Couldn't resist sharing a pic of my new diamond..err..perhaps not really mine

Not as nice as the photos at GoG but not bad for an amature....

Many thanks to this site/group and all of the excellent information and friendly folks. The vendors listed here are all amazing as well. You all helped me go from a neophyte to semi-intelligent person capable of making a sound buying decision.

Now off to get a setting for it.......

Acanuck, congratulations!

Try to put it on direct sunlight or use a flash. It'll put more flashes on the picture.

Thanks,

Here are the details -

1.018 carat
AGS Ideal 0
6.54mm -6.56mm x 3.95mm
Color : I
Clarity : SI1
Table - 57%
Depth - 60.3%
Crown Ang - 34.8
Pav Ang - 40.8

I just paid for a solitaire 4 prong cathedral setting with a square shank in platinum. My fiance really wants a square bottom ring - I've been told Problem is nobody seemed to have one 'off the shelf' so I'm having it custom made. Should be done in a couple of weeks, can't wait. Cost - $800 plus tax.

I'll have to try some direct sunlight pictures, unfortunately my apartment isn't very sunny

OK, the cathedral setting I picked out is very much like this (although this shows 6 prongs) - imagine a squared bottom. Opinions ?

Very classy. I like the shoulders of the ring. Different. Elegant.
