CALLING ''SHIMMER''....

[CushionNovice]

HELLO!
Recently you replied to a post of mine regarding AVC''swith:

I have owned a 1.09 (6.2x5. and 1.3 (6.6x6.5) AVC, and would agree with CCN that the AV cushions are ideal in the 1.2+ range.

I was wondering if you had any pics of both rings? I would love to see the size difference and if you thought it was quite noticeable.

PS - Was looking at your wedding pics... GORGEOUS!

Thanks so much

Hi! I have to post quick but yes, I did notice a fairly substantial difference in size between the two! Here's the 1.09. Thank you for the compliment on my wedding pics! Made my day!

And the 1.3!

Both are August Vintage Cushions from GOG, the 1.09 is L color VS-1 clarity, the 1.3 is J color, SI-1 clarity. I will post the links too. Did you decide on yours yet?

Shimmer - both diamonds look huge on your slender fingers! I am surprised to see such a big difference between .2 ct.

Thanks so much... I''ve decided to go for the F S12... CRAZY.. but I know I will regret not going whiter... no chance of an upgrade later.. I haven''t seen it yet so I will keep you posted. (Looks a very similar size to yours - so it''s a really good reference for me) Did you notice the color differnce a lot going from L TO J?

 

[shimmer]

I'm so glad you went with the larger stone, you will LOVE it! I had to go back and look at it

I did notice a huge difference in color from L to J. I think the ranges are wider in the lower colors but I didn't expect such a difference. My next will be a higher color though as I love the side view of the AVC and was always bothered a little by the slight tint.

ETA: thank you Charmy! I was shocked by the size difference too, and those pictures are quite accurate to what I saw IRL!

Oh i love it how so many people jump on and offer their pics. I especially love to see them going to new homes... They must love getting picked up and taking to new enviroments

Funny I have looked at your pics recently and I even got some OPI dark nail polish because I liked your so much.
I hope I love mine when it comes ''down under'' (Australia)
Have a lovely Easter!

Oh how funny! And also a bit terrible because my nails were over a week old and looked awful when I took those pictures! But I just KNOW you will love your AVC when you get it, and I hope you like your nail polish as well!!! Have a wonderful Easter!
