Patty Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,031 Last Post: 6/4/2008 Member Since: 12/7/2003	It's beautiful! I like the shot on your hand with your e-ring. So will you put this new one in your e-ring? (You said something about changing your setting?)

Jelly Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,476 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/20/2005	Thanks Patty...When I said, change my setting, I meant change the head/prongs to fit the larger stone. Although I think this stone would look gorgeous in a solitaire! Hmmm.

Jelly Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,476 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/20/2005	I'm still test driving it out...but I'm 95% sure I will keep it. It faces up white and although it's an SI1, I can't see any inclusions with my loupe. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, hehe.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	Heyyyyy....that's my pendant!!! HAAA! Well not really. But I figured if that stone was still there later this year then I would get it as a pendant....I absolutely LOVE that stone, it looks so beautiful from the numbers and images, it was a steal of a price for almost 1c, and WOW the actual thing looks even better!! I hope you keep it because if I can't have it then another PS'er DEFINITELY should!!! Keep us posted and more pictures please!! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Jelly Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,476 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/20/2005	Hi Mara and Princess V! Thanks for the compliments. Mara, I think we've both been scouting out this stone for quite a while. When they finally replaced the sample image of this stone, I knew I had to act on it quickly before Valentine's Day. It's a beautiful stone. Such a great value for the money. Perhaps I'm not very color sensitive, but the stone is so white and sparkly, I feel silly about how I was worrying about the low color.

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,919 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	It looks VERY white and fabulous, Jelly. I didn't think it would last til later this year but you never know!! However, the way the lower colors have started to fly around here, I'm really not surprised. I don't think you can go wrong with it, esp for the price! Can't wait to see it set! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

fisiogrl Cut Rock Total Posts: 188 Last Post: 10/29/2008 Member Since: 1/6/2004	that 'brother/sister' shot makes the K look whiter than your other stone. Based on this alone, you should keep it! If you can't find inclusions even with your loop, then you should really keep it! If Mara wanted it too, then you should really REALLY keep it!! I can't think of a better endorsement than the fact that the PS Queen had her eye one the same stone. What are you going to do with your original?

Jelly Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,476 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 7/20/2005	Thanks for the compliments everyone! I have a dilemna of deciding whether to keep my old stone or use it towards the price of this upgrade. I knew I might get sentimental about it...ARGH. I showed my Mom the new stone and asked her what she thought about the two side to side. I didn't tell her anything at first about the lower color, one grade down in clarity, ACA vs ES...She thought the K looked more sparkly! I personally can see more warmth in the K versus the I, but it's very subtle and you have to put them exactly next to each other. I'm Asian and have darker skin anyway, so the warmth doesn't bother me. Unfortunately it was an overcast day, so I have yet to see this stone in direct sunlight! I need to make a trip to the mall because the lighting in there is fabulous for diamonds!
