I just wanted to make a quick listing to all pricescope forum readers to let you guys & gals know that I just got engaged and I am in bliss. I couldn't have made it here without pricescope's information, listings, and education. After educating myself for almost three months I finally made the purchase of a .81ct F SI1 Queen of Hearts diamond in a classic tiffanies setting. The blank knock-off came with the newer contempory V-prong (picture frame corners) head to firmly set square shapes. I think it shows too much metal, but my jeweler was happy to split the prongs with his buzz saw and rework the head so that from top-down view, you see double-prongs, much like a deer's hove (spelling?), but the the up-posts are still one piece. I need to take a picture still... its beautiful. I just wanted to add my suggestion for all you Southern Californian shoppers. My first business contact was with Jonathan at GOG in New York. What a great guy and a great website, I would never hestitate to refer anyone to GOG for a respectable business venture. But I wanted the long term investment of a local jeweler, so I made for the Jewerly District in Los Angeles. What a joke, I'm sure that there are some good people out there, but with over 300 stores, good luck finding one. I went three times with referals, didnt like the atmosphere. I ran into so much confusion over the correct cut dimensions of a brilliant princess I finally gave up and decided to invest the extra money into buying a branded diamond, the Queen of Hearts by Cary Horowitz, (funny there's now a commercial for it on pricescope homepage). It was a good decision. I'm close to Riverside, and I emailed Cary for a retailer anywhere from San Diego to Ventura. I was directed to Fine Jewelry Works in Ventura owned and operated by George Fox a good man who doesn't even check his email or know about this forum! Much like Jonathan at GOG, George never once made the experience a pressure buy and was always upfront about his inventory and was willing to work around budgets. The man is a traditional jeweler, GIA academy, and custom metal smith to create any dream piece for his customers. I just want to make people aware that I think he is a great jeweler to go to if you are looking for one. His phone number is (805) 648-3747, I believe I can list that kind of information here. I learned so much from pricescope, just wanted to let people know what I found out in return. -Justin, trying to get pictures online soon, by the way the Queen of Hearts if beautiful and a frickin discoball!

Congratulations!!! I cannot wait to see pitures of it, too. I am so indicisive on picking out a favorite shape for myself. I am dying to see the "isee2 square" coming out, but I also want to see a regeant, flanders, lucere, and your queen of hearts. There are lots of pictures on the web, but I have heard they don't do justice to the stones. It does help to see personal post on the forum in different settings on someone's hand though, it's so exciting looking at such georgeous rocks!
