Brian Gavin can re-cut my diamond...what to do with it?

[renogirl]

Got word that Brian Gavin can turn my 1ct "ugly duckling" into a .90ct "beautiful swan" (his words)!!!!!

He's provided the re-cut specs:

6.26mm x 6.26mm x 3.81mm
Table 57.5%
Depth 60.8%
Crown Angle 33.8
Pavilion Angle 40.9
Girdle 3.3%

Oh, and it's an H color, SI2

So...what should I have him do with it? I really want to decide and have him set it and send me the finished product...saves on shipping that way!

I'm thinking maybe a pendant, as I don't have one. Right hand ring??? I already have BGD signature 1ctw diamond studs that I got about three months ago, and they are plenty big on me.

What do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What items do you wear most? What's your style?

I would do a pendant. 0.90 ct for a pendant sounds super lovely.

I love their martini pendant setting:

Or the bezel one. A lot of people added milgrain to it.

Hi Addy,

I wear 1ctw studs almost every day - I sometimes wear a necklace or pendant. In the past I've only worn my wedding ring and no other rings...so I was wondering if I would like a right hand ring. Was thinking of a three stone with yellow sapphire pears on the sides - but not sure.

My new upgrade is an AVC set in Victor Canera's platinum Sophia, but it doesn't look totally antique because my center stone is an I, so it leans a little more contemporary, which I feel suites me quite well.

Thanks for your input

I should also add that my studs are set in WG, 3 prong martini

Woohoo! I'd also do a pendant. Few things are classier than a diamond solitaire pendant.

How about a right hand ring three stone? One of my fave looks for a RHR. He can likely call in sides that match the new cut if H&As don't.

I would definitely pick a pendant.

I say right hand ring. I would want to see it and the idea of yellow sapphire pears is very appealing to me! It allows you to play with it a bit more and to see it all the time. You put much more description into the items you wear on your fingers than the items you wear on your ears and your pendants and necklaces.

It's a personal preference but I would do a RHR.
I have a 1ct pendant and I hardly ever wear it because I just don't like anything hanging around my neck. Only wear it for special occassions.

I'm going to go with the right hand ring as well. The yellow sapphires sound lovely, and you could always add some scroll work to give the three stone a more antique look wich I think would be gorgeous.

You can always buy a .50 pendant later on to match your earrings.

How about something like this... with the center "petal" a yellow pear and a better transition to the center stone?

 

[renogirl]

Thanks everyone for all the advice - still kind of undecided.

Gypsy: That ring is really lovely...kind of what I had in mind if I went that way

I'd do a pendant in a a halo...that would have the 'wow' factor!
