I'm still sitting on this chipped stone trying to decide what to do with it. The insurance company is asking me to decide quickly what sort of claim I would like to go with.
a. purchase another stone the same
b. get the cash
c. get the written down value
I won't be able to get an idealscope delivered before I have to make the claim. Anyways 2.19 ct G vs2. 8.94-8.91x4.94mm. Thats all the specs I have on it. I have heard the term pancake and my jeweller refers to it as a spready stone. The girdle is very thin, hence the chip, and the crown isn't very thick. The stone was purchased early 1999. I don't understand why it shines so if the measurements are so off the norm. One of my girlfriends was given a Lazare stone. She always makes comment on my stone being more sparkly than hers.
This whole insurance saga is really dragging on. I'm deliberating because I'd really love an apple for a watermelon , not an apple for an apple. Yes, I probably could get a better stone with the same carat weight - sorry already I'm suffering shrinkage. Thats comments sounds so pompous. I have also become so practical in the last 3 years that I couldn't cope with the guilt of the $$$ it would cost to get a watermelon.
Someone hand me the maple syrup please..
