ERing - GOG August Cushion in Maytal Hannah Setting

[ambition]

Hello all-

I posted a few times when looking for the diamond and the finished product is here! My plan is to propose to my girlfriend Friday. Details on the ring below.

DIAMOND:
GOG August Vintage Cushion
1.66 ct
F
SI1 (eye clean)

Jonathan was really awesome to work with and very patient. I almost waited to get something in the V clarity but I''m really glad I didn''t because this rock is gorgeous and I haven''t seen anything come through his site since matching. Everything worked out perfectly.

SETTING:
I originally wanted to go with Leon but after talking to him I didn''t get a great vibe. I''d still love to work with him someday, but this didn''t turn out to be the right project. I ended up going with Maytal Hannah and couldn''t be happier! She was great to work with, reasonably priced, and really does exquisite work. The setting was inspired by the Tiffany Legacy sans halo. The appraiser was in awe of the hand work (not to mention the diamond) and noticed a lot of unique things about her work and the ring.

Attached are a few not so great pics. They were taken indoors so there''s not much fire to be seen. Enjoy!

Oh, love the ring. Love the stone!

Great stone, saw this exact one on GOG in the video and it really caught my eye, great pick! I asked you in one of your earlier posts, but figured I''d ask here too: What was the price of this particular diamond?

I too am looking to buy a stone in the very near future and would love one with very similar specs to this one. I hate to ask you the price because I know it''s a private matter, but because you already purchased it that information can no longer be viewed on the GOG website. Thanks a lot, and good luck with the proposal! Great choice!

I would suggest that you email Jonathan in re: to prices and availibility. Inventory is low now but he is in the process of having more cut (variety of sizes and specs). However be advised that there is a wait list.

 

[ambition]

thanks for all the kind words!

estro613 - so that you have some reference, I know it''s helpful, this stone was around $12.5k.

Sizzle - i''m not sure what my girlfriend will wear with it. we''re not to that point yet
