Hi everyone. I'm new here. Been peeping around for the the past month. My fiance and I were engaged near the end of February. I live in NJ. He lives in CA. It's been a long road, with a longer road still... Hopefully, everything will work out with my transfer to CA! We both work for Uncle Sam, so we're hoping he'll give us a compassionate consideration!

Anyway, here are the pics. I borrowed the camera from my dad, and just learned to use it. Whoever suggested using a magnifying glass...it works! It's a princess set in platinum. It sparkles like crazy, and shoots all sorts of rainbows in the right light. The only thing that bothers me is the color It's very square, so don't let the warped rectangular pic fool you I've enjoyed browsing this board, and learned a lot. I hope you enjoy!

1.50 carat Princess
6.31 x 6.28 x 4.45
Clarity VS1
Color K
Depth 70.9%
Table 74%
Girdle Thin to Very Thick
Culet None
Floures. None
Polish Excellent
Symmetry Good

Thanks for the replies! I forgot to mention there's .32 carats of round brilliants all along the sides of the center stone. I can't wait to pick out the wedding bands!

Can anyone recommend a wedding band that would go with this?...although I think I need to have one custom made so it will fit around the two bands wrapping around the band on either side of the center stone.

Does it look 'wrong' or is the letter on the cert a much worse sight than the awesome ring?

I am not known for my admiration for colorless stones... One thing I could say is that the setting does the most possible to emphasize the ever-so-slight tint in the stone. The sides of the diamond are exposed, and that is where color is most obvious, not 'face-up' where the fiery reflections get the upper hand The center stone is set very high. Making the diamond look seriously whiter could mean a trip to the jeweler to set the center stone lower, so that the sides are covered by the mounting.

Go K! You're not alone. I wear one too. (Actually, mine's a K/L, probably closer to L.)
