selling diamonds here on PScope...there are lots of old threads with some advice. You should be prepared to take alot less than you paid for the ring. Esp with I3 clarity and that kind of cut...the diameter on that stone is more like a 1.20c stone, not a 1.39c..so the diamond effectively looks much smaller than it should. Combine that with the I3 and the EGL grade...I would really roughly estimate on eBay you would be looking at at something like netting something like $500-700. eBay people are deal hunters. Here is an old auction that ended last week that is very similar and sold for around $590. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2695962314&category=42948 There was another one that sold for $800 that was G/H color and I3 and one more that was H I3 for $400. So average may be around $500-600. Or you can try consignment at a jeweler but with the type of quality, chances are they would not really take it, a pawn shop may give you 15% of your purchase, private sale through classifieds or Craigs List may be an option. Unfortunately it's hard to re-sell a diamond! Good luck! Love the new ring. Beautiful and much better! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Joe M Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 3/30/2004 Member Since: 3/25/2004	Well if I get 430-500 for it I will be happy. I actually paid 400 plus shipping originally. Purchasing that ring was a rookie mistake and I was blinidng by the fact that my girlfriend found it and said she wanted it. I will look into what you said Mara.Thanks.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,927 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Where did you get the original ring? You should be able to get that $400 back if not a little more, from the looks of similar auctions. Very good news! Good luck! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Joe M Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 3/30/2004 Member Since: 3/25/2004	The ring was purchased on Ebay. I just found out it sold today for 450$. I took pictures of the new ring but they honeslty do not do the new ring and justice. It is so shiny in real life. I will try the magnifying glass trick later. I cant get my digital camera to show the ring as it is. This was taken withut flash under a little light. I will get a better pic.
