vespergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,937 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/29/2007	Hi everyone! I finally picked up my upgrade diamond yesterday! Because my new custom Precision Set setting won't be in for a couple of weeks, they just forced it into my old Verragio setting for now - since this setting is made for 1.5 ct stone, the prongs are kind of wonky, but I just couldn't wait to get pics of the new diamond up! I just love it! I don't have any good sunny outdoor pictures yet - I'll post a bunch more once the stone is in it's pretty new setting after Xmas - enjoy! Here are the specs: Round brilliant - 2.01 cts Measurements: 8.15 - 8.09 x 4.99 mm Color: G Clarity: SI1 Depth: 61.5% Table width: 57% Crown height: 15% Pavilion depth: 43% Girdle: Thin, faceted Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Excellent Culet: None Graining: Nil Flourescence: None Comments: 8 Hearts & 8 Arrows HCA score: 1.2

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."

vespergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,937 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/29/2007	One last thing - I just wanted to mention that I'm really glad that I went with a solitaire look - it's really making the stone pop! I just can't stop staring at it! In fact, if I didn't have to order a new setting to break even on my trade-in, I may have just kept this setting and changed the head - still though, I can't wait to see the curvy new setting with split prongs! Also, I think a solitaire looks great with my asscher band - I still get asschers on my hand - just little ones! :) Plus, now that I've got a great diamond, I can start a fun band collection like Mary Alaina! ;)

vespergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,937 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/29/2007	Hi everyone! Here a link to a picture of the setting - I couldn't copy a picture. They are customizing it for me - it will have split prongs, and just the basket will have some tiny micropave around it that can only be seen from a side view. I really liked the sleek, curvy look of this solitaire.

vespergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,937 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/29/2007	Hi Mara! I wear a size 5, so it looks pretty big on my hand. The link to the new Precision Set setting is a couple of posts back - I couldn't copy the pic from their site. It's a split-prong solitaire with a little micropave around teh basket - I can't wait to get it, but I'm really enjoying the new stone as is!
