Thanks for everyone's help, just got my ring from James Allen. I really don't know anything but it's sparkly and even though it's a J, I can't see any color at all. I really can't see anything, no blemishes or tinge of yellow that I read about... it's pretty. Nice size I think, so it can be worn daily without being impractical.

Jennifer Norbury was really good and accomidating. They did forget some things I specifically asked for but I'll call her tomorrow about it. no big deal.

Really, thanks so much everyone. It turned this potentially disasterous purchase into something fun and educational. Now just waiting for the big day to pop the question! I'll get it independently appraised in the meantime.

this is a H&A ideal cut... but you could tell me it's a fur&kitty paws.. I can't really tell. I haven't seen enough diamonds to judge. Maybe I'll put it next to a crappy diamond to compare.

Beautiful! I loooooove J colour stones, I just think they are so pretty , and I loooooooove ideal cut H&A!! Good choice! You may not know it from fur&kitty paws, but when it is sparkling like crazy on her finger, and you see all the other "diamonds" dead on people's fingers... THEN you will know!

One suggestion: buy her an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for a present after you give it to her... those machines keep a diamonds sparkling like you wouldn't believe, and that's what it's all about!

Thanks everyone, you guys can really tell it's a nice diamond from the pics? It's reassuring.

I went for the H&A b/c CUT is the most important right? You can see all the stats on the diamond in my thread in the Rockytalk section.

I was going to get the PAVE ring to add some bling but my underground secret intelligence told me she preferred the classic simple ring I have the right ring size too I have laid the groundwork so she thinks I'm a cheapo and might not even get a diamond ring... on V day?! are you crazy? These things take time!

The GIA says "excellent" for cut. There is nothing that says "H&A"... is that just something you see and not written down?

I'll get a hand shot but I'm never telling her about this place- that would qualify me as the dumbest man of 2008.

You did good - congrats to you!!!  And we would love some handshots when you can!

Fur and Kitty paws is another fave combo of mine, hehehe!!!









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

Fab job! It's a great diamond. And t-r-u-s-t me, when you see that rock next to a piece of crap in a store or restaurant or whatever, you will be able to tell! Just watch the fire and sparkle fly off it, and see how dead most other stones are.

She'll be thrilled. And make sure you explain how special and rare her stone is.

AWESOME STONE and setting, you did good! 

I just ordered my H&A from James Allen last week, in the same setting.  I am patiently awaiting my purchase!

Please come back and post hand pics!
