Wow, it is huge! I bet is sparkles like crazy.

Wow! That''s GINORMOUS (Gigantic/Enormous) lol but it''s lovely. I bet it''s bigger than Angelina Jolie''s Emerald ring at the 2009 oscar''s.

...Is it natural & untreated? size/dimensions please...

 

[yssie]

Wow! Huge doesn't begin to cover it!!



I like the shape! You must get a lot of attention wearing it around

Wow that''s some serious bling! I bet it outshines many diamonds (due to the sheer size...)

 

[catwalk82]

yes, it sparkles like crazy. It hasn''t gotten much wear since I got married. I am thinking about having it converted into a pendant. it is so big that I really have to focus on not bumping it on anything when I wear it on my finger.

It was a present from an aunt who worked for a jewelry designer. I know that it is somewhere in the 20 carat range and has a width of 1.6 cm or 16 mm...whichever measurement you prefer. To my knowledge, it is untreated. I know he bought the stone rough and cut it and designed the mounting. He got lucky with getting a huge piece of rough that looked so nice and retained much of its size!

It''s got quite a nice color for an untreated one.

P. S. Yesterday I saw a clip from some talk-show (aired probably 20+ years ago) where guest was The Liz and she wore the Taylor Burton diamond in a freakin'' ring! So much for your stone being too large for a ring

20 ct. & untreated? Oh my, I envy you

Been wanting an untreated nice blue topaz lately... And yours is just yummy and overwhelmingly huge.

It is a very cool stone, I bet it is stunning in person. To be honest, I don''t think the six-prong setting sets it off as well as a setting where the prongs are more in a square or octagonal arrangement would. Using it as a pendant would allow you to do something really cool with it, I think!

 

[Bella_mezzo]

WOW! That would make really cool pendant!

 

[Burberrygirl]

Wow!!! It''s gorgeous, I love big, statement pieces.
