Thank you all for the kind words. I'll be sure to post some profile shots tomorrow, but as you can imagine we're still a little shell-shocked by all the attention (well, at least I am).
My favorite part about the stone was finding something just under the magic number of 2.5 without going over (to avoid the premium). Basically, everyone told me an AGS0 that was both E or F and VS2 or better in the 2.4-2.49ct size couldn't be found....but there was 1 and only 1. Not wanting someone else to get that stone was a nice kick in the rear to go ahead and take the first step of buying the diamond.
For those that are curious there's around .95 carats of side stones.
I cannot believe the beauty of that stone in this shot. We see some great stones here, but you have found an absolute drop-dead gorgeous diamond. My goodness. I'll be coming back often to drool.
I haven''t forgotten that I owe you all some more shots (including the profile). I think the weekend will be a good time to get my act together. Thanks again everyone for the kind words.
