I''ve been lurking on this forum for a while now learning as much as I can about diamonds and e-rings. I was originally planning on buying an e-ring in March/April but found a really great diamond on GOG and took the plunge today.
Here are the stats on the diamond:
Shape: Round (H&A)
Carat Weight: 1.31ct
Color: E
Clarity: VS2
GIA Cut Grade: Excellent
AGS Light Performance: Ideal
Optical Symmetry: Superior
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Culet: None
Width: 7.02mm
Length: 7.05mm
Depth: 4.35mm
Table Percentage: 56.22%
Depth Percentage: 61.82%
Crown ∠: 34.40°
Crown Depth: 15.00%
Pavilion ∠: 40.90°
Pavilion Depth: 43.20%
The diamond scores a 1.5 on the HCA and gets a "triple very high" on Gemex. I think it''s going to be a fantastic looking stone!
I''ve ordered it in a Mark Morrell Flame solitaire platinum setting without the "surprise" stones. I haven''t gotten a time frame on when it will be completed but I''m assuming it will be about 6 weeks.
Now for the hard part...asking her to marry me!
Ironic that 10 minutes after making the purchase we got in a huge fight (and we never fight). That will be a fun story to tell when I actually give her the ring!
Just wanted to say thanks to all the members on this board for providing an invaluable resource to guys like me who like to make informed and educated purchasing decisions but really don''t know what the heck we are doing!
