Hello,

I told my husband of 34 years that if I was going to get a larger diamond that we should do it now and not wait until next year for our 35th, that diamonds were going up in price and that it was foolish to wait :Up_to_something:

So, here it is an L, VS2, 1.87 Super Ideal Infinity cut from High Performance diamonds. Wink Jones is a doll to work with and knows his diamonds. I highly recommend him for your diamond needs. I told him I wanted a warm colored diamond, but a previous purchased K was to brown for me.

This L is wonderful, no brown what so ever, faces up white even next to G, H, I and J, cut does really matter.

By the way I put it next to my bosses 2.25 E at work and boss liked mine much better.

Here is a link to the video of the diamond and some pictures I took at work of it. I will post better pictures of it when time permits.

Enjoy.

Congratulations on your anniversary and on your lovely new diamond ring. Crafted by Infinity are truly awesome stones, as you well know. I love my little sparkler (I have a .7 ct). Great choice! :appl:

My anniversary is Sept. 24.

How did you take such a good picture of you diamond on your avatar?

I can see the arrows in my diamond but I can't take a picture of it.

I agree about Wink, is was wonderful to work with, no pressure from him at all.

Oops, I said my new stone was a Super Ideal, not sure where I got that from but according to the AGS Cert it is Ideal.

Sorry for the mis-quote.

Oh, Mary, taking diamond pictures is SO hard, I think! Thanks! That one was taken with just a Canon automatic camera with the macro on, my hand was facing away from the sun. That is the most important thing to have the light but not have it in the direct sunlight. My best picture of it is in the link below (several pics down) and you can see how it is pointing away from the sun. But I don't have a lot of patience to really take good pictures!

Our anniversary is Dec. 26th, so we got married very close to the same time!

Dear Mary,

Many people refer to the Hearts and Arrows quality cut diamonds as "Super Ideal" cuts. The highest grade that AGS gives is Ideal so in common practice you did not mis-quote.

Although Paul's stones show a Hearts and Arrows Pattern, Paul says that is a side affect of his precise cutting, not a goal in and of itself.
