YAAAAAAAAY!!!

I''m so glad I was able to be of some assistance. Looking at diamonds all day is far better than studying.

...although I''m afraid I may soon have to take a vow of internet abstinence

.

Nice choice of setting.

Could the diamond and the ring be any better??? I think NOT! It is going to be perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lalantha]

You were of great assistance!

Best of luck with your studies - hope it all goes well. That setting - the more I look at it, the more I love it.

it''s weird knowing that I have a 2 month wait before I get to see it, but it''ll be great.

Lorelei - your input was invaluable, thanks!

I''ll post more pics as and when I get them. Lesley has promised to keep me up-to-date on it.

 

[Lorelei]

So glad to have been of assistance and Jason did great!! I will look forward to seeing the pics as you get them!

Thanks Lalantha.

Yes, please do send pictures. I'll have mine up within a couple weeks, so you'll be able to get an even better sense of what the setting looks like. I agree that it's beautiful. So elegant. The moment I saw it, I knew it was the one.

Just . . . wow.

So looking forward to seeing your photos. Could you please do me a HUGE favour and post a link here when they''re up? I will try and pick it up via the forums, but I just don''t seem to be able to get my email alerts to work.

Yes, will do. Lesley tells me the ring should be ready to ship by mid-next-week! I wonder if I can get some of Brian''s beautiful close-up shots even earlier than that.

Hi again,

Sorry for the infrequent posts, but I won''t have much to report till around September. However, I was toying with the idea of getting one of these so I/she/we can take a nice close look at the ring when I get it:

What do you think?

If you just want to look at the inclusions then 10x is sufficient and the power the labs use for clarity grading. A stronger power is sometimes needed to check out an inscription so the 20x might work for that. I see the company are in the UK so thats useful.
