Stunning ring! I don''t think I''ve seen a princess set that way- I love the slim knife edge - very sleek and gives all the attention to that amazing stone.
Well done!

"v" prong settings for princess cuts rock. Nice.

 

[valeria101]

Cool!

Which diamond is this? The picture seems to show a slightly thick girdle, large table & flat crown... which sounds like the original choice you had lined up. Just curious

Can''t imagine how a traditional ring like this could be not liked - it''s pretty much the safest bet there is aside letting the girl do the shopping, IMO.

no, I actually ended getting somthing else. the measurments came out to be the IDEAL princess cut... at least that is what 3 apprasials told me. I believe it was around 68 table and 70 depth with measurement ratio at 1.001 or something.

 

[lilyinct]

Beautiful, beautiful ring....I''m sure she will love it! Congrats!

 

[Patty]

[SeaOats]

Please post hand pics after the proposal!

 

[lulubboy]

It was like 2.05 carats
Color - H
Clarity - VS2

Got another apprasial from GIA -

Lady gave me G for color
and VVS2-VS1 for clarity.

Why the discrepancy between GIA grads?

 

[jcrow]

where did you purchase it?

 

[lulubboy]

This was the kicker.

The GIA certificate was really:

Color H and clarity SI1

the seller told me that he has been in business for years and NEVER saw such a great diamond that was a SI1.. so he told me if u can find some one who apprases it for SI1, he would give me $500 - $1000 back. So I was like ok.

I took it to a GIA grad to appraise it after buying it for the 2nd appraisal (Ginger''s in VA). the lady told me that to her it was
a G in color and AT least a VVS2-VS1 in clarity.

I told her well the cert says SI1.. she was like NO way. The person grading it must of HAD a bad day. She said if u want, send it back to GIA and I gurantee u that it will come back with better results. She told me that I got lucky from someone elses mistake.

So after 2 GIA people telling me the same thing, I felt pretty happy about the purchase.
