I bought this H SI1 3.34 ct rb from (Jonathan the Rhino) GOG last may.....

[Dancing Fire]

luckily before 3 ct stones started to skyrocket.

Jonathan call the stone eye clean, i know the gia map looks bad but i couldn't see any inclusions without a loupe all i see is a lot of sparkles.it's beautiful i send it to dave atlas,(Chris) who did the appraisal said it's a high end H color, more closer to a G and a nice EYE CLEAN SI1 and it's one of the best preforming stone he has seen. on a scale of 1-10, he gave it a 9 since he never calls any stone a 10.The stone is mounted on a 14k wg 4mm wide band,size 4.75, 4 prong setting.(i know,i know..cheap setting) i hate to drop 5k on a setting and she changes her mind in couple of months,there goes 5k down the toilet,we all know how women are changes their mind every minute.

[DiamondsRagirlsbestfriend]

YOWZA! That''s one beautiful (and giant) diamond. Since her finger size is so small, it''s going to look gigantic!

 

[belle]

if there were a drippy drippy pooly drooly icon on here (hint hint leonid) this would be the place to use it!

 

[Kaleigh]

Beg? Teenagers?- Sounds like someone needs a visit from the SuperNanny!

Right! I mean, what is the point in having kids if they don''t fetch things for you and teach you how to do stuff on the computer?

 

[Mara]

looks great...the setting makes it look huge (not like it is or anything!!)....

are you re-posting this because you are looking for a new setting? for a second, i thought it was because you were planning on selling it!

 

[Jennifer5973]

DF, this stone is a real winner! You did REALLY well here! And the setting shows it off nicely, IMO, especially for such a petitie finger size--you don''t want/can''t have too much additional bling!

And I agree-hand shots are a must or we will vote you off the island!

 

[Dancing Fire]

7/1 ...yeah come on over and give her a good spanking.

Mara....this is the first time that i posted pictures on this ring.

Jenn...she only wore the ring a few times,she's afraid if 1 prong breaks the stone might fall out.to be honest i prefer the 6 prong setting but since her 1.15 ct is set in a 6 prong so i went with the 4 prong for this stone.

 

[Mara]

I must be on crack...I thought that you had posted about this ring before but maybe it was just the stone? Or maybe you never posted but talked about it? I can't keep all this 3c+ stuff straight...when all you see is sparkle!!

 

[yellowfan]

Dancing Fire!

What a beautiful stone!

Did you surprise your wife with it? or did she help pick it out? It looks amazing!


Best,

Lori/yellowfan

actually,i bought the stone for myself but 9.7 mm is too big for my taste so it ended up in a ladies ring.

 

[Dancing Fire]

Diamond habit, definitely!

 

[Kaili]

Oh my lord!!!

I have to pull out my ice skates for that one!
Absolutely stunning!!!

Speaking of safe prongs... how about eight ? The more they are, the smaller they get !

The stone below is no larger than yours.

It is a vintage ring. The band should be less wide than that... the stone is slightly less than 3 carats.

 

[Dancing Fire]

thanks guys for all the nice compliments.

 

[Jennifer5973]

I really like the 8 prong esp. with such a large stone!

 

[Dancing Fire]

last pictures, i promsie.

 

[cflutist]

DF, that is one Honker of a stone

Just blinding.

I really like the setting, plain, sophisticated, "just the facts mam" kind of setting. As my interior designer used to say,
"It really makes a statement".

Congrats.

 

[Mara]

I agree actually that the setting is a very simple but classic piece, I like the wide band and it seems to showcase the stone and it''s size quite well. Definitely not a bad selection at all and I like the head and how it cradles the stone.
