Mariposa Cut Rock Total Posts: 119 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 2/20/2008	My grandmother left this to me in her will. I've had it for quite awhile now. All I know about it is that it is over 100 years old, the diamonds are old-mine cut, 2 carats (approx) total weight and the setting is platinum. One of the stones is chipped and I'm not sure whether I should have it polished out or if I should try to replace it. Anyway, this is my place-holder bling until my VC comes back with my new diamond!!! Mariposa

somehowcollide Ideal Rock Total Posts: 830 Last Post: 6/22/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2008	Oooh, I've never seen a setting like that! What a beautiful heirloom piece. My family has always been big on collecting gold, but not diamonds. I must say that I am envious, in the most good-natured way, of all you girls with the invaluable heirlooms. But I stand to inherit a lot of 24k, though It looks really great on you Mariposa, how nice that you have so many lovely, interchangeable pieces! I know a man who is a diamond cutter.

somehowcollide Ideal Rock Total Posts: 830 Last Post: 6/22/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2008	Mariposa, these last shots are even more beautiful! But you've always been a wiz with the camera, I can't wait to see the sunny pics. Sorry if you've mentioned this already and I missed it, but do you practice photography professionally? And furthermore, are you available on the weekend of March 7th? I'm getting married... I know a man who is a diamond cutter. He mows the lawn at Yankee Stadium.

thing2of2 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,671 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/1/2007	What a beautiful ring! The diamonds are gorgeous and so is that setting! Not to mention that it's an heirloom-that's so special! P.S. If it were me, I'd probably leave the chipped stone-it just adds character and history, in my opinion!

Mariposa Cut Rock Total Posts: 119 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 2/20/2008	Thank you so much everyone! Somehowcollide - WOW, what a huge compliment. I always thought I was a pretty crappy photographer, I think the quality of my pics have a lot to do with the camera and with the fact that I take about a million pics and then choose maybe two that I like. Anyway, THANKS!! Skippy123 - Thank you, butterflies have taken on a more special, symbolic meaning for me over the past several months. And to think, I originally chose that name because it happens to be my husband's favorite Spanish word! diamondseeker2006 - I'm actually upgrading (to a small degree) the center stone in my engagement ring. I'm going from a 0.52 E Si1 ACA to a 0.58 D VS1 ACA. I've always wanted a D color diamond and I'm also thrilled about the improved clarity!!! Also, once my chemo's over, I will be getting a new VC beauty to commemorate the event! Who says cancer is ALL bad!!?? Thanks again, everyone!! Mariposa
