Coming from one who thought an internet diamond was way too scary to try, it's been a bop down 5th Ave. I posted on 1-15(or 16)-06, for input on my two finalists. Many thanks to the kind folks who replied. Stone#1 came from a local, independent, established retailer, and Stone#2, from Whiteflash. I wasn't "WOWED" by #1, a 2.01 Ct. F/VS2, as it wasn't as colorful after it left the jewelery store lights. And I learned the pavillion was a little deep, allowing leakage from the center of the stone. The F color was beautiful and it sparkled, but I was a little let down as I knew it was a lot to pay for a stone I wasn't crazy in love with. As I have lurked on PS and researched for about a year, I took a deep breathe and called Whiteflash. I was lucky enough to have my call answered by Miss Renee. She quickly put me at ease, because she was on her J.O.B. She searched her offerings while I was on the line, and we found Stone#2. Although hesitant when I first called, Renee "flipped me" and after later speaking with Brian, my mind was made up. I was ready to have the stone sent to my appraiser, Richard Sherwood, a true professional. I was blown away by the Whiteflash ACA, 2.16 Ct., G/VS2, as I compared the stones side by side. I am paying a lower price, and a fair one, for a larger stone with precise cutting. I know I am getting the best for my money and can not wait until it arrives. Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!! I am having WF set my stone in the Fine Line Solitaire by Le, and am also ordering a w-band that has 9 ACA diamonds, 3 points a piece, for a delicate look that will compliment the e-ring. As my wonderful spouse of 20 years is riding along with me on this project, I count myself doubly blessed. Not to mention the fact he doesn't want to know "how much" because he says it will give him a stomach ache. Hee hee. Thanks a million to all you wonderful PSers! It's just too good............... Mo

Mara, hi. Not soon enough. I am waiting for my refund on Stone#1 to be sent in the mail and a money release request from my account to be processed as well. The target date is Jan 31st. But if things roll faster, sooner. I have planned for sooo long, absorbing all the knowledge I could to make this a really cool thing. I am totally new to cyber-stuff and also have to fiqure out to take/send hand shots. My spouse will no doubt help; he's the geek. Thanks, Mara, for all I have learned from your very detailed responses over the past year. I am having a hard time getting my smilie in the right place. It was supposed to be at the end of my thank you line. Oh well. Mo

This is very exciting! Of course you should be "wowed" by your new stone...and I'm glad that you were by the Whiteflash stone! I can't wait to see the new ring. Happy Anniversary too!

that last one you posted Sevens is the one that I drool over all the time...when I asked WF they said that the max that setting holds without mods was 2c so they thought that stone in the bottom there was 2c. YUMYUM!!

Ya'll, thanks for the fun feedback, 'cause this has been a blast to put together. Don't ya know the H&A images I saw at R. Sherwood's place were something to behold!! It is amazing to know these stones are eons old, born before man, but man finished what was started. They are truly a work of nature; then work of art. Mo

Yay! I have the fine line setting (but my stone is half of yours!) and I think you'll be pleased with it. I can't wait to see your ring :)
