Nice

Personally I'd bump up the clarity to the VS2 range and drop the color to the F range.

But to each his own.

Ditto. VS2 would be cleaner and the drop to an F color barely perceptible. Still, if it's eye clean then it might not be such an issue. And there's always that kudos of having a 'D' stone...

Ooh...those are gorgeous diamonds! But unfortunately, out of our budget.

Actually, FH wants a 1.3, VS2, D... but it''s also a lot more pricey. I''m getting the current one for less thatn $7K... and it seems like a really good deal, given that it''s completely eye clean.

Hi Icegurl,

I recognize that one. Writing from home but the angles/measurements are 2nd to none and the relationship between the upper and lower girdle angles indicate no painting or digging ensuring you a top grade by either AGS or GIA for the highest optical performance. Drop us an email and we can confirm the clarity for ya if interested.

Kind regards,

Oh, yes looks like a nice stone! I would totally have them check on the clarity for you and then snatch it up before someone else gets it! I know how horrible it is when someone else gets ''your'' diamond.

Rhino: i LOVE the ring!! it seriously looks awesome!

Sunkist: Someone actually almost had MY ring!! I was drooling over this diamond for about 2 weeks. FH wasn''t too thrilled about the inclusions (which are very very minor compared to other SI2''s I''ve seen) so it took me 2 weeks to convince him. Finally, he said "ok hon...let''s put down the deposit and have it appraised..." and whaddya know... it''s gone!! I was SO heartbroken! Blame it on pms, but I nearly teared up at the loss of MY diamond!! hahaha. After that one, nothing seemed to compare. Even bigger, higher clarities, I didn''t like. I always found something wrong with them. I even kept coming back to look at the diamond, even though it was sold! Then today, I went to go look at it again, and low and behold, the "it has been purchased" writing was GONE!! So I called them and it turns out that a lady who lost her ring had it on hold to buy it with her insurance money. Luckily, she found it, and therefore no longer had the funds to purchase it!! I was beyond thrilled!! I guess we were just meant to beeeee! hahaha.... (yes, my FH thinks I''m crazy, too!)

please keep us posted on what you decide..looks like a winner to me.

OMG ... Icegurl ... Tim told me about this earlier in the week when this happened. I see the stone has been removed from our site which means you must have checked out with it. I am so thrilled for you. My lab tech Chas told me the stone was totally eye clean so I am confident about it. Thanks for sharing and I can''t wait till you see this thing live. All I can say is get your sunglasses ready.

Warmest regards,

way kewl
That diamond was ment to be yours there is no other explaination!
May you wear it in good health and may it bring you much joy.

 

[icegurl]

You guys all seriously rock!! I''m going to be seeing my baby in person tomorrow! I''m so excited! Thank you all for all your advice and kind words! I''ll keep you posted!

Wow - what great fortune with the stone. I can imagine how it was to ''lose'' the stone...I too had the first part of that eperience. I had picked out a stone, and called in to find out about it. When I called back the next day, they told me it had been sold. But in the end I think things tend to always work out. Glad to hear that it turned ot well in the end for you!

 

[icegurl]

The diamond is absolutely GORGEOUS! I''ve never seen a diamond sparkle so much!

Thank you soooo much, pricescope members! And thank you sooooo much, GOG staff! I highly, highly recommend GOG to anyone who is searching for a great diamond. I knew the stone would be pretty, but what I visualized it to look like in my head didn''t even come close to how beautiful it really was! Thank you all for your help!
