Definitely an early ideal cut/American cut IMO. The crown and depth and paviolion are all very similar to an MRB, but the lower halves are very short and the table a little smaller, plus the bruted/frosted girdle and the small/medium culet. When I was starting my three-stone reset, I was looking for diamonds of this make -- the same make as my 1.89ct -- for side stones. I could not locate any and was told it was a needle in a haystack situation. So again, a very rare make. Color looks more tinted than an L, but that could just be the lighting. It doesn't much matter, though. With these smaller old cuts, cut is King, and it sounds like you bought on the secondary market anyway.
Some would also call this make a European cut. *shrug* it doesn't matter what you call it though.
Here are a bunch of PS diamonds on this make:
Nice find! What will you do with it?
Thank-You for all the info it's such an interesting topic,
The Pics are amazing although my favourite is yours - The Chunkier Arrows are just irresistible What a Treasure!!
Yes it does look quite tinted side on, I did take the photos under Warm Spotlights too I'm not overly sensitive to colour although I don't think I'd go past Q/R - I do like the Pastel Shades that I see in the Stone but I'm unsure if that's because of the Lower Colour Bracket or Facet Structure... I'm unsure what to do I was thinking of a Ring, A Right Hand Ring - Yellow Gold, I was thinking of perhaps some tapered Baguettes flanking it, I'd love to hear your suggestions, I think you have amazing taste much better than mine!
My last question did I grab it for a Good Price I paid £500 or $600, It's hard to find good price comparisons in the UK for similar stones, I used to order from the States quite a bit but the £ is sooo weak at the min so when you pay the Duty & Tax here you aren't making much of a difference now saving wise.
