cwj Cut Rock Total Posts: 366 Last Post: 3/30/2009 Member Since: 2/18/2008	I think it would look great in the bezel pendant! I love mine. But its not the stock bezel at WF, its a full bezel shaved down. I was concerned about the mickey mouse ears, because in everybodys pictures they look so big, but in real life I can't tell them from the links in the chain (looking w/old eyes). I did ask for small ones. Hope this helps. cwj

wawatu Rough Rock Total Posts: 63 Last Post: 10/28/2008 Member Since: 3/24/2008	another option is to sell it for upgrade. the diamond is not GIA and i am not buying the new diamond from the original store, what % discount do you think is reasonable? the new diamond store says he usually gives 100% for GIA upgrade bought at his store, or 15% off rapaport for GIA returns for diamonds bought at his store. he's willing to buy my diamond but what do you think is a reasonable price% discount? thanks everyone amers

Just curious Wawa, have you reversed the depth and table measurements? 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... - Stephanie M Thorn

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	I don't know the answer because my original F color 1 ct. diamond is also sitting in a drawer! Since learning about ideal cut stones and owning some, I just don't want to use that stone for a piece of jewery! My thought is to give it to one of my kids when they decide to get engaged or else make a pendant for one of them since they are not interested in diamond cut! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

I had a stone with a huge girdle and a lousy cut all around that really bothered me. For several hundred dollars I had it recut. It lost some of its weight but it's such an improvement I don't miss the old cut at all. Then I had it set in a WF pendant. It's not easy to resell a stone. It wasn't very difficult at all to get mine recut. http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=79859

angel777 Cut Rock Total Posts: 118 Last Post: 9/1/2008 Member Since: 8/8/2006	maybe you can get it re-cut by 8*? I don't know much about this, but read somewhere before that you can do this. Then you would have a beautifully performing super-ideal diamond that you can put into a pendant.

jewelrychic1 Rough Rock Total Posts: 15 Last Post: 4/12/2008 Member Since: 4/9/2008	There are so many great things you can do with a round brilliant diamond. Why not a right hand ring? I wouldn't suggest buying another diamond for studs, though. A pendant is a good idea too, but what will you wear the most? Make sure whatever you decide to do with it, you enjoy it and wear it everyday. Let us know what you decide. "Jewelry is my obsession"

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	I think Danhov is fine. You might want to take a look at Pearlman's site, too, since they carry so many designers. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
