I just wanted to share the results of a recut just completed by Infinity Diamonds brokered through Wink.  The stone is from a ring belonging to my grandmother, an Old European of 0.92 carats and not at all attractive.  I think these results look great--I can't wait to see it.  Any comments would be appreciated, especially from Paul at Infinity, who I thank for his great work.

It will go into a Vatche cathedral setting--WV2000 on Wink's web site.

Best to all.

By the way, this recut was done to the higher specifications that Infinity offers--something of the Ideal/Hearts/Arrows sort.

Do you have any 'before and after' photos?  That would be really fun to see!

I agree, real life shots would be great, but it does look nice!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"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."

Lovely, but at the same time, my heart weeps for the OEC since I'm an old stone kind of gal.

Me too,  Chrono!

A before picture would be great,  and before/after weight/dimensions would be interesting,  too...

I second the suggestion.  I've always been curious about recuts:
1. The difference in looks
2. Carat weight loss
3. Diameter size loss

I am sorry..., but I would rather have a 0.92 ct. OEC than any 0.62 ct. modern....cut!

I sure hope you don't take our moaning too seriously, ingemit!  You're just hearing from a few old fogey traditionalists.

Your 'new' diamond is no doubt spectacular, and sparkles like never before...Congratulations!

Thanks for all your thoughts.  I wrestled with the choice of getting it recut, but the cut was really terrible.  I will post some before and after shots once the piece is done. 

The diamond Infinity did was one of two in the setting.  Its pair is a .87 SI with H color.  One of the two stones was slightly chipped on the girdle.  The symmetry of both was noticeably off (probably a poor rating). 

I can post a side by side comparison of the recut in its setting next to its twin in the original setting.  It's quite exciting!

I would love to see the before and afters too!  The recut looks gorgeous.
