Got a little upgrade ... but what’s this inclusion?

[the_mother_thing]

The packaging looked a bit rough when it arrived, which had me nervous.

 

[the_mother_thing]

I mean, come ON ... that’s unacceptable, right?

 

[the_mother_thing]

Trying to look beyond the packaging ...

 

[the_mother_thing]

At least there’s some cushiony protection ...

 

[the_mother_thing]

I see arrows, but is this cut too deep or too shallow? Is that a fisheye?

 

[the_mother_thing]

I think I’m gonna need a bigger ASET scope for this to confirm light return.

 

[the_mother_thing]

And I definitely need help identifying this inclusion and whether it poses a structural concern; anyone?

 

[the_mother_thing]

Of course, setting suggestions are welcome ... if it’s deemed ‘a keeper’. Maybe a candidate for recut?

Scarlett Johanson cannot compete with your new bling!

 

[Starfacet]

I say halo it.

Pretty sure a python-looking shank will ensure I one-up her ER!

 

[metall]

I think it'll look nice in a three stone setting...or perhaps a Moi et Toi

 

[the_mother_thing]

Ehhh screw it ... I’ll just keep it for a paper-weight. I mean, even with its flaws and sub-par cut, it’s still cleaner & outperforms that mess at Kay’s yesterday!

 

[Rockdiamond]

Looks like a .02ct stone- soooo tiny!!!
I hate grading Meleé

 

[lambskin]

Id halo it!

Shifter knob.

But a very classy one.

Not just one of these for $18...

I suppose I can keep a bottle of Lavish jewelry cleaner in the car with a microfiber ...

@the_mother_thing!

Maybe order another one and do earrings...

 

[the_mother_thing]

Gave it a cleaning, and I think these inclusions would fall into the category of a feather and “additional clouds not shown”. Looks to have a little body color to it as well, but I don’t mind; it really disperses some gorgeous prismatic fire when the light hits it!





A little windowing/light leakage:



But a nice tall crown with a faceted girdle!


I have an appraisal appt in a week; think I will lug this in with me for laughs, just to see her face.

 

[Rockdiamond]

OMG- I just spotted this- please, read this carefully!!
That's a feather!!!
A feather is actually a crack- and that diamond is likely to explode if you don't handle it carefully!!



( cough cough)

 

[anangel]

OMG- hilarious! Needed that today. Thanks for the unboxing

Surely it’s GemEx report will have the inclusion details.

 

[Starfacet]

We need handshots!

 

[canuk-gal]

I say halo it.

ba da boom!

 

[cflutist]

Beautiful, but it looks like it has a 70% table.
Mine on the other hand, has a 54% table (notice how it bows in), a high crown, but an abraded culet.
$2 from Hobby Lobby,

 

[whitewave]

I’d make it the middle stone of a three stone.

Okay, but please excuse the smaller piddly diamond in the picture, and my unmanicured hands. And I’m under a taupe colored canopy which is throwing the color off a bit.


@cflutist Yours appears to have a better cut than mine, which does have a honkin’ big table. It’s heavy, weighing a full pound. I think I’d like to get a couple of them, maybe even in different colors, just for a pretty display on my desk. I have a couple of sun catchers with different colors that capture the light coming in through the window. Do you recall by chance if HL had a variety of colors & sizes?

Beautiful! It looks so huge in your hand! I can't wait to see how you set it! (Have I missed any typical responses to people's new stones? )

 

[Austina]

Definitely a pendant project (assuming you have no neck, shoulder or back issues!)

I think ‘well THAT certainly has presence’ would be appropriate.
