1.554 carat round brilliant reset onto WhiteFlash Tiffany classic setting!

squawks Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 6/9/2006 Member Since: 4/24/2006	Today Renee of WhiteFlash (who by the way is wonderfully helpful) sent me a picture of the loose diamond I had sent in to WhiteFlash to be set in their Tiffany classic six-prong solitaire setting (platinum). WhiteFlash took a picture of the finished product and hopefully I'll be able to pick it up at a local FedEx tomorrow. Until then, more pictures to follow! I don't think that I will be able to top WhiteFlash's pictures, however! I can see arrows! But it looks like one of the arrow heads may be off a little I already saw the stone in person already and it looks fiery/bright/scintillating, however! I absolutely love how the prongs are well placed/cut in a fashion so as to permit as much stone as possible to the viewer's eye! My previous BlueNile six-prong setting was horrible with huge, spider-like prongs reaching into the crown of the stone ... so far in the prongs barely reached the table! Here are the stone's specs: Basic info: 1.554 J/SI1 (AGSL report from 01/2006) with HCA of 1.2 (EX, EX, EX, VG) Crown angle/%: 34.4/14.9% Pavillion angle/%: 40.8/43.1% Table %: 56.5% Depth %: 61.1% Girdle: thin to slightly thick, faceted, 1.2 - 4.0% Culet: pointed Dimensions: 7.43 x 7.51 x 4.56 mm Fluorescence: None (unfortunately! ) EDIT: Let me also add that this stone is an AGS000; so its symmetry and polish are both marked with highest AGS grades. -Kevin 1/7 of your life is spent on Monday!

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	Yes, it is gorgeous! I have a question for you, Kevin. I see on another thread that you found your diamond at BN. I wondered if the site told you that this stone was a hearts and arrows or just ideal cut? I can clearly see that it is hearts and arrows, but I am curious if you knew it would be. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

squawks Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 6/9/2006 Member Since: 4/24/2006	Diamondseeker, BlueNile did not tell me it was a hearts & arrows diamond - I bought it primarily based off of the AGSL report (which I somewhat regret as an amateurish move) and HCA score. So plainly put, I did not know whether it would be a true hearts and arrows cut diamond. BN sent me the diamond over a couple weeks ago and personally I couldn't see the arrows/hearts but that's more likely due to me being amateurish (perhaps I didn't observe the diamond in proper lighting conditions and/or viewing angles?). I also was a little confident that an AGS ideal would be sufficient - I checked GOG and WhiteFlash's inhouse selections and every single AGS ideal cut stone they had displayed perfect arrows. Maybe it was a gamble to begin with but with a 30-day no-hassles return policy, it's not so bad in the end (WhiteFlash for example has a whopping 20% restocking fee). EDIT: It's actually quite humorous because I never considered the diamond to be a H&A diamond until WhiteFlash reset the loose stone for me and took pictures of it, clearly displaying the arrows. I don't know how they do it, but it sure made me more 'glad' about my purchase! -Kevin 1/7 of your life is spent on Monday!

squawks Rough Rock Total Posts: 47 Last Post: 6/9/2006 Member Since: 4/24/2006	Unfortunately that's all the pics I took for today before the camera's battery died out - the sun was setting too so it wasn't my favorite lighting condition but nevertheless, it was still bright out. I'll drag out the woman again tomorrow for more pics! Hopefully she won't object! -Kevin 1/7 of your life is spent on Monday!

I don't know how they do it, but it sure made me more 'glad' about my purchase! Well Kevin, I think you did great! Very interesting to get hearts and arrows as a bonus! And they are hard to see just looking at the diamond.( I do think you are not quite correct about WhiteFlash, however. I think there is a 100% money back within 10 days for the diamond and stock setting. I think the 20% restocking fee is for custom settings or those that they have to order.) http://www.whiteflash.com/policies/return.aspx ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

You can see a little more yellowish warmth in the stone this time around (but then again the lighting is quite yellow). -Kevin 1/7 of your life is spent on Monday!
