OK, we did the deed -- chose the 1.59 eyeclean Ex/Ex, great optical symmetry though the scopes, 1.2 on the HCA. We picked up the ring last night. I was nervous. My husband was excited.
The salesperson was excited to see it too, and she unwrapped it and said, "Are you happy?" and I looked at it and YES!!! It sparkles, it shines, it has colors...when I move it, it GOES!! The only thing, it looks huge to me (it''s a whole carat larger than my original 30-years-ago stone), but she was laughing and said, Oh, you''ll get used to that pretty easily!
Then she said, That other diamond never made it back.
I was thinking she was going to say it was sold, but no, she said it was STOLEN! She shipped the two other stones back, and when the box arrived, the package had been torn open and that particular diamond (the "firestone" I was thinking about) was taken!!! Too weird...especially when Lorelei just asked me, "How would you feel if someone swiped the smaller stone out from under you?"
I have to admit, it isn''t bothering me at all now. Except, what a totally weird thing to happen!!
Thank you, so much, for all the information and for holding my hand through this, as it were. I am SO GLAD I went with the advice given to me by the experts on this board. Now I have a diamond that looks fabulous. Cut is sooo important -- until now, I had no idea. And this one is eyeclean -- no black inclusion -- and it shoots spectrum rainbows all over the place!!!!
It''s true -- Pricescope ROCKS!! and you people make it happen. Thank you.
