The only thing is that on the date of the cert on the top left ( on the website ) was missing and when I got the cert, it was dated 2004. Don't know if it's a big deal to get a diamond with a 4 year old cert. What do you think? Here are some pics. Gonna propose this week!

It doesn't seem like a big deal to me, but standards may have changed in 4 years, so it mihjt be graded a little differently now. But, if you like the way it looks, who cares? As for the fiber... just have the ring cleaned before you give it to her if your worried about everything looking perfect. Good luck with your engagement!! Give us some hand shots!!

gemgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,532 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/8/2003	Very pretty ring and very nice stone. Good luck with the proposal! I wouldn't worry about the fuzzy. She can swipe it out with a baby toothbrush when she cleans her ring. I don't think I've ever gotten a new ring without a few fuzzies. It happens during the setting process.

nabwong Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 7/13/2008 Member Since: 6/23/2008	Thanks for the nice comments. I just got my beginner's ideal scope today. It was kinda hard to analyze what I saw because 1. The diamond is already set - I don't know if this affects the outcome 2. I probably don't have the right light - I used my table lamp and tried to diffuse it with paper 3. Can't compare with other stones - cos this is my first Anyway, under all these circumstances, the overall color was more pinkish than reddish. The table part of the stone was slightly lighter than the outer part, so I guess my stone, according to idealscope is a little deeper ( got a HCA of 1.5 ). I could also see the arrows, though not perfectly symmetrical. The good news is that I could not find the inclusions using this 6x scope. I tried for 10 mins and gave up. I have a 10x and 20x loupe coming. So maybe I can find it then; hopefully not though.

jstarfireb Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,157 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 3/24/2007	Beautiful ring, and I don't think you have much to worry about with the stone. But...is it me or does the head look like it's rotated a few degrees clockwise compared with the band? I'm not sure if that's noticeable in person, but I would try to have it corrected before you propose. ************************** "In the end, I wonder if the true movement of the world might not be a voice raised in song." -Muriel Barbary

nabwong Rough Rock Total Posts: 30 Last Post: 7/13/2008 Member Since: 6/23/2008	Thanks for the comments! You know what, I love how the ring looks on her finger. I'm quite convinced I got what I wanted. She's also very happy with it. I proposed to her during the fireworks finale at the 4th of July celebration in Boston. Her office overlooks the charles river, so we had a perfect view and it was nice, cozy and private. I haven't had time to take handshots but I will try to. She's rushing to finish her thesis, which is due in a week. The head does look slightly rotated, doesn't it. I'm gonna have to return it to have it resized, so I think I will ask JA to correct the alignment. I got a 10x and 20x scope recently but I'm struggling to find the inclusions. Maybe I'm just a novice and don't know how to do it. Anyway, we'll be getting the diamond appraised next week, so I'm sure they'll be able to show me where the inclusions are. :)
