I'm surprised that they are not. Wonder why?..diamondseeker2006|1422311600|3822384 said:Of course it isn't rude! I don't mind at all!
This stone is an August Vintage Round from Good Old Gold. It is a specialty cut made like an Old European cut diamond but with excellent/ideal light performance. I don't think AVRs are actually graded for light performance yet, but GOG does provide their own proof of light performance on the site.

I do dearly love the cut of my diamond! I had to go with I color because the three stones in the size range I wanted were all I color! They get them in rarely, so I had to choose from what they had, and I looked at a few in person (had them sent to me).
So while I don't mind telling you my specs, I think the easiest solution is to just look at GOG's inventory of AVRs! See what you think and I'll be glad to help you further!

DS, I think you have the most beautiful diamond. When I'm ready to propose, I'm going to have one of my stones recut to look like yours.

I would agree unless it is an antique style setting. For example, if I found a second hand Van Crayenest setting with a mrb, the first thing I would do is switch out the stone to an AV stone or antique stone. But if it is a modern style setting, then I would get an ideal cut modern round brilliant if below maybe a half carat or so.

Totally. If somehow I found an old orange blossom setting,for example, and it only for a .4 ct stone, I'd only put an avr or similar stone in it, not a MRB. but if I'm getting a Tiffany style solitaire, and my.budget was 2 k like the ops, I'd put my money toward something else.
