OK, so I took a deep breath and posted this. I have been torturing @jaq with this decision. So here it goes:

I love this diamond more than any diamond I have ever seen. The original I recut was an "I" color, but it had this peachy background color to it. I was obsessed! but it was 7.62 carats and the MRB was expensive AND Southwest charges by the START carat weight so it was even more money to recut it. I did it anyway and I absolutely LOVE it. But i don't wear it because I love my ha'o setting so much

The diamond is gorgeous, it flickers with pastels. It is so perfect to me. That said, i only wear my halo. I LOVE my halo setting. So I thought that I would switch out the 2 diamonds and then sell the solitaire with the other diamond for a lower price... because I have NEVER seen another diamond with this peach tint, yellow yes, grey yes, NEVER saw a peach and trust me I have looked at THOUSANDS of MRBs....

however, switching it will take a few weeks, I would have to mail David BOTH rings, this diamond is slightly bigger and I would have to take all new pictures and I am worried about messing up my halo setting because its so perfect and was made for the other diamond and i worry mailing them both together losing them sending back and forth. SO... I decided to take a deep breath and post this. YES, the price is on the higher side for a lab, but I PAID soooo much for it between the original MRB and the recut AND emotionally, I just cant let it go for less, to me it's worth what i originally actually paid an now I am selling at a 40% discount. I will not sell loose, it comes complete in the setting. Currently a size 4.5 but I am sure David or a local jeweler can size it if you need it resized. The ONLY reason I am selling it is to make it hassle free for me, otherwise I will switch out the diamonds and keep this diamond.

Here's the deal, if it doesnt sell in a week, I AM going to switch the diamonds (the other one is gorgeous too, but this one is just.... perfection to me and one of a kind with that background color).

Here's the original Loupe360 so you can see the background color: https://loupe360.com/diamond/LG600356964/video/500/500

If i put it on a white paper I can see the hint of peach, but I dont see it while wearing it

Here's the thread I did on it: https://www.pricescope.com/communit...t-recut-7-64-ct-mrb-to-5-69-carat-oec.284181/

$7500, whole ring, i will not separate stone and setting (if I take the diamond out I am keeping it LOL)
Like I said, if it doesnt sell, then I will switch out the diamonds and relist with all new pics and new info
I DID NOT recertify it, but I have the original IGI and the Sarine from Southwest

Oh, K, no! Unless you are really, really sure ( and it doesn’t sound like you are), can you take a time out and think about it? It’s just so perfect. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.:oops2:
 
Wait! You didn’t tell me you were selling the Peach Princess!!! Someone has to get this ring, it checks every single box!
 
WHAT???!?! I can’t believe you are listing one of your crown jewels!!! She’s gorgeous… I’m impressed you’ve kept the listing up this long! Oh someone is going to have an incredible ring! :kiss2:
 
This ring is out of this world gorgeous!! Dust for a quick sale (or not so you can keep it for yourself).
 
Wait! You didn’t tell me you were selling the Peach Princess!!! Someone has to get this ring, it checks every single box!

UG I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I guess I figured its not that I dont love the Halo diamond, because I do, its just if this one is a 10 that one is like a 9.5 LOL!

So I figured Id throw it out there and see if anyone wanted it because it will be like a month of jockeying the diamonds around AND having to take all new pics.... It just isnt worth it!

Honestly now that I actually listed it I feel good about it, like, the decision is made after months of back and forth over it!

I know, i really feel good about it now, like i said the hassle isnt worth it and i DO love the halo diamond, i just love this diamond a little more, but i want less complication in life right now and i really need to sell a few things because of the bracelets LOL

I know... you're right! And i thought i'd panic and pull this listing but I am actually really good with it! I slept instead of stressing over what to do last night! LOL
