Yay! I'm finally back from vacation where I was proposed to in a garden in a chateau in Wine Country... so happy!

This is my first diamond I have ever owned and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I had my heart set on an I color VS1 or VS2 until one night I was surfing through Jon's GOG videos and watched a video of the near colorless range of diamonds and saw that J's look very beautiful and there is a huge price jump between I and J color. I found a beautiful J colored ACA and decided to jump on it! I've been driving my new FIANCE crazy looking at it in every light and shoving it into his face. It is so BRIGHT and WHITE and in some lights the crazy colorful lights getting thrown off it are unreal. I can't really see the color much IRL but sometimes in photos I've taken I definitely see color from the side.

I love the setting and the size of the diamond. I know many people have the swan and I looked at a ton of photos before officially choosing it as my setting but I have to say that no photos truly do it justice! Vatche is truly amazing and the WF ACA is magnificent! :appl:

Diamond details:
Item Code AGS-104052320002
Category A CUT ABOVE®
Shape Round
Carat 1.304
Color J
Clarity VS2
Cut Ideal
Depth % 61.3
Table % 56.6
Crown Angle 34.9
Star 51.0
Pavilion Angle 40.7
Crown % 15.0
Lower Girdle % 77.0
Measurements 7.02x7.06x4.32
Culet Pointed
Fluorescence Negligible
Girdle Thin to Medium Faceted

Setting:
Vatche Swan, Platinum, Size 5
I received the plastic ring sizers from eweddingbands because I didnt like the adjustible sizers and was fairly certain that size 5 would be perfect but I'm finding the ring to be quite loose at times. I don't necessarily want to send it back for sizing yet as it is the middle of winter but I wonder if in the winter I'm closer to a 4.75.

GORGEOUS!!!

I would wait to resize for a few weeks. You can always also add sizing balls. When you add a wedding band it will push up your finger a little and be snugger.

Congratulations on your engagement - so romantic!

Now... about that ring.... YOWZERS!!! :appl: :love: :appl: It looks HUGE on your hand - much larger than what I'd imagine a 1.3 to look like! That setting is so beautiful - I love the fluid movement of the swan setting (solitaire and the 3 stone) and with that stone, oh my ... words aren't enough.

GORGEOUS!

Thanks everyone! And might I add that the "diamond toolkit" that WF includes with their diamonds is awesome! I've been using the H&A viewer not only to take a look at the arrows but it also gives an incredible magnified view of the diamond when you look at the diamond with a slight angle, so cool!!!

Beautiful! :love: I love Vatche settings and ACA's, of course! I would also not size in the winter and also not until you choose a wedding band. As Ame said, it will fit more snugly once you wear a wedding band.

I haven't seen that setting before - It's fantastic! Great choice. Love the circles and the little diamonds on the basket. Great choice and congrats on your engagement, it sounds really romantic!

Few more shots-- I love looking at lots and lots of pics on my fave threads so I figure I'll just keep going until someone yells at me, "please, no more!" :Up_to_something:
