Hello All,
Well it''s been almost 2 years since my first post here and I cannot thank everyone here enough for all of the help you''ve given me over the past year or so. I''m very ecxited to report that my fiance (he, he I like saying that) Chris, proposed to me a little over a week ago
)
Although I''ve done all the posting and most of the legwork (I sit in front of a computer all day and Chris doesn''t), we searched for the diamond and the setting together. As much as I LOVE surpises, I liked being involved in the diamond/ring selection even more!! I loved getting to look at the diamonds and having us decide which setting we liked (luckily we have similar tastes). We both love the finished prodcut!
We worked with Jonathan and the rest of his wonderful assocuiates from GOG (I''ll talk more about that on the other forum). As you can tell from my screenname, I have always wanted a cushion-cut diamond - ever since I saw a close-up of Ashley Judd''s engagement ring in the February 2001 of Glamour magazine. That was the first I''d ever heard of a cushion-cut diamond and internet searches for ''cushion-cut'' led me to priscope (thank goodness!) It was the shape of the cushion that I loved and I used David Atlas''s simulation tool (the oval with a 45% bulge factor) to figure out the length to width ratio that I was looking for and we finally found a diamond that we thing is perfect, even if it isn''t ''ideal or H&A''s'', it''s definintely what we wanted.
So here are the specs...
.91 ct cushion cut diamond
Clarity: VS2
Color: G
Polish: Very Good
Symmetry: Good
Measuerments: 6.72 x 5.60 x 3.45 mm
Depth: 61.6%
Table: 63%
Girdle: Medium to Thick, faceted
Cutlet: small
length to width ratio: 1.2
I''m attaching two pictures that GOG took for me. They look nice, but in person I think the ring looks a lot better, so sparkly and white and rainbowey all at the same time! So far I think it looks best in low, indirect light (like the light you have in a big train station). I''m having a lot of fun looking at it in all kinda of light, in fact I can''t stop looking at it
I''ll try to post some pictures of the ring on my hand as soon as I get some good ones - even the macro setting just doesn''t seem to do it justice, I''ll have to play with it some more.
Well thanks again for all your help!
