The center stone in this pic is a 3.095 E VS2 H&A AGS000 purchased from Good Old Gold this past May. The setting is a three sided Michael B setting with 158 diamonds weighing approximately 1.75 carats for a TCW of 4.8 carats. My fiance, Karen, is only 25 (i am 26), but really pulls this stone off well and wears it every day. Being from Manhattan she has a number of friends with rings in the 4 - 6 carat (center stone) range but most of these diamonds are not ideal cut H&A AGS000 stones. We chose to sacrifice size for quality. Its really a personal call but I personally thought the 4 carats looked too big. 3.1 carats was a perfect size. She is 5ft 6, 110 lbs and has long fingers. And we love the E color! Also, i was looking at SI1 stones but was a little uncomfortable going with an SI1 in such a large stone. The specs on the stone are as follows:


Shape: Round Brilliant
Size: 3.095 Carat
Color: E
Clarity: VS2

AGS Ideal O
Hearts & Arrows
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Proportions: Ideal
Isee2 Analysis - 9.7/10
Brilliance Scope Analysis:
White Light: High
Color Light: Very High
Scintillation: Very High

Total depth: 61%
Table size: 56.2%
Crown Angle: 34.5
Pavillion Angle: 40.9
Pavillion Depth: 43.1
Culet Size - .4% - Very Small
Girdle Min: 1.2% - Thin
Girdle Max: 1.8% - Sl. Thick
Girdle Avg: 1.5% - Medium




HCA score - 1.5




I promise to post more pics when i have a chance to take them.

FYI - i posted this in response to someones inquiry regarding 3 ct. stones on Rocky Talky. I thought i would post the two pics here as well because i haven't had the chance to take any pics. Big thanks to Jonathan from GOG, Bill Pearlman from Pearlman Jewelers, Valeria 101, LOP, researcher, Dave Atlas and moremoremore. Without you guys this creation would not have been possible.

OK, wait. You can actually get rings like this?? I thought the only places you could find pieces this stunning were in the Tower of London and on JFlo's hand!

Gorgeous ring lenhejo!! Congratulations on your engagement! I'd be willing to bet your fiancee's ring far outcompetes the 4-6ct's around her with all the sparkles and rainbows that are shooting off her hand! Speaking of hands....

Holy Crap!! It's HUGE! And beautiful!

What circle of 26 year olds have 4-6 carat rings, that’s what I want to know! And that’s not sarcasm, that’s ENVY!! J

Beautiful choice. Lovely setting, and GORGEOUS STONE!! J
Congrats!

O..........MY.........GOD!!!!!!

That ring is to die for!!! Being form N.Y.C. area and working there I can understand the need for a large carat size ering. I'm 27 and my friends are all into the size thing too at least 2 carats or larger. I don't think you sacrifice size at all w/ a setting like that and a beautifully cut stone. The setting and stone on your ring is just unbelievable. Good luck to the two of you. CONGRADULATIONS!

Impressive ring. Congratulations!
I'm looking forward to the on hand photos.

Wasn't there someone here with a 5 carat stone? I never got to see the pics of that one, does someone have a link?

As said before, stunning. I definitely agree that this will outclass AND outshine a 4-6c ring...and 'sacrificing' for cut doesn't look like it hurt one bit. Congrats and MORE PIX!
