Our new (old) 2.3 carat OEC e-ring!

FacetFire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,878 Last Post: 6/23/2009 Member Since: 6/27/2006	Hi everyone. It hasn't been very sunny here, so I don't have any sparkle/fire shots yet, but I took some handpics of my new e-ring that my sweet fiance gave me on Sunday night when he proposed. It sparkles like nothing I've ever seen, but unfortunately the pics aren't turning out great at this point. It even has rainbows in it when there is no direct light! I'll take some more pics when the sun comes out. First, the specs on the center stone: 2.30 ct Old European Cut 8.47 x 8.49 x 5.06 mm Color: I Clarity: SI1 Depth: 59.7% Table: 49% Fluor: Faint Blue Culet: Medium The setting is a Michael Bondanza setting ordered through Pearlman's in plat with approx. 30 points of I color pave stones. (Sorry the pics aren't better, but I promise more soon!)

If not, Where did you get it? Thanks!!! Nope, it wasn't a family diamond (I wish!) :) My fiance looked high and low for OECs using a local jeweler here in NC. She found this one through a dealer in NYC. He said he saw it and it took him about two seconds to buy it...he just knew it was perfect for me! I think that's so sweet of him!

Did Pearlman's set it for you or did you have it set where you got the stone? Thanks!!!! I LOVE it! I can't believe how well he did! He sent the stone to Pearlman who sent it to Bondanza who made the ring and set the stone and sent it back to Pearlman who sent it on to him...wow, that sounds complicated...haha!

Wow, if that's how it looked with little or no light, I can't imagine how alive and sparkly it is with light. I love OEC. I don't know what it is, but there is something just so mesmerizing about the facting on OEC. Very lovely.

Congrats! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
